In two weeks Elaini Newport of The Capitol Steps will be joining me for a brief---under 30 minutes--segment as will Buskin and Batteau. I hope today's guest was as appreciated by you as he was by yours truly.

I have to single out the new John McCutcheon work as extraordinary and something you will want to listen to in its entirety. I know I did.

Some faces now to put with the voices:

Don't forget that the show is archived for two weeks at http://www.wfdu.fm/ if you or anyone you know might have missed it. Not to forget, as well, is Theodore Bikel's newest work which opens in previews this evening at the Baruch Auditorium of CUNY on 25th St. and Lexington Ave., NYC.


We ended, as you will recall, the program with Lou Jacobi---he passed away at age 95 on October 23. He was at an assisted living facility on The Bronx. A long and wonderful career that included stage (Don't Drink The Water, The Tenth Man, and more;), Film (Avalon, My Favorite Year, and many more), Television (The Man From U N C L E, Playhouse 90, The Dean Martin Show---and many more) , Commercials (too numerous to name), Recordings. For those who like trivia---his given name was Louis Harol Jacobovitch.

He will live on in fond memory and, certainly, on SUNDAY SIMCHA.

Only one picture today----LOU JACOBI. He had a brilliant and long career. Rest In Peace.

Congratulations to all the winners of CDs and tickets for The Guggenheim exhibits. Thanks also to those of you who called and mentioned my 1 year anniversary of my surgery---and glad to see me back at the ---as Henry Morgan used to say---"...the old stand".

It is my delight to have been able to arrange for the exclusive airing in our area of the quarterly Capitol Steps programs---Politics Takes A Holiday (this being the Halloween edition). My own take on it is that with is at the heart of the Jewish sould and this is a perfect complement for that. Your thoughts would be more than welcome.

A delight to welcome Jonathan Edwards to the program and, hopefully, you will see him at Mexicali Blues in Teaneck NJ on 11/6. Some upcoming guests will be Buskin & Batteau, Return To The Dream, Theodore Bikel, and more. Stay tuned.


If the winner of the tickets for the Guggenheim reads this please call 201 692-2806 and find out what has to be done to receive your tickets for the exhibition. There will be another pair on November 1. These are a gift from The Guggenheim Museum on the occasion of their 50th Anniversary and featuring a very special exhibit---Kandinsky.


My thanks for all the calls and comments on this program and, certainly, on the set of musicians of "a certain age.
