The site is for information and comments about the artists, authors, and persons of interest that I have had the honor and privilege of welcoming to the 3 radio programs I host or have hosted on WFDU--TRADITIONS, SUNDAY SIMCHA, TABLETALK.
There is commentary on a weekly or bi-weekly basis on other topics that are, hopefully, of interest.
In addition you will find playlists on a seperate page---link is just below. In additon I have hosted a guest version of TRADITIONs on XM Radio.
If you checked the playlist page you were re-directed to come here to see some of the premiums that will be offered for SUNDAY SIMCHA during our fund-raising time in February---the only time in the year we come to you to ask for much needed support for the station and also to support the programming you want on the airwaves.
While we will have premiums for both programs---SUNDAY SIMCHA & TRADITIONS this posting will list only the ones for SUNDAY SIMCHA along with the guidelines for them:
1) A pledge of $36.00 receives a CD. Each additional $18.00 receives another until a total of 5 CDs is reached.
2) Every pledger over $10.00 receives a station bumper sticker---you supply your own bumper
3) You can call me on Sundays in February between 10-11 AM (202 692-2012) or you may e mail me at any time at sundaysimcha@yahoo.com. and include your name, address (mailing) phone #(in case of a problem). Also, your choice of premium.
Be assured that no information will be kept once the premiums and pledges are fulfilled.
==================================================================
The list of premiums for your information:
The quantities in all categories is limited but plentiful and at this time I want to thank the artists who have so generously supported the program with their gifts, their talent, and their hope that "Yiddishkeit" will be able to continue as it has for over30 years on WFDU---it really is part of making it the "Right Place On The Left Side Of The Dial" I realize that premiums/gifts are a nice thing but I am sure you realize the important thing is your support no matter what you feel you can afford----it is all appreciated and something that will be doing as "mitzvah" for us and also for yourself.
Let also urge you to click over to the playlists if you have not been there and see a wonderful clip of Bruce Adler and Mike Burstyn together in a few favorite numbers.
NOW---- TRADITIONS
I can only repeat what was said above about premiums/gifts and the pledging of what can be afforded and it is all appreciated. Sincerely. TRADITIONS, started by Ron Olesko some 30 years or so ago now and joined by yours truly some 16 years ago will also be hoping you find this kind of programming important in this world of homogenized programming up and down the dial except for that oasis on a Sunday afternoon where you can hear insightful commentary about meaningful music from meaningful musicians from two hosts ---one of which, apparently, likes alliteration.
Should you care to pledge via e mail you can e mail wfdutraditions@yahoo.com and now let me give you the premium schedule---a list will follow later--
$40 1 CD
80 3 CD
100 5 CD
All pledges over $10.00 will receive a bumper sticker (if you want it)---and as above---supply your own bumper and give me the car.
My thanks, again, to the artists that have supported us with their talent and generosity---too numerous to mention here but you will see it when the list is published----people we all know and love and are generously sharing their talent and support with you and us.
Emigrating from Austria in the late 1930s and arriving in the U S via U K (and Blitzkrieg) we settled in NY.
A lifelong love of "folk music" evolved after discovering The Weavers and later the politics, music, and thoughts of Phil Ochs.
Further bonding happened when the Sloop Singers appeared at one of my birthday fests. At this point I must make mention of my wife and her arranging that. Also changing my life and focus. After that I produced 5 yrs of benefit concerts featuring Tom Chapin.
A relationship with Ron Olesko ( of WFDU) came from that and years later I also came aboard the station and the program.
Some 20 yrs (at this writing) have elapsed and I now host 2 programs there--Sunday Simcha--Jewish Programming,and Traditions (with Ron Olesko).
So--we all come down in the place just right(as the Shaker Hymn tells us)--in this case WFDU-=-The right place on the left side of the dial.
