Recently, my friend and fellow creator Julie Lavender released her music CD The Siddur Project.

Julie hosts the syndicated Dreamfarm Café radio show, which features area musicians: an “experience of eclectic jazz,” says the show’s website, “an intimate window into the very heart of an artist’s creative process.”

But Julie also writes and performs her own original music, and paints original art as well. Hence, The Siddur Project.
