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 Cantor Aryeh Samberg. The words are a setting of excerpts from Psalm 118.
Betty also accompanied Bob, 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.
