Host Ed Kraus
It's amazing how being a host of a radio show puts your radar on for new music you haven't heard before. Just a week ago I was in the lobby of Neveh Shalom and there was a pile of CD's, just lying there on the information table (I hope they were free!). I picked one up, it looked interesting ... and there you go, mea culpa. Cuts 4 and 6 were broadcast today from this compilation CD put out by the Conservative Movement ... "The Best of the Spirit Series". There are a number of cantors and other artists featured on this CD, I don't know if it is for sale or was for free just because the head of the movement just happened to be in town giving a talk. In any case, the playlist shows the original source of the tracks played rather than the compilation. The CD I have today has a website www.TheSpiritSeries.com ... and when I'm done with this playlist I'll check it out as well.
Zie gezunt,
