hammered dulcimer for the beautiful
outdoor wedding and reception of the
daughter of one of her HD students. The

pickups.
AUGUST 2011
On the 10th of August Betty played at
the Lindenwood Christian Church music
program (2400 Union Avenue, Memphis),
accompanied by concert pianist Dr. Steve Katz. We played a composition written by Steve; a song called "Pishcu Li" earlier recorded in Hebrew and sung by Rabbi Aryeh Samberg.
The words are a setting of excerpts from Psalm 118.
Betty also accompanied one of her HD students, Bob Schwarz, who is an accomplished musician on several instruments, as he plays the alto recorder in a rendition of "Simple Gifts."
This program was repeated in a benefit concert for the Memphis Jewish Home on August 14th.
Enjoying a successful concert performance:
Dr. Betty Dawson, Dr. Sandra Dee, and
Bob Schwarz.

cipated, including pianists, singers, clarinetist.
