PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA JUNE 13, 2010

Any comments, queries, requests, and general kvetching ( a very high rank) is always welcome via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

Thanks to all the honored pledges---now 100% --- a record for any radio program on any station.  The last of our premiums went out today and my sincere thanks for all of you who have so wonderfully supported this program and if you really want a bumper sticker that says "Keeping Yiddishkeit On The Air---WFDU" let me know and I will speak to our management about it.

It is my hope that none of you miss the wonderful show starring Mike Burstyn at The Baruch Performing Arts Center in NYC under the auspices of The National Yiddishe Theater.  The show ends when June ends so best to go to folksbiene.org and find out about tickets.
