Having just had ear surgery and being "stereophonically challenged," as well as having some vocal issues, I am still finding myself able to share music just as before. I am looking forward to going to Crane Lake Camp for my two-week faculty stint on July 12-26, which, this year, will offer me some of the musical nourishment I didn't get from Hava Nashira, having stayed, instead, in my congregation to be a rabbi on Shavuot. As I have listened to some of the recordings from this year's HN (thank you to my clandestine source!), I am already amazed, but not surprised, that some of the songs sung there were also songs that I incorporated in to our Shavuot evening music/study session at Temple Israel of Dover, NH, as well as our Confirmation service on May 29 (the first one held at the congregation in many years). I am thankful for Facebook, the HANASHIR list, this blog and other sources that keep this Jewish musical community connected. It's easy to feel alone, and just reading about someone else's ideas, triumphs and challenges can offer a sense of collegiality and inspiration. I have downloaded 4 Jewish CDs on iTunes and from oySongs over the last week, and I will be posting a couple of my newer songs on my reverbnation/larrykarol site. I hope that the song-sharing can continue throughout the year as we wait for another opportunity to be together in one place. Also, once I develop my "God on my iPod" song list for my Crane Lake mini-course, I will post that list here (that's one of my next projects). Have a good summer, everyone!!!<br />L'shalom,<br />Larry KarolLarry Karolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577992909699601124noreply@blogger.com
