Lishner and Omega

[Warschauer <Warschauer...>]

Yes, the Lishner recording is really beautiful.   

It's sad that the Omega catalog is out of print.   

I have a special interest in this issue, in that my "The Singing Waltz: 
Klezmer Guitar and Mandolin" CD, plus Shura Lipovsky's "Moments of Jewish 
Life," 
which I play on, were on the Omega Label.   

When Seymour Solomon passed away, the label folded.   There were rumors of a 
sale, but last I noticed, the label has disappeared without a trace.   

It would be great if someone wanted to re-release the catalog.   Any ideas, 
Simon (or anyone else?).
