PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA APRIL 26, 2009

I hope you enjoyed our re-hearing of some of the items we have not heard in a while and also, as you know, we honored some requests today. If you have any---or any comments--just e mail sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

Next week's program will feature a few birthday celebrations (not mine), some really intriguing new material that has come in, a few surprises, and as always Comedy Corner.

Coming up shortly is the 70th anniversary of the SS St. Louis setting sail from Germany and all the tragic events that later engulfed it--it being what came to be termed The Ship of Fools. If you have any information about this---say, personal reminiscences and such (photos for this web page) I would welcome them and hope to read them on the air. I have one from someone I know and has lectured on the subject. More would be welcomed.

Now some pictures to put a face with the voices this week:

PLAYLIST TRADITIONS APRIL 19, 2009

Those of you who were tuned in today probably realize it was a very full program---Earth Day, Holocaust Remembrance Day and a visit by two wonderful guests. At this time I also want to thank one of our very loyal and supportive listeners for some rarities she lent me to air for you and also for the information about some really interesting venues which I was able to pass along to you along with the opportunity to play an advance copy of a brilliant piece of work by Susan McKeown and Lorin Sklamberg.

I hope you will check out some of the new videos on this page---one does not see Eric Bogle enough and please meet Ruthie Foster who I have heard over the last number of years---and tell your friends. Always good to broaden horizons.

Some pictures now to put with some of the voices:

PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA APRIL 19, 2009

Today's program, while covering quite a few things, really spent much of it commemorating the Shoa since Tues. April 21 is Yom Hashoah---Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Rather than pictures to put to the voices this week 3 pictures that seem more meaningful---one a classic published in the NY Times a while ago. Then a picture of the finest reporter and commentator to have walked the face of this sad old world---and, finally, an event which I witnessed in 1936:

PLAYLIST TRADITIONS APRIL 5, 2009




If you were tuned in you will recall our guest today---Phillip Bimstein the creator of The Zion Canyon Song Cycle. A nice e mail was received from him saying that he was listening on the internet and enjoyed the entire program. Hopefully, you will visit his website and find out even more about the work and how to own it.

Any requests for themes or particular pieces are welcomed if you e mail me at wfdutraditions@yahoo.com. Please take a moment to note a few of the new artists featured today.

A few pictures to put with the voices you heard today:

PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA APRIL 5, 2009

Erev Pesach program featuring some old favorites, some new comedy material, and some ecumenical material that I hope was well received as such things should in times like these---or any others.

Let me offer you my since wishes for a joyous Passover with friends and family and in recalling the tales of yore realize the suffering still going on the world---then--"...let's eat".

Here are some faces to put with this week's voices:
