i have become fascinated by the cultural and political classical musical themes, such as the Smetana, Die Moldau, which has become, i think, the Israeli national anthem, and the Emperor quartet of Haydn, i think, which has become the National anthem of Germany and Austria, i think, and John Lennon's Imagine which started a western culture all by itself.  i apologize if you have already addressed this theme and idea.  if not, i think it would be a good topic for presentation and i humbly suggest it for the future.  i enjoy your daily show.  it is informative, creative and inspiring.  thanks in advance for reading this email.  My feeling is that like the Aboriginal cultural customs, the oral histories are often sung and accompanied by something simple like the beating of tom-toms and a rhythmic dance around the fire, or something more complex like the jingling of tamborines, by women, such as Miriam, and dance postures such as the Song of Moses and the Psalms of David and the Song of Solomon which must have had someone playing the lute or a trumpet or a ram's horn to announce the new year or a full orchestra to accompany Jan Pierce when he sings the song Kol Nid'ra.  Your programme should run forever as it has such interesting connections with the musics and the dances from prehistoric times and forgotten cultures such as the original Negro Jews of Abbysinia.  Thanks again for reading this fantasy of mine, and of others, i believe.  Sincerely, izzy
