RE: Michael Shapiro

[music <music...>]

I know something about him--and esteem highly his beautiful, healing, 
Hassidische-style niggunim.  Indeed, one of his niggunim (in this case, an 
original piyyut by Michael in English--the title track of the cassette you're 
inquiring about) is on my CD, OPEN THE GATES!

It is not easy to find Michael's cassettes, so far as I know; at one point, he 
stopped producing new ones, much to my regret.  But I can inquire of him 
whether copies of this are available, and from whom.
