i Aw the CD on sale yesterday in the Jewish Museum's shop.  I was tempted to
buy it, but I decided to see wkat the folks on this mailist said about it.
I'm glad I held off.

But it wasn't a wasted visit.  The Chagal show is interesting, and there are
always things I want to see there, even if I've seen them several times
before.
