Knocking On Wood, Walking On Water
She’s gone from “Mi Adir” to “Jesus Walks.” Our old friend, former Neginah Orchestra performer, and world class jazz violinist Miri Ben-Ari has taken her first grammy award for writing a rap song with Kayne West.

miri actually helped write the lryrics to Jesus Walks? i thought she just did the background music. how funny that an israeli won a grammy for writing a song about jesus LOL. did she go up and accept it?
She’s credited as a writer because she wrote her violin part.
I remember her well. Toward the end of her career with neginah
she became so unreliable they would tell clients who booked her she may not show up. She used to cancel at the last minute etc.
She played well but she didn’t understand like some other musicians such as Arkady how to play with a band and not take over to the point it become it becomes a one man show.
It’s pretty funny that this is the way she won a grammy- in a RAP
of all places. I wonder if she really considers it music.
