5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful album, April 12, 2000

This review is from: Happy Hanukkah My Friend (Audio CD)

I am Doug Konecky's daughter. He and Justin Wilde were working on this album throughout most of my childhood and I remember hearing the songs over and over again as I grew up. "Light the Candles of Freedom" and "The Maccabees Went Marching" were my absolute favorites as a child, although all the songs are beautifully melodic and lovable -- and definitely a nice change from "O Hanukkah" and "Dreidel Dreidel." Although I must have listened to each of these songs a million times, I've never once felt tired of them. I recommend this album to anyone and everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars This cd glows like the Hanukah candles!, July 1, 1999

This review is from: Happy Hanukkah My Friend (Audio CD)

It's so refreshing to finally hear some new songs---ones that are not only delightful but also inspirational. When Hanukah arrives each year I am always at a loss to find meaningful gifts for my friends and relatives. I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon this gem and you can be sure that, this year, I will be giving "Happy Hanukah, My Friend" to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hanukkah Music Ever, November 17, 2003

My title tells it all. This little known CD has some of the most enjoyable new Hanukkah music as well as original takes on the old standards. Some traditionists may find it too modern, but for the rest of us it takes Hanukkah music to a new level. It's just plain good listening that just happens to be music for Hanukkah.
