Now, does that heading not feel personal? I, once, jokingly said (well, more than once) on the air --"this is for our listener". I was chastised for that---you do need a sense of humor---I am sure there is more than one listener so, perhaps, I should have used the plural. That would encompass 2.
This will be short and sweet. Diabetics be warned.
Starting with all the sweetness I have to thank The Kennedys for a most amazing and heartfelt performance last week at the Orangeburg Library. I have never seen a more delighted audience and one that felt so enamored with the performers.
Since we are on the topic of performers; let me say that on 12/29 I will be hosting the year end TRADITIONS (WFDU 89.1 fm and streaming on the web at www.wfdu.fm and I will NOT be presenting any top 10 recordings for the year. I will, however, be presenting what I consider the most memorable recordings I have rcvd this year----could be more than 10 since there were a goodly number of them from some very talented artists---to whom I am only a humble conduit. We will also recall the folks that passed away this year in our genre. If you have any artists you think should be included in " the most memorable of this year" please do e mail me a request and a comment to wfdutraditions@yahoo.com
As the year is rapidly coming to an end---well, "rapidly" is the wrong word. It just seems that way. My delight to have attended some memorable moments with some memorable people---The Folksbiene Gala honoring Theodore Bikel (90 Bday coming up) and Fyvush Finkel, the wonderful and talented guests on my radio programs this year----Andy Revkin,The Levins, and ever so many more truly wonderful and talented artists---AND --stay tuned as I welcome David Buskin ( in a reunion with Modern Man) shortly and also Gathering Time to celebrate their newest release.
Finally, putting aside commentary of things I have read recently (items about the upcoming NYC mayor, my thoughts on the NSA and this nation, and ever so much more) let me just wish all a safe and not too cold winter to survive into the next year of things we can talk about---and listen to on that good ole crystal set
