Some requests and some old favorites in anticipation of our annual fundraising efforts next week. Should you care to pledge in advance you can do so by e mail to me at the above address and if you go to BILLHAHNPROGRAMNOTES you will see the premiums that have been kindly sent to me to thank you for your support. A schedule of the amounts for the premiums is on that page as well. A pledge of any size is welcomed and appreciated. Please be sure to include a mailing address (for the premium and pledge sheet), phone number (in case of a problem), and your desired premium if eligible.

All information will be destroyed after fund-raising is over and will not be shared with any other entity.

Tough to write that number---2010. Where did all those 19--s go?

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

Today's was given over to a full hour of Comedy Corner by THE CAPITOL STEPS and is an exclusive presentation by WFDU with agreement by myself and the purveyors of the program---The Capitol Steps (who will be in our area in Feb.).

Instead of a playlist here is a video of the group in performance:




Next week we return to our usual format and introduce you to a brilliant 15 year old violinist and focus on the immense talent of ZERO MOSTEL show in NYC devoted to him and the person who wrote it and totally encompasses Mostel on the stage. The audience gives an audible sigh of amazement when he enters the stage. The program does not disappoint in sound and fury.
