In the recent edition of the Israeli Music magazine Shiru Lo, there is a report that the Music supplement of the N.Y. Times reviewed Moshe Gutman’s new album. Gutman, from N.Y., has close ties with the U.S. Attorney General, recently presented him with a copy of his new album and in turn presented it to President George Bush.

The story became known, writes Shiru Lo, when a Lubavitcher chasidim met with President Bush during Pesach and suddenly the President turned on his stero player and one could hear Koznitz nigunim. Bush said “I listen to this eventhough I don’t know what the words mean.”
