Hi All,
Menachem Vinegrad here
Its some time now since I posted on Etni- I'm doing other things now
as you will
see. I am semi-retired, though still teaching English  at Yeshiva
Tichonit Alonei Habashan, a couple of days a week
I still organize   Jacob's Ladder Festival along with Yehudit.
We have a wonderfully funny entertainer coming over for the December festival
(Yes its twice a year now): Christine Lavin, singer/songwriter , comedienne and
authoress from New York will be with us at Nof Ginosar 10-11th December-
exclusively at Jacob's Ladder.

I also compile and present weekly  folk radio broadcasts  on Radio Upper
Galilee.
Mostly the broadcasts are in hebrew , mixed with english, but occasionally I'll
do an entire broadcast in english.
This week's programme includes a wonderful banjo-driven rap by 91 year old Pete
Seeger "English is Cuh-Ray-Zee. I urge you to play it for your good classes-
in fact play them the whole show- there's some good stuff there. Use a simple
editing programme, such as Audacity or the like if you need to
present only the
one song.
If I get sufficient requests I will compile an entire programme in english, you
are welcome to make requests, either for songs representing countries, folk or
world genres, for specific songs ( if I have them) or for a mention for your
school or class.
Take a listen and see if you like it

 The following were interviews with live and recorded music from artists in our
studio.
The Jill Rogoff  episode Tue, 31 Aug 2010    was entirely in english:
as was the Marcie & Paul Forrest episode 27th July  2010
I appreciate feedback, requests and ratings for the programmes made on
the icast
site.
The complete playlists are on the website
The site is www.icast.co.il  The programme is called "Shomim Olam" write it in
Hebrew
If you really like a particular singer or song a simple google will put you in
touch with the artists. They appreciate the feedback . My pupils are still
talking about the contact we had with a singer last year.
Looking forward to your listening and to your comments.
Menachem
