Random Ramblings Once Again

My first comment is to offer thanks to all of you who posted those nice and complimentary comments about the July 6 TRADITIONS program.   I do realize the sound quality of Hour 1 was a bit off but that is the joy of recording at a live festival---and I do hope that the people in the background got the food they were searching for.  Still, the performers were the main  thing and I do believe that they were wonderful and well received by an appreciative audience.

Now for a few personal items.   The coming  Sunday (7/13) will be a new program BUT with a requested Comedy Corner featuring my interview with the author of "Overweight Sensation--Allan Sherman".  Please join me for this interesting interview about our most requested artist.

On the personal comments I have to add that on the 7/20 edition of TRADITIONS I will be making it a bit of a personal show---albeit with some new material.    It is now 20 years (cannot believe it) that I have been joining you on these alternate Sundays.   I am having a few life changes now with regard to living quarters and I thought we might reminisce a bit about where I am now,  where I am going (still doing the program---like it or not) and recalling some of the artists I had on with me in those early days.   If you recall who some of the were I would appreciate  your input, requests, and comments.   I know that Kate Campbell is up there along with Mary Gauthier---who were your favorites?

One last thought.  The Hudson River.  Sadly, I will be leaving that most beloved (by me) area.  If you have a nice picture of the river that I might enlarge and frame please do send it to me.   wfdutraditions@yahoo.com 

Thanks for listening---or joining me all these many years and, hopefully, all the years to come.

PLAYLISTS FOR TRADITIONS & SUNDAY SIMCHA ON JULY 6,2014

This will cover the playlists for both programs since SUNDAY SIMCHA had its semi annual extended Comedy Corner with the exclusive airing in this area of THE CAPITOL STEPS.  This is exclusive to this area and if you want it discontinued---or continued (it was quite difficult for me to make these arrangements) let me know via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com   You may also use this address for requests, comments, and whatever else is on you mind=---including submitting material for air-play

Now, to TRADITIONS.    Your comments and queries as well as requests are always welcome via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com   Please do make sure you use that address to preclude some problems of a few weeks back from an irate listener who, in fact, wrote a very proper critical note that was misconstrued and was overly reacted to by the powers that be.

Some faces to put w/ today's voices---some of which were recorded live at the Bergen Rockland Music Festival in Tappan NY
