TABLETALK program for the week of August 25, 2017`

I do believe a topical, nostalgic, and pointed show this wek that will introduce you a few new artists and have you enjoy some old favorites.

On a personal note let  me add this thought---Having done this for over 20 + years (under various titles)  it is a delight to do it here w/ no time constraints and disloyal people, frankly, passing on to the  disloyal  new mgmt.issues that====OK ,yes my ex- co host ==were meant for me --he(who asserts a love for free speech and non-censorship) forwarded to them.   Talk about "shit hitting the fan".   It did.   Shortly  thereafter I resigned and now you can enjoy, hopefully you do. the same program I did (programs) on WFDU (Traditions, Sunday Simcha, Tabletalk).   This program is a blend (amalgam) of all----but, mostly TRADITIONS---so, thanks and, finally, no thanks to Ron Olesko for continuing w/  his long running and (having the experience now) hypocritical and less than clever(on topical matters) program.

TABLETALK WEEK OF 8/11/17

A day late and many dollars short but it is  here in this fairly awful and tragic week which we evince in a musical way. 

Additionally, a concert mention about a wonderful new performer(s) soon to appear at the Minstrel.

Lastly---keep in mind the wonderful annual FREE concert in Rockland County by the Borderline Folk group----so sorry I cannot attend this year.  The date is August 27 at 12 noon---a brilliant tribute to LEONARD COHEN---and a great finale w/ many of you favorite artists

Tobpical Topics For Today

Knowing that recently I have always posted my weekly TABLETALK program her I though it a cood idea to post a more topical thought today.   Comments, as always, welcome.\

To be as brief as possible.   Donald Trump (explectives and snide comments) deleted.   N. Korea and his response.   I am certain that you remember a time of diplomacy (Kennedys/Cuba, etc)  ad now we have a ego maniacal Pres. who males all things personal and  troubles---dare I say, fragile libido.  

The fact is that it is not personal an diplomacy (something he knows not of---unlike all who came before      (thankfully).

My take is that N. Korea's leader is aiming for something (I know not) and has more insight than the simplistic person now serving as (sadly) Pres.  We have the school bully w/ the big mouth  as opposed to the giants we had----DDE,Marshall, HST,  and more

Honestly, we can only hope that the mouth DT keeps shooting off does not cost millions of innocent lives cares not a whit about---as he cared not for the tenants i his bldgs.
