Re: Agents in US

[Susan Lerner <meydele...>]

I can't speak to the issue of agents...but I want to put in a big plug for 
this band.  I picked up their CD while at Ashkenaz last year and play it 
continually!   We featured the CD in our Yiddishkayt LA newsletter for the 
last quarter of 1999 because it is so good. They are quite outstanding.
