A few pictures to put with the voices today---and a video of the guests today (Buskin and Batteau) since Google seems to be having problems in the sidebar videos this is the best way to go give you a sense of their terrific talents---and my alliteration:








And now for a few stills of some of the other people on today's program.

A few pictures to put with the voices and musicians this week and a few comments that need to be made---Fyvush Finkel a brilliant actor on the Yiddish stage as well as movie and stage roles up until to this day---and, given the program I should add, Thanks God--and the Barton Bros. one big hit that never made them a crossover commodity:

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

For answers to some of your questions regarding the Traditions Trivia queries, the N E R F A queries, and the other calls please do see the Program Notes Page .

In two weeks Elaini Newport of The Capitol Steps will be joining me for a brief---under 30 minutes--segment as will Buskin and Batteau. I hope today's guest was as appreciated by you as he was by yours truly.

I have to single out the new John McCutcheon work as extraordinary and something you will want to listen to in its entirety. I know I did.

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


Don't forget that the show is archived for two weeks at http://www.wfdu.fm/ if you or anyone you know might have missed it. Not to forget, as well, is Theodore Bikel's newest work which opens in previews this evening at the Baruch Auditorium of CUNY on 25th St. and Lexington Ave., NYC.


We ended, as you will recall, the program with Lou Jacobi---he passed away at age 95 on October 23. He was at an assisted living facility on The Bronx. A long and wonderful career that included stage (Don't Drink The Water, The Tenth Man, and more;), Film (Avalon, My Favorite Year, and many more), Television (The Man From U N C L E, Playhouse 90, The Dean Martin Show---and many more) , Commercials (too numerous to name), Recordings. For those who like trivia---his given name was Louis Harol Jacobovitch.

He will live on in fond memory and, certainly, on SUNDAY SIMCHA.

Only one picture today----LOU JACOBI. He had a brilliant and long career. Rest In Peace.

Another interesting conversation with Theodore Bikel with the hopes that you are all intrigued about his latest project and will be seeing it. More of him and his music on SUNDAY SIMCHA on Nov. 8.

Congratulations to all the winners of CDs and tickets for The Guggenheim exhibits. Thanks also to those of you who called and mentioned my 1 year anniversary of my surgery---and glad to see me back at the ---as Henry Morgan used to say---"...the old stand".
