PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA DECEMBER 26 2010

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

My thanks to Ron Olesko for braving the elements today and putting on a truly interesting and  meaningful program.  We were supposed to do our annual joint year end program---with no joints involved--but the weather precluded my getting over there and our phone connection did  not work as well. 

Both Ron and I had put together a list of 10 recordings this past year that we each considered our favorite ones---that is the operative word(s) "our" --perhaps not yours.  If you have thoughts of others please let us know and the reasons.  We will play them in early January of they are appropriate.

You will see the playlist below---and now I will list my 10 Favorites---Ron's you will see by elimination on the playlist and I also thank him for our year end selection of songs for the new year.  I would only have added on other piece---Herdman, Hills, and Mangsen's recording At The Turning of The Year.

One last thing to note---which I will also post on http://www.billhahnprogramnotes.blogspot.com/  the previous page  along with some videos of a few perennials ---we have lost some people this year that, unfortunately, were not mentioned today---to my knowledge.   So---we mourn the loss of:

Tuli Kupferberg (The Fugs---amongst other things)
Irwin Silber (Founder- Sing Out)
Susan Reed
Kate McGarrigle

and as I usually say----

The  Famous Many Others.

Take a look and listen now to Kate McGarrigle:












As to my picks for my 10 favorite recordings---and as you saw above Ron's will be known by elimination (don't you hate the English language---sounds like I think his choices are only found after some ---well, you don't need the description) which are some that both of us might have chosen:

These are in no particular order---
Buskin & Batteu         Nouveau Retro
Kruger Bros.                Forever & A Day

Pete Seeger                  Tomorrow's Children  (He has to be the EverReady battery that keeps going and going)

Si Kahn                     Courage
John Prine                Live--On Stage
Toby Walker            Speechless
High Desert Band  
Mad Agnes                  Hush
Terri Hendrix            Cry Till You Laugh  (correction---should be "until"--I am pedantic)
Jack Williams            The High Road Home

&

ones that I would have liked to include had there been time---

Neptune's Car                     Strawberry Moon
Jeni & Billy                       Longing For Home

&

So many others in this bountiful year of wonderful musical talent which, as I always keep saying, one hopes become standards worthy of being perennial favorites---good music lives on.

Some old favorites today and some comments on the material.   Do not forget that next week we do the year end program and then on Jan. 1 we will -pre-empt ourselves so that we and WFDU can present the quarterly CAPITOL STEPS revue . That  is an exclusive in this area on Sunday Simcha and WFDU.  We thank them for the opportunity to bring this great topical humor---that we need in these times---to you.

Some faces now to put with the voices:


Since we have played and talked about the Jews of Uganda you will want to watch this video from one of our favorite performers on Sunday Simcha

Phil Ochs would have been 70 yrs of age on 12/19---much has been mentioned of the Lennon tragedy---and it was that---here is a remembrance of Phil for that day since I will not be on the air that day:
