Re: two inquiries



Hi, Sam,

Assuming you're back from Klez Camp (I had wondered about that), two 
questions:

1) I was intrigued by your "Songs of the Holocaust" program of November 11th 
and sorry I couldn't be there (I'm more often in Boston--as I was then--than 
[even] in NYC), and I'm wondering whether you distributed handouts with your 
commentary on the text, music, background, etc., of the material you sang.  
If so, is that something you wouldn't mind sending a copy of?  Hardly the 
same as hearing the music (and I'm assuming [?] you don't have an audio- or 
videotape], but I'm sure I'd still benefit from reading.  Let me know, and 
thanks.

2) As previously inquired:  Where, if I may ask, did you find scholarly 
discussion of the possibility of "Ma'oz Tsur's" starting out as a hymn for 
Shavuot?  Seems, as I wrote earlier, an anomalous possibility, as that's one 
holiday that's *not* referred to in the text!

Please advise whenever you have the time.

Thanks and best wishes,

Robert Cohen
