My dear Friends
Saturday March 27th is the date I am planning to sing in Starbucks. the performance will take place in Starbucks in Market Street from 6.30pm. It will be great to get another chance to do this and a friend has offered to come and sing with me, so I won't be alone.
We plan to do Blowing in the wind, Mr Tambourine Man and others together. I will sing most of it and my friend will play her guitar along. I am hoping that these and other songs will resonate with the audience-the whole thing should be quite informal as the people will be popping in and out during the course of the evening.
Then I plan to sing my Hebrew melodies-many and various. There is a beautiful setting of Psalm 23 and Psalm 126, sung as the grace after meals on the Sabbath, so it takes me right back to my childhood. Then there is Jerusalem of gold, composed during the 6 day war in Israel Palestine and now very famous as the kind of theme tune of Jerusalem. Also there is Eli, eli , my God, my God,a song about the transcendence of God which was composed by a lady called Hannah Senesh.She was a Hungarian woman who became a fighter pilot in World War II and who lost her life at the hands of the Nazis.
My friend will sing solo too, from her repertoire of busking, so let's hope for a good night!
Shalom from
Sister Gila
