PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA AUGUST 26, 2012

Your comments, requests, queries are always welcome via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com or via USPS to WFDU/Simcha 1000 River rd., Teaneck, NJ, 07666

My thanks for all the e mail comments regarding today's comedy corner---yes Lou Jacobi was one of a kind and Myron Cohen gave us humor from another era.  If you remember it---you, as I, are OLD.   A simpler time---perhaps but I don't think editorializing on that is germane since things do change.  But, one last thought;  humor should, besides being funny, make a point---Lenny Bruce did, Richard Pryor did, and ever so many more as distinct to today's joke jocks of junk.

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



Forget the slogans for THe Book of Morman and "a musical for the 21st Century" --This was one for the ages---and the cast (w/ Gilford and Mostel---amazing)

Any comments, queries, requests are always welcome via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com  or USPS to WFDU/Simcha 1000 River Rd., Teaneck, NJ 07666

I hope you will be joining the festivities this Sunday at Noontime in New City NY on the grounds of the Ambulance Corps. (and presented by the Borderline Folk Music Club) when we pay honor to Si Kahn.  He was a guest on Sunday Simcha and my other programs a while back.  This is a FREE concert---rain or shine.  Just bring some vittles for yourselves and your friends.

Today's Comedy Corner presented our most requested piece over the years.

Some faces to put with today's voices-------
Irving Fields--still performing nightly---age 95. Bless him and his genes.


This may give some insights into the piece played today---

Comments, queries, requests--kvetching is always welcome via e mail so sundaysimcha@yahoo.com or via USPS to WFDU/Simcha 1000 River Road Teaneck, NJ 07666

Si Kahn, as you know, has been a guest on the program and also on my other programs.  Not his real claim to well deserved fame (I don't know about fortune) but I do hope you will be in New City NY (Ambulance Corps. Grounds) on 8/26 as the Borderline Folk Music Club honors him in this all afternoon FREE event where he will perform, lead some singing, and be joined by a bevy wonderful performers doing his and their music.   I have the distinct honor of introducing Si--not that he really needs any introduction. Another item---Josh Joffen will be there---go over and say hello---also Mara Levine---check out her music and her jewelry.
