PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA AUGUST 1, 2010

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

Hopefully we will soon be able to present Michael Ingram's finished "work in progress" soon and also get more Comedy Corner requests as we did this week.

One comment re: the Maxwell Klezmer Band piece about the Hupe---nothing to do with Chelsea Clinton---I promise.  I was on either "A" list so they are not on mine.

A few faces to put with today's voices:

In this case a much earlier face so you get 2 icons for the price of one.

PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA JUlY 18, 2010

Comments, queries, requests and general kvetching is always welcome via e mail to sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

For the observant of you (not in the religious sense) you will have noticed that today's program was an "encore" aka "re-run" of a program from approx. 3 years ago.   Hot summer days and lack of time this week precluded a new program---a new ones will be there next week---with a few surprises.   It is hoped you did not call for tickets for the December concerts that were announced---they were well attended.

A few pictures to put the some of the voices this week:
