TRADITIONS PLAYLIST March 25, 2007

Any comments, requests, questions are always welcome. Please e mail: wfdutraditions@yahoo.com

It is hoped that you appreciated the wonderful featured CD by Joel Mabus-- The Banjo Monologues as well as our step back into folk and country radio --then called hillbilly--and how it evolved to the present. WFDU has in its vast archives a particular piece that not only I--but Paul Bain (our C/W host) have lost over the years---and it was my request in the 1950s---submitted by postcard---Red Foley and The Sugarfoot Rag.

If you have any requests let us do it now the modern way---e mail to the above address. They will be honored.

Some other truly interesting things were featured and judging by the calls today were well received. Some music addressing the great exhibition at the Museum of The City of New York relating to the Spanish Civil War and New Yorkers.

In addition to the thematic material we had some wonderful new CDs to present to you.

At this point perhaps you might like a rogues gallery of our artists in the "Old Time Radio Set". The newer ones we leave out for space reasons:

Any comments or questions please e mail: sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

I suppose we can talk about today's program as a comedy corner that you would not think would get on radio. It did---albeit heavily excised. A 1968 Friars Roast of Don Rickles and hosted by Jack E. Leonard (The Mouth That Roars)

In addition some moving pieces from a mother and daughter along with wonderful blend of some traditional and non-traditional Jewish music.

TRADITIONS PLAYLIST March 11, 2007

It was amazing how fast one hour went by and we hardly made a dent into RR songs. Some of you called to say you could not believe the hour was already over.

There are all types of trains---not only the one you see above. Think Subways, Mule Trains, Underground Railroads---the list goes on.

I was happy to honor a request which lead to some requests for some great old country material.

Modern Man explains why I do not play Dylan.

As it is said by the famous "they" a good time was had and a few message, hopefully, also crossed the ether.

Let me not neglect the mention of 2 wonderful CDs that have come in and are so meaningful and, musically, brilliant. Susan Werner's "The Gospel Truth" and the wonderful 70th Birthday celebration of Peggy Seeger.

But--we start with a tip of the wristwatch to Daylight Time.

SUNDAY SIMCHA PLAYLIST MARCH 11, 2007

The post Purim show and a week before St. Patrick's Day. On that day we are all Irish and self deprecating humor --be it Jewish, Irish, Italian, etc; is always good if done well---and since on the day of dear St. Patrick we are all Irish a brief time with some "humor' in comedy corner.

After that our potpourri of new and old music to bring back some memories and move on into the world of new traditions.

Playlist Sunday Simcha March 4, 2007

Sadly, as you know, I did not bring my "Gregger". But I made noise just the same and I hope you did for the most joyous holiday in the Jewish Calendar. Hopefully you also find it that---though I, personally, can think of other events that are even happier and, yet, they are commemorated in a more serious vein. Myself included because of the tradition in news gathering and also on radio/TV presentations.
If you ever are able to see a work by Elizabeth Swados www.lizswados.com it is something not to be missed. From Dispatches, Haggadah to Runaways and all the stops in between.
I had the honor and joy of interviewing her at her home a number of years ago and also having seen all her productions. An aside--that interview was the start of my Tabletalk program.

Hopefully you enjoyed the Purim selections, the music and the humor. So---spin your "gregger" once again and read the playlist that follows:
