I'm a fan of "Hanukkah O Hanukkah" myself (I almost made it a Song of the Week, before deciding upon "One Meatball" instead!), but it does seem strange that there haven't been more lovely songs written, or at least good lyrics written to existing melodies.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-20069842261157626262007-12-13T09:50:00.000-05:002007-12-13T09:50:00.000-05:00Would someone please, please, please give Ashley B...Would someone please, please, <I>please</I> give Ashley Bryan a GOLD Caldecott medal this year?

We do have one that I do enjoy with a mix of traditional fare and Bare Naked Ladies renditions, and even the dialogue from that Colbert report from the other day. Oh, and the Adam Sandler songs. It's a pretty hip Hanukkah CD.<BR/><BR/>Tadmack and Lady S, you will flip when you see some of the artwork in this new Ashley Bryan. Stunning. I debated taking a picture of the pages and posting it, but wasn't sure that (1) I was allowed (2) I had time.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-18412039982485549332007-12-13T08:03:00.000-05:002007-12-13T08:03:00.000-05:00I love Ashley Bryan!

Over the last few years I have also started collecting Hanukkah songs to play for my (all Christian, public school) students. Granted it is all "rock" music by bands like The Leevees and Barenaked Ladies, but they beat "I Have a Little Dreidel" any day.Lady Strathconnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593146637229427177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-61808172150053605682007-12-13T06:47:00.000-05:002007-12-13T06:47:00.000-05:00YAY Ashley Bryan!!!!I haven't seen the other one, ...YAY Ashley Bryan!!!!<BR/>I haven't seen the other one, but I don't doubt that Mr. Bryan needs a Caldecott for <I>Let it Shine</I>.
