SUNDAY SIMCHA PLAYLIST APRIL 29, 2007

Any comments, questions, or requests please e mail sundaysimcha@yahoo.com

Comedy Corner was an encore due to many requests over the past few months--probably the most classic one we have presented. Also a comment or two (by me) about one person that you will never hear on this program. If you were tuned in then you know that person is Jackie Mason for reasons stated in the broadcast.

Deborah Holland was my guest on Traditions today. Some 6 or 7 years since she was last in the studio with us and some years of important happenings in her life. A wonderful visit with a multi faceted artist, professor, and mother. What more can be said that we did not cover on today's program.

Well, one thing. The comments we said we did not want to make on the air---so, now we we are off air and you should not be left out of our off mic conversation.

We spoke of Larry King as it related to her song. I told her the great line that was used on the NPR radio program Wait Wait Don't Tell Me about him---"...you know Larry King's toughest interview was Malcolm X. He finally got him to say he was Black---King had been hedging the issue."

The other from the same show was: "Don Ho died this week---that was not his real name. Don Imus called him that".

On a personal note let me just say what a delight it was to have Deborah in the studio and, hopefully, it came across the way we intended----just folks visiting.

The show concludes with a trip that the famous train The Southern Crescent might have made and then a rare piece from the Hallelujah Singers of Hilton Head Island from the Gullah tradition.

Also remember that today is Earth Day and so Pete Seeger has, as always, something for us.

One piece that was supposed to be played for Yom Hashoah that was not aired because of time constraints was aired today. A most moving piece by Curtis and Loretta.

Another featured artist was the well known and respected personality Mare Winningham. A recent convert to Judaism (Conservative) who has written music to commemorate that and published a CD with this work.

Next week, if you tune in, you will find a few comments about Comedy Corner and of one person that will never be aired in that segment---or any other. Given the crassness of so many people polluting the airwaves and having finally been called on it (perhaps for the wrong reasons by the wrong people) and the news being made by such tastelessness and intolerance it just seems appropriate to keep this program---and this station ---WFDU---above such boorishness. It offends civility. It may well not be an FCC issue and, rightfully, should not. Some people and some stations have to uphold some standards of civility. WFDU and its program I think are that safe harbor and will continue to be so.

Tune in next week to find out the well deserving recipient of my fickle finger of fate award for never to be aired on this program. Hint: Author, alleged comic, former Rabbi, and, now, over the top you tube presenter.

Today's program started with the commemoration of the two holidays that are upon us at the same time and it is good that we are able to celebrate the Judeo/Christian faith and ethic today. One piece I always play on this day is the wonderful Addis and Crofut piece.

You will also find that today we had an interesting mix of some themes---from age and wisdom to the merging of "folk" and Broadway via Sea music.

One last thing of real interest are the pieces by Mare Winningham. Her new CD celebrates her conversion to Judaism. Whether she is serious in this or not I have to say the music she wrote is damned good.

A last comment regarding Curtis and Loretta. That can surely be considered the feature today. Their range of material is amazing.

On the left Curtis and Loretta and on the right Mike Burstyn.

Besides our regular features these were featured today. Mike Burstyn has been on the program live and recorded before and is a man of so many talents it is always nice to show his various sides. We did that today.

Curtis and Loretta are a new discovery to this program---and will also be on TRADITIONS since they encompass so many genres of music. Traditional American, Jewish, topical material, and much more. Their story is an interesting one and if you check their web site by clicking on the link above you will find out more but suffice it to say here they met under interesting circumstances, have appeared with the major people on Prairie Home Companion, and have toured quite widely. They bring a wonderful feeling of warmth and connection with their audiences in their appearances.

Our Passover program for 2006.

A presentation that was, hopefully, found meaningful, interesting, entertaining and captured the common human condition through the ages as brought forward by our guests--Rabbi Jonathan Kligler and Kim & Reggie Harris.

On a personal note I want to thank them profusely for devoting this time and energy to a program that they felt was something that meant a lot to them in spreading the "communality", if you will, at this season.

Toward the end you will see a piece by Joy Katzen Guthrie. No Seder is complete without that piece. A great rhythmic piece and she captures it wonderfully.
