PLAYLIST SUNDAY SIMCHA NOVEMBER 8, 2009

Any comments, queries, requests and any kvetching please e mail sundaysimcha@yahoo.com


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.

You are aware, if you were tuned in, that Michael Oren, Israel's current ambassador to the U S, was my guest on TABLETALK some time back and I felt that since he current appointment it would be proper to present our conversation on this program. It is hoped that you found him as fascinating and interesting as I did. If you missed the program or have some friends or relatives who would like to hear this the show will be archived for 2 weeks at http://www.wfdu.fm/
