PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA OCTOBER 23, 2011

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

For those with keen observational senses will realize that this was an encore presentation since we were still close to Simchas Torah and this seemed like the right show to play once again given that a busy schedule precluded a new program this week.   The play list is below on the 10/16 date.

This coming Sunday we have a very special program prepared---Besides a first half of some really interesting and enjoyable music in the Yiddishkeit mode we follow with an extended Comedy Corner for the second half that will be by the Capitol Steps in their quarterly review----POLITICS TAKES A HOLIDAY.  It is being presented exclusively on this program in the NY NJ area.   I hope you will be joining us---we all need a good laugh in these times---at all times.

Another voice to put with the playlist of today (which can be seen on the earlier post)
