Reb Shlomo says….

What a heavenly privilege! In my life it’s the deepest, it’s the very deepest to know that G-d blessed me with a melody, and somewhere, somewhere in this big world, in this little world, there are children playing my music, and somewhere, somewhere in this world, maybe there is a synagogue where they sing my melody on Friday night, and maybe, maybe somewhere, somewhere there is a synagogue where the last prayer on Yom Kippur, N’iloh, people pour out their hearts with my melody. And maybe, maybe somewhere there is a Beis Medrash, where people are dancing to my melody on Simchas Torah.

I want to thank all of you for singing my melodies; I want to thank all the children for singing my melodies, and above all, above all, I want to thank the One, the Only One, for giving me such a “beyond” privilege, because it’s unbelievable. Do you know how many new songs come down to the world every day? And G-d gave me the privilege to pick some of them up, some good ones. I bless you with everything.
