Sh’ma Take Seven

I know that there are musicians who talk about nailing a song in one take.

I am not one of them.

When the engineer announced “Sh’ma take 7,” I had this wild vision of Moses on Sinai with God’s bellowing voice;

“Sh’ma take 7.”

Which got me thinking. We have an unlimited number of “takes.”. That’s what the High Holidays are. Another take. Another chance to do it right. To fine-tune. To do it better the next time.

We got the Sh’ma on that 7th take. And laid down the tracks for five other pieces.

And now it’s time for bed…
