PLAYLIST TRADITIONS APRIL 14, 2013

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

My thanks for some lovely notes about our Tom Lehrer Bday commemoration as well as some requests for next time for one of the new artists we played---Cal Scott.  Agreed, he is really wonderful.  

On another note now---you probably have heard of the new piece by Brad Paisley about "The Accidental Racist".  Not my idea of a good song but there is one I have hesitated to play---AND--you will not hear it on mainstream media (not even on the left side of the dial).  Grant Peeples piece---Nigger Lover.  Do not let the title fool you---it is a terrific piece of work and I suggest you go to his website to find out more about it(and listen to it)---or request it for TRADITIONS.  If I get enough of them---say 12 (even dozen) I will take the bull by the horns and play it.

Now for some comments about today's artists that seemed, to me, quite outstanding in the "new" category----Cal Scott,  Zoe Mulford, Lauren Sheehan, and Dan Berggren.

It is hoped that some of you attended the re-scheduled Metropolitan Klezmer Concert in Bklyn. this day and, also, that our ticket winners were there and enjoyed the concert.

As you know, if you were tuned in, we commemorated Yom Hashoah this day.  You can still hear it at www.wfdu.fm where it is archived for 2 weeks.

PLAYLIST TRADITIONS MARCH 31, 2013

Your comments, queries, requests are always appreciated via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com  (make sure it is Yahoo.com) or via USPS to WFDU/Bill Hahn 1000 River Road Teaneck, NJ  07666.

Congratulations to our winner of the Mary Gauthier CD---he had sent it to another address but, finally, it did get to the Yahoo address.

Why not go over to Facebook and like our page  wfdu sunday simcha/ traditions.   Let's get that number over 95.

Glad you stuck around due to the glitch at the start---all you missed was Simple Gifts---that should not have happened since putting the program on the air (recorded it was) is "simple".   It was the start of our brief Easter commemoration but, after about 3 minutes, it was resurrected---pun intended.
