Playlist Traditions September 16, 2012

Any comments, queries, requests, etc; are always welcome via e mail wfdutraditions@yahoo.com  or via USPS to WFDU/Bill Hahn  1000 Rivver Rd. Teaneck, NJ  07666

My apologies for the change in format this week on the web page---technical issues hard for a Luddite to resolve.   I hope you enjoyed the show and, particularly, in the new material part, Coty Hogue , Gathering Time, and David Bernz---and that entire CD from his great friend---Pete Seeger.

The next time I am on---Sept. 30---you will find a real surprise from a guest of ours a while back---Philip Bimstein---he of Zion Canyon Song Cycle---totally different and appropo of today's events.  Stay tuned.

Some faces to put with today's voices----

Your comments, queries, requests, and all else is always welcome via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com or via USPS to WFDU/Simcha 1000 River Rd. Teaneck, NJ  07666

I do hope you enjoyed and appreciated the new material from Sandy Cash.  Hopefully, she will be on the program the next time she returns to these shores.  The requests for Comedy Corner were honored---and John, in Nutley, you should live and be well---and keep enjoying humor.

Some faces to put with the voices today---



Probably the right piece to put up for Wolf given that 9.11 is almost upon us---and we shall not forget---nor December 7---

Your comments, queries, and requests are always welcome via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com  or via USPS to WFDU/Bill H 1000 River Rd. Teaneck, NJ  07666

 I do hope you will check the archives at www.wfdu.fm if you missed any of today's program since the new material was, I felt, truly noteworthy and the features and topics were apt for this weekend.   I also felt that some of the work from a few years back is always good to hear once again---David Buskin's recording is a perfect example of something we should not forget.
