My Father was a Songwriter

My father, Samuel Schuman z"l, was a songwriter. I tell a story about him entitled, cleverly enough, My Father was a Songwriter. (You can listen to it below or view it on YouTube here.)

We have written versions of more than 80 of his songs, but audio recordings of only a few. You can listen to them below, download them individually (right-click anywhere on a grey rectangle and choose "Save Audio As …"), or download them all as mp3 files (in a 85mb zip file) here.
