The talk was similar to a radio program, with talk about the music
interspersed with segments of what he was discussing.  The big difference
was audience participation.  The audience was expecting more of a
conventional lecture, but once a few started two-way discussion others
chimed in.  The lecture was a mind-opener for those who hold the view that
there is one acceptable kind of Jewish music.  I hope our cantor will
introduce to our congregation in services some of the lovely melodies he
played.

I encourage others to invite Robert Cohen to their shuls, not to perform but
to educate.
