PLAYLIST TRADITIONS JUNE 28, 2009

Any comments, queries, and requests are always welcome. Please e mail wfdutraditions@yahoo.com

Congratulations to all the winners of CDs and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival tickets. A delight to have spoken with all of you and sorry that you all could not have been winners---but, in a sense, you were since you listened to commercial free and eclectic themed radio by tuning in.

PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA JUNE 28, 2009

Any comments, queries, requests---and general kvetching please e mail sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

A tip of the hat and a visit with the artists that partook in the Theodore Bikel Gala at Carnegie Hall on June 15. For more information check the main page BILLHAHNPROGRAMNOTES.BLOGSPOT.COM . If you were tuned in today then you also know a bit more about most of the performers and if you click on the right side videos you will see one of the other brilliant performers that evening---Michael Wex.

I know---a week late. However, not a dollar short. Takes time to put the show together and patience is a virtue in this age of instant news and gratification.

A few pictures to put a face to the voice this week:

Speaking of birthday celebrations please do go to the main page and read about the Theodore Bikel Gala at Carnegie Hall---and--next week we will feature performers from that event (not music from the actual event).

Besides the usual features you know we spend some time with a wonderful Calypso group---THE TALBOT BROTHERS. On June 14 Clement Talbot, the son of one of the brothers will be my guest where you will hear a lot about them, Bermuda, its evolvement, and the contribution The Talbot Brothers made to that evolvement---and, of course, lots of music.

A treasure trove of new material and a nostalgia trip to some of the artists we have not heard in some time rounded out the program.
