PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA MARCH 8, 2009

Some requests honored and a nice compliment from one of my guests today on TRADITIONS--James O'Malley. He said he was driving up to this area and was splitting his sides laughing at the Lou Jacobi stories and my take on the parting of the Red Sea. Well, not my take, it was from the book--Born To Kvetch.

Now for a few pictures to put with the voices you heard:

LOU JACOBI (AGE NOW 95---Kine Hora)

JACQUELINE DUPRE

Subject of the film Hilary and Jackie. Sadly---passed away from MS in her early 40s and her music on this program ws to commemorate the women's orchestra at Birkenau concentration camp. She had nothing to do with it but the music did. The orchestra, as you know will be celebrated on March 28 at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Once again my ---and Ron's-- great thanks for the support you have shown the program and the artists we present---old and new. Thanks also for all the kind words today about today's program and the wonderful conversation with Tom Paxton---do follow my suggestion about visiting his website and offering kind thoughts for his wife.

One more item---a correction. Buskin and Batteau join me on March 22 for some live music in the studio and James O'Malley is on with me for that on March 8. I mentioned it correctly but it was incorrect on the Program Notes web page---now corrected.

PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA FEBRUARY 22, 2009

We start with great thanks to those of you who pledged to keep "Yiddishkeit" on the air and also for the lovely notes I have rcvd. Seems we may have to make this the Allan Sherman Corner---though Mickey Katz is a contender--oich---he could'a bin a contendah.

Some of you wrote love notes and I know that in these hard economic times it may well be hard to donate so your kind words are certainly welcome. Mike Burstyn, in his interesting interview, made a good point--Lansky was a mobster but he cared for the Jewish People and Madoff just bilked them and others.

If you have any requests just e mail them to sundaysimcha@yahooo.com and if you know any artists that would want to be played on the program have them contact me.

PLAYLIST TRADITIONS FEBRUARY 8, 2009

Once again myriad thanks to all of you who have supported the program during our annual fund-raising efforts. Thanks also to the first time pledgers---and I thank Tom who I met while joining my dear friend Jerry Treacy. Gratitude, of course, to all our regular listeners who have so generously supported our humble efforts over all these years---as an aside I offer my thanks for the great lead-in Rich Sibello offers us from his program and who I have the pleasure, every other week, of sitting in on for a few minutes for some banter and he with me. Rich seems to own every recording known to mankind and even some that were first scratched onto cave walls and then hummed---you know we should have a picture of Rich as we do of the artists we feature on Traditions:










And since we are on WFDU personalities why not a picture of Jerry Treacy who I had the pleasure of joining on his program this past Saturday and where --if you were listening--you heard my touching tale of Jerry's caring and sensitive side aside from his knowledge of Americana Music.

Last but certainly not least compliments to my co-host Ron Olesko who started TRADITIONS way back in the cave writing days of 1980 and has allowed it to evolve into these days of new media.

Thanks to you, our listeners, we shall be able to keep up what you have come to expect from WFDU and from us---an eclectic mix that can include Blues, Bluegrass, Folk---and let us not forget the ever popular (to me) "story songs" and as always---"...the thrills of the hills, the best in the west, and the tops in pops".
