A Brief Statement: As you are aware that the sad news this weekend was the passing of the brilliant artist Bruce Adler. As I mentioned on TRADITIONS this afternoon, I was not able to include this news or a tribute in today's Sunday Simcha since the show was already going to be aired. Please do join me next Sunday (August 3) when the program will commemorate the life of Bruce Adler who died at age 64 on July 25 in the final half hour of the program.

Any comments, queries, requests, or general kvetching please email sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

FIRST---The numbers are in and this program has now (the end of the station's fiscal year) had 99% of its pledges honored. Honestly---that is amazing since most public station are lucky to get 30% honored. My thanks to you for helping to keep "Yiddishkeit" on the air---and WFDU is the only station in this area--to my knowledge--that allows such a free wheeling "ethnic" program. WFDU, of course, joins in the thanks for supporting it and the programming it provides as as an alternative to what else is out there on the radio dial---a welcome alternative, I add.
