Reply To: A real test for me:Your suggestions?

FLG…you can take the refined tunes(of those “goyish songs” you remember) and rewrite them with meaningful English words…you will merge both worlds seamlessly.Just for yourself…for the fun of it.

Also,stock up on some great Jewish tapes.I think you’d like anything by Abie Rotenberg…and Rabbi Eli Teitelbaum has 2 stunning Shabbos Zemiros tapes(still in the stores?).I am an FFB and learned a few beautiful NEW tunes from that tape.Enjoy!
