PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA DECEMBER 4, 2011

Your comments, queries, requests are always welcome via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com  and by USPS (you have to help them keep the only profitable piece of them alive---1st class mail) to WFDU/Sunday Simcha 1000 River Rd. Teaneck  NJ  07666.   You will be the one item they deliver that is not "junk" mail.

A bit of a nostalgia trip this week.  Next week some requests and a reminder of a great new show in NYC that I urge you to attend.   THEN---we will have our Hannukah---however you want to spell it----the following week.  Funny, Traditional, and, mostly, topical in keeping with the time of year---and I am still trying to figure out how to make the gas in my car last 8 days and good old Mr. Maccabeus is not around for me to ask.

Face(s) now to put with today's voices:
