PLAYLIST TRADITIONS DECEMBER 27, 2009

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

This was our annual look back at the year for our choices---only ours and perhaps not yours--of this year's 20 favorite recordings. 10 by yours truly and 10 by Ron Olesko. It was hard to choose just 10 because there were quite a few others that were truly wonderful. We also paid tribute to those we lost this year and closed with some year end music and our hopes for a very happy, healthy and peaceful new year for us all.

Now--a video and also a picture to put with the voices of today.
