We’re still cranking away on the new Simply Shabbat CD. Finished mixing Or Zarua, Shiru L’Adonai, and Romemu this week. I’m really excited to share this album with people.. probably more than with albums in the past, since these melodies really came from the last 2 years of live Shabbat services - sort of feels like we made this one together WITH our friends on the road.
last weekend, I had a sweet Shabbat at 6th and I in DC. I think this was the loudest singing group of young adults we’ve had yet! After playing at 6th and I for a couple years now, it’s really like coming home to tons of friends, lots of cool shared experiences, and still lots to learn about ways to continue making Shabbat meaningful, spiritual, and fun. All tov.
3 weeks ago, I got my boat out with Darin, the old keyboard player in the band. We went skiing and wakeboarding in a nearby lake… Darin actually barefooted which was way cool. It was a beautiful day and the water was so cold that my legs turned a bit blue. So, this week we took the boat out, but all of the lakes were so flooded that we couldn’t find a place where we could put the boat in. After about 2.5 hours of searching for an entrance that wasn’t flooded out, we settled for sitting at an Arby’s and having a nice talk over milk shakes… cute, eh! We’ll get out there soon, darn it!!!
