Your comments, queries, requests are always welcome via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com  or USPS to WFDU/ Bill Hahn 1000 River Rd. Teaneck, NJ   07666.

My thanks for the nice notes regarding the "tribute" portion of the program today.  Both Dave Carter and Harry Chapin, given their immense talents and meaningful music (among other things), should always be recalled.

Some faces for today's voices----




Harry Chapin stories are many and all are touching. He was that kind of a person. If you want to share one just post it here and I shall, if you desire, pass it on or read it on the air

Your comments, queries, and requests are always welcome via e mail to mailto:sundaysimcha@yahoo.comor via USPS to WFDU/Simcha 1000 River Rd. Teaneck, NJ  07666

Thanks to your e mails I was able to honor the request for the Denmark 1943 selection and I am delighted to have been able to feature an old friend----Robin Greenstein doing her Jewish music.

Next week's program---if you do not realize it---will be an encore presentation (polite way of saying a repeat of an old favorite) ---summertime doldrums you know.  So, enjoy the program but pay not attention to the events mentioned.

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



And do not forget to keep your eye out for this film. The film maker will be with me on the program when it comes to this area.

PLAYLIST TRADITIONS JULY 8, 2012

Your comments, queries, and requests are always welcome via e mail to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com  or via USPS to WFDU/Bill Hahn 1000 River Rd., Teaneck, NJ 07666

I congratulate our ticket winner for the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and wish all of you attending a wonderful and enjoyable musical weekend.   

Let me offer a few musical suggestions to you----the new material that you see on the playlist are truly items you should have in your own library.  Given today's new formats---downloads, etc; I still believe having a physical recording in your hands that has a reason for being is better than these random downloads.  Certainly many of the recordings come with, not only, liner notes but, some, with booklets of historical significance.   Anything from Appleseed or Smithsonian Folkways is, to  me, a must.

Some faces now to put with today's voices:
You may recognize Glen as part of Gathering Time---and here he is with Penny at her camp for musicians.



This is the one that I cannot play on the air----enjoy Kinky and his valid points.
