From Joy Katzen-Guthrie ... News Summer 2009
The new December 2009 issue of Joy's Net Gazette is hot off the press. Click to see recent issues, or to join my mailing list. My monthly newsletter features updates regarding my concerts, tours, recordings, studio, heritage news, and discounts. Separate occasional updates keep you informed of specific news regarding music, tours, and studio announcements. My favorite part of the newsletters is the Neat News section, in which I share news of other artists, colleagues, friends, and resources. If you would like me to share news of your project, website, or information in my Neat News section, please email me and fill me in on what you're doing. Cick to sign up for the mailings you prefer via the new SafeSubscribe or SafeUnsubscribe feature found on the site and in emails. Your email address is kept private and your address is never shared or sold. Concerts, Classes, & More I update my calendar page virtually every day. Included are concerts, courses that I teach for Eckerd Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and Eckerd Elderhostel, speaking and lecture engagements, tours, and other special appearances.

My recordings are now available on Amazon, CD Baby, itunes, Rhapsody, CD Universe, and numerous other sites across the web in addition to this site. Visit my Online Store for current products or to connect directly to Amazon, CD Baby, or itunes pages with my products as well. My original set of three CDs of Jewish music is close to sellout of its third publication, and I will not be reissuing these CDs, but rather will be focusing on creating new recordings of Jewish music of all genres. With the final CDs available at this time, I will be offering them on the site and at appearances at a special sale price while they are in stock. Visit my Online Store to see these CDs and my special internet discount. The double-CD set of A Steadfast Bridge is in production and recording will soon begin on new CDs of Hebrew music and an upcoming Favorite Melody, Vol. 3. A lecture/class CD or series of CDs on the Jews of China and Jews of Asia is planned as well ... something that can be used as a resource, an audio class, or for enjoyment. I continue to lecture and teach on the subject, often including my audiovisuals of my visits to China. You will see more and more wonderful slide shows of photographs of China on my site in the coming weeks. Airplay & Fan Sites
In the works is a podcast of my own music that will include talk about the creation of the songs. I have considered a variety of topics for this podcast, from discussing the American popular songbook to speaking of my experiences in China. Ultimately, I felt that the most distinctive music I could share would be an intimate view of the songs I have created and the inspiration for them. I am often asked to explain these things, so it makes complete sense to share them in a podcast. The site expands continually as I complete new pages and add new sections. It has been an enormous task - the most challing part of which has been learning the complexities of the web program (Adobe GoLive) and the most enjoyable part of which has been using the complexities of the web program once learned. There has been much screaming behind the scenes! But each breakthrough is quite spectactular. I'm only in early stages. I would love to hear your feedback on the new site - compliments, advice, suggestions, creative ideas. Please keep in touch and thank you for visiting the site. Joy
