As Monty Python Said---Something Completely Different

I was not on Traditions today and you have seen the Playlist for Sunday Simcha---now, since this site seems to get more visitors than the Blogspot page (for shame on you all) I thought that this might be something you would appreciate since I am hoping that you love wit, Gilbert & Sullivan, and word play as much as I do.




Make sure you are tuned in next week:

TRADITIONS---Zoe Mulford joins me
SUNDAY SIMCHA--Extended Comedy Corner with The Capitol Steps.

An update---1)  Next week we extend Comedy Corner for 30 minutes with the exclusive presentation of the quarterly ( in this area) topical material from THE CAPITOL STEPS
                     2)  A reminder about the Fyvish Finkel Revue at the Baruch PAC.  It runs until 11/7---DO NOT MISS THIS.  Your loss if you do---a delight.  Mention this program and a discount may be had---only via tel. to 646 312- 5073---and mention that they should contact Zalmen Mlotek
                     
A few faces to put with today's voices: 


Truly a Cohen story not to be missed for your pleasre.

.  Cohen died in 1986 and is buried---or is it resting--permanently--at Cedar Park Cemetary in Paramus NJ.  He has many good neighbors I know but doubt they are communicating.
