PLAYLIST TRADITIONS AUGUST 6, 2009


Any comments, queries, requests, or comments please e mail wfdutraditions@yahoo.com

I do hope you will look on the right side at some videos that are posted. JOEL MABUS is truly a treasure---dare I say a national treasure (even though he is rarely in our neck of the woods)--and his new CD is right up there with all his wonderful previous work.

On the "Program Notes Page you will find some videos of Les Paul and Mary Ford---we lost that Icon now and Mary Ford many years back. Perhaps they will now be able to tell us "How High The Moon".

Since this is the page for Playlists it also includes the brilliant artists I present on SUNDAY SIMCHA and now you will find some videos from a giant of the Yiddish Stage (and film) LEO FUCHS. As they say in Yiddish---"...gib a kik aher". Probably spelled the damned thing wrong.



This was a week of loss and also of one of finding renewed vibrancy in the amount of new material being put out by artists that have been with us for much time and also new comers. Mike Seeger was wonderful artist and had great heart in his unassuming persona and involving people in his music---if this were Sunday Simcha I would say he was a 'MENSCH' in every sense of the word. He and his music will forever be with us and our "heirs".

I would urge those of you who missed the part with Red Rock Rondo to go to their website and find out about the DVD. A brilliant piece of work that will totally absorb you.

Another heads up for you is that Jonathan Edwards will be joining me on the program in the fall prior to his appearance in Teaneck, NJ at Mexicali Blues.

Don't forget the programs are now archived for 2 weeks at http://www.wfdu.fm/ . At that site you can also see a bio of some of the hosts of various programs at the station.

Some faces to put with the voices this week:
