PLAYLIST TRADITIONS NOVEMBER 25, 2012

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

A brief comment or two about some of the items on the list.  Admittedly, you do not get the import of many without the intros but let me just mention a few true standouts in the new music department---Kim/Reggie Harris,  Anne Hills,  and Debra Cowan.   You will, if you listened to the program, know why Loudon Wainwright started the show----a fellow cynic who can sing well about relationships.   Some thematic material, as always, in the mix and if you ever have question about the intent or content just zip off an e-mail---not your fly,,, Please

One last thought.   Great story behind the "story song" for today---you can hear this show archived for 2 weeks at www.wfdu.fm .   The explanation is there in the intro.

A reminder about THE GOLDEN LAND.   Having seen the show I can only pass on my rave review of it to you and hope you do not miss this.   It runs through December 2 so best to get there quickly---go to www.folksbiene.org  to find out more and also to order tickets.   The show is at Baruch Ctr for Performing Arts (25th St / Lexington Ave.)---and no there is  no more Lexington Ave. Express---just an inside joke for those who are devotees of Comedy Corner.

Today, as you know we spent some time with the person who says goodbye to you each Sunday---Andy Kaufman (he never knew that he would say goodbye on this show---could have been  the highlight of his short and productive life)

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






NOW---back to our usual programming---this brilliant group we heard today. Not to lessen the amazing talent of the late Andy Kaufman---I hope you enjoyed him as much as I did.

PLAYLIST TRADITIONS NOVEMBER 11,2012

Today's program was originally scheduled to air on 11/4 but this gal name Sally got in the way. But we are back and I do hope you are as well. So many people suffering so much more than the loss of some radio programming and they are to be sympathized with. Hopefully they will soon once again be back to the NEW normal. That said; I salute Gov. Christie for his quick response and command in this situation (and bipartisanship--leaving politics out), Gov. Cuomo for his great effort and also, from what I hear, FEMA as opposed to the Bush era FEMA.


If you checked the SUNDAY SIMCHA posting below you will know about Kristalnacht all else is explained on this playlist for TRADITIONS.  My fedora flip to to those wonderful new artists we were able to present this week and, believe me, in 2 weeks there is a whole bevy of more that were held up due to storm related issues---including Anne Hills (re Tom Paxton), Kim & Reggie Harris, Iris Dement, and more.  Stay tuned.   Today, however, some real winners at the start of the program---you will spot them.   Then, of course, our features and also a, hopefully, meaningful commemoration of Veteran's Day---formerly Armistice Day.  It should be called Memorial Day, in my opinion.

NOW--Sunday Simcha---your comments, requests and whatever kvetching you want to share are always welcome at sundaysimch@yahoo.com or via USPS to PO Box 147  Orangeburg, NY  10962.

One comment about today's program.   As you know Nov. 9 was the sad anniversary of Kristalnacht and since this was recorded on 11/4 it was not commemorated here this year.  It was, however, commemorated on TRADITIONS this day so I hope you might have been tuned in.   I also hope you will be able to go to see THE GOLDEN LAND since it is truly a magical moment and I thank, again, Zalman Mlotek for joining us a few weeks back to speak of it.

PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA & TRADITIONS NOVEMBER 4, 2012

My apologies for this week when we were off the air due to the weather situation and last week when we were on the air but I was not able to post the playlists for both programs due to power outages caused by the storm---which will certainly open my program (Traditions) on 11/11/  12.   That said, I hope you are all safe and have your need met---powerwise and otherwise.  

Playlists will resume on 11/11/12
