RE: ashes chayil

[Jewish Music Institute <jewishmusic...>]

Eyshes Chayil is a perfect feminist tract.  IT shows that from time immemorial, 
the
woman was the one that made all the big decisions, got all the business done, 
brought up
the family, and all the man could do was sit by the gate and thank his lucky 
stars he
has such a wonderful wife.

my response to Dick was:

have not formally named the station yet....thought ashes chayil to be a good
name for a mother's day format (actually will play all month).  I am open to
suggestions.  i will open it up to the list.

I do not have any music by your cantor that i know of.  I do have some
Machaya Klezmer band...i will look and see.
