PLAYLIST TRADITIONS DECEMBER 8. 2013

Your comments, queries, requests, and all else are always welcome via email to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com.     .
You may also write to us at WFDU/Traditions/Bill Hahn   1000 River Rd. Teaneck NJ 07666  for those who still care to use paper and, what, quill pens or their successors.   Anyone recall when ball point pens came out and were a modern miracle---and expensive?

Hope you enjoyed the new material today and also the reminiscence w/Dave Van Ronk to put the film into perspective---hopefully.  Let me know via e mail if you will.   In addition I will add that this afternoon I was pre-recorded so that I was able to spend the afternoon listening to and introducing a most amazing duo---THE KENNEDYS.  They know how to truly hold an audience with their great talent.

Some faces to put with today's voices---

My hopes that today's program was enjoyable and that our Comedy Corner made some points.

Some faces to put with today's voices---



Frankly, Sam Levenson always laughed on his own punchlines---truly annoying. This clip shows him in a mode I never saw him on and it shows the different levels of talent---nuff said there---BUT---did you ever hear of Earl Humphries again?   Even Carson should not have made recommendations and Sam Levenson and his program are long forgotten---except here on SUNDAY SIMCHA---with commentary

I dedicated today's program to one of our loyal listeners and supporters  with condolences on the loss of a loved member of his family.

One other interesting comment before the playlist---I was approached my a gentleman a few days ago who, for some reason, recognized my voice and wanted to tell me how much he enjoys the program.  I am flattered.  He added how happy he was to have, through this program, to have discovered the program after us---The Vintage Rock & Pop Shop (Ghosty).   I thank him for that and urge you to tune in there---I am sure you will love it and him as I do.

Some faces now to put with today's voices-=-

Not to be missed---if you heard my intro about NPR/Disney That is what freeform radio is about---the truth and the other side of the coverage.
We shall miss her wonderful talent and idealism
