PLAYLIST TRADITIONS AUGUST 8, 2010

Any comments, queries, requests, and other matters are always welcome via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com

Some responses for David Silva's (or my request ) to comment on who he reminded you of and he has been advised---and thanks the writers.  As I suspected he did not know of them but now loves their work.

The "Focus" on another side of Harry Chapin was, I hope, meaningful.  I am happy to report that the Monday evening "Wild About Harry"  program in LI  (Stu Marcus produced, performed, and had an amazing array of LI talent) was attended by thousands (including this person who blended into the shadows quite well).  Do not forget we are archived for 2 weeks at the website so you may want to re-hear a portion to see why the Finale of Cotton Patch--along with commentary---was played separately.

If you want to know more about Cotton Patch Gospel just comment and I will put something up on the 1st page of this Blog---also, it would be nice if more people asked for "Harry Chapin Song Nights"---along the lines of the wonderful Phil Ochs Song Nights,   His repertoire is huge and, amazingly only 2 or 3 are recalled as hits.

We will pass on the pictures this week except to give you small feeling of how good Cotton Patch Gospel is:

YES---there are better versions of this brilliant piece---BUT---this is non-professional and from the heart. Recall now---Harry Chapin wrote ALL the music and lyrics for this show Realize, also, that he never saw the opening since he died on the way to a rehearsal---and it is still being produced by local groups---that it is not the "hit" of, say, Jesus Christ, Superstar or Godspell is in the same category of why his brilliant music (save for 2 or 3 pieces) are ever recalled.

PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA AUGUST 1, 2010

Any comments, queries, requests--kvetching are always welcome via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

Hopefully we will soon be able to present Michael Ingram's finished "work in progress" soon and also get more Comedy Corner requests as we did this week.

One comment re: the Maxwell Klezmer Band piece about the Hupe---nothing to do with Chelsea Clinton---I promise.  I was on either "A" list so they are not on mine.

A few faces to put with today's voices:

In this case a much earlier face so you get 2 icons for the price of one.
