spellbound to the music of flutist Akiva Ben-Horin.

Which, I've been corrected, *is* available in the US, your local Judaica or
frum-pop store may not carry it but (who else) Simon at Hatikva has it.

Many years ago, on a visit to Israel, when I saw the cover of the cassette 
(no CDs yet) I thought it would be a "new Age" type of recording, so I passed 
on it. The distributor kept telling me how great a recording it was and said 
it was exactly what I would want. I told him no and that was that. Meanwhile 
I purchased many other items and had him ship it to Hatikvah. When I received 
the shipment, he had thrown in a copy of the Akiva Be-Horin recording as a 
"sample"..I put on the cassette, and "Crow Pie" never tasted that good!  What 
a beautiful recrding this is...
