Re: Shmuel Lehman

[Susan Lerner <meydele...>]

Dear Itzik,

Your suggestions as to "Arbet un Frayhayt" as well as Ganovim Lider really 
stuck a chord with me.  I have had a discussion with your mother about the 
website which I am working on to distribute original Yiddish and klezmer 
music (initially) in downloadable sheet music form through the Internet.  I 
also had 1 conversation with Hankus Netsky sometime ago about including 
some facsimile copies and re-notated versions of some of the old European 
klezmer folios that the KCB Foundation has.  For various reasons, I haven't 
had a chance to focus on the reproduction of old music aspect of my venture 
yet.  But it may be simpler to start with the 2 collections of vocal music 
which you reference.  Do you know which libraries or collections have 
copies of Lehman's collections?

I will shortly send Beyle the initial draft of an agreement to include the 
songs which she and I have discussed on my website.  Undoubtedly she will 
send the document on to you or talk to you about it.

I look forward to hearing from you.
