PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA JANUARY 30, 2011

Any comments, requests, queries are always welcome via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

A Correction---on today's program I spoke of Yaphet Kotto's family being from Uganda (he was born in NYC) but, in fact, his family was from an Orthodox family (and heirs to the throne) in Cameroon.

My thanks for the nice comments and Facebook postings about today's program.  Let me also throw out a request for one of the mainstays of our program---Susan Colin. Should anyone know of a Shul that needs a Cantor (substitute, alternate, or whatever term is used) for this year's High Holy Days please contact me so I can pass the information on to this brilliant and most musical artist---and Cantor.

For the next 3 weeks we will forego---I believe, at this point,--- the playlists due to the annual fund raising efforts for WFDU---the only station keeping YIDDISHKEIT ON THE AIR.   Your help is needed---call (I will be in live to talk with you), e mail--you know the address--or go to the http://www.wfdu.fm/ and follow the prompts.  We need your help to keep us on and you need your help because commercial free stations rely on listeners---and who else but you will keep that slogan valid (above)---no one but WFDU as long as they know it is viable.

A spelling comment---all  spelling in the playlist is from the liner notes from the artists.  I know some seem unusual.

PLAYLIST TRADITIONS JANUARY 23, 2011

Comments, queries, requests are always welcome via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com

Glad you joined us yesterday---and you can still tune in on the archives at http://www.wfdu.fm/ .   It was a delight to be able to have Richard Berman join us today.  You will note that the last piece is listed as Steve Chapin even though on air I said---Harry Chapin.  I did some research  since it just did not sound like him and the liner notes made no mention of the fact that Steve Chapin was the vocalist on that track---it did however credit his writing of that piece.

Comments, queries, requests are always welcome via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com

We started the program with  a commemoration of Kate McGarrigle and then some musical (and verbal thoughts) on the tragic events and the possible causes in Arizona.   Some newer music along with  the new and old features rounded out the program.  

My  thanks to all the people who called with kind words about the program and also the updates on the Phil Ochs  documentary----which has now been extended at the IFC in NYC.
