PLAYLIST TRADITIONS MARCH 18, 2012

Any comments, queries, requests are always welcome via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com  or USPS to WFDU/Bill Hahn PO Box 147 Orangeburg NY  10962

As mentioned on the air today there was a particular piece that better judgement persuaded me not to play on the air--BUT---you can see it if you stay on this website and click on the red lettering about the "main page" on the right side.   Better Judgement is my  law firm---and, as David Buskin has told me,  we have outgrown better judgement.   In any case it is funny and has equal opportunity skewering of all (many) ethnicities and faiths---what else would you expect from those lads.

Our time together (as Carol Burnett might have said) today was truly filled with much new material ---BUT---we never do want to not hear some of, what has become traditional on Traditions---and, of course, the features.

Check the archives at http://www.wfdu.fm/ for the next 2 weeks if you want to hear any of this again---or use it as evidence in any future litigation.

Some faces to put with today's voices-----And some descriptive comments below for some songs that might be of interest---playlists cannot really communicate things if you have not heard them or the commentary.



Yes---it is an older performance by Peggy Seeger---BUT--like wine if you heard the new recording on today's program---I say no more---
