Sadly, as you know, I did not bring my "Gregger". But I made noise just the same and I hope you did for the most joyous holiday in the Jewish Calendar. Hopefully you also find it that---though I, personally, can think of other events that are even happier and, yet, they are commemorated in a more serious vein. Myself included because of the tradition in news gathering and also on radio/TV presentations.
If you ever are able to see a work by Elizabeth Swados www.lizswados.com it is something not to be missed. From Dispatches, Haggadah to Runaways and all the stops in between.
I had the honor and joy of interviewing her at her home a number of years ago and also having seen all her productions. An aside--that interview was the start of my Tabletalk program.
Hopefully you enjoyed the Purim selections, the music and the humor. So---spin your "gregger" once again and read the playlist that follows:
