PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA NOVEMBER 1, 2009

Any comments, queries, requests, and kevetcing is always welcome by e mail at sundaysimcha@yahoo.com





It is my delight to have been able to arrange for the exclusive airing in our area of the quarterly Capitol Steps programs---Politics Takes A Holiday (this being the Halloween edition). My own take on it is that with is at the heart of the Jewish sould and this is a perfect complement for that. Your thoughts would be more than welcome.





A few pictures now to put some faces with the voices:

A delight to welcome Jonathan Edwards to the program and, hopefully, you will see him at Mexicali Blues in Teaneck NJ on 11/6. Some upcoming guests will be Buskin & Batteau, Return To The Dream, Theodore Bikel, and more. Stay tuned.


If the winner of the tickets for the Guggenheim reads this please call 201 692-2806 and find out what has to be done to receive your tickets for the exhibition. There will be another pair on November 1. These are a gift from The Guggenheim Museum on the occasion of their 50th Anniversary and featuring a very special exhibit---Kandinsky.


My thanks for all the calls and comments on this program and, certainly, on the set of musicians of "a certain age.

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

You are aware, if you were tuned in, that Michael Oren, Israel's current ambassador to the U S, was my guest on TABLETALK some time back and I felt that since he current appointment it would be proper to present our conversation on this program. It is hoped that you found him as fascinating and interesting as I did. If you missed the program or have some friends or relatives who would like to hear this the show will be archived for 2 weeks at http://www.wfdu.fm/

PLAYLIST TRADITIONS OCTOBER 4, 2009



If you have any requests, comments, queries, or critiques please e mail wfdutraditions@yahoo.com


I have to say at the start that this program was truly a delight due to some wonderful material by some really meaningful artists along with the kind comments of some of our listeners. The thematic material was well recieved from the calls and e mails and---the vote is in----James Hill over Robert Merrill---go figure.


Please do join me on October 18 when the very talented and fascinating Jonathan Edwards--no, not John Edwards who is hanging out with Dave Letterman---will join me for conversation and music prior to his appearance at Mexicali Blues in Teaneck (11/6). Best make reservations.


Just to remind you all that if you missed any or all of the program it is arcived at http://www.wfdu.fm/ for 2 weeks.


One last thing in the comments. Janet Bates was a wonderful addition to the program today and while you can go to her website listed below I think a visit to her blog in the link above is worth the visit. A heroic person fighting a winning (hopefully) battle with cancer.
