Hi everybody!! Another great regular show is up on the net for you to enjoy. But before that I wanted to mention another great website that I mentioned on the air and I said I would put it in the blog. I am sure if you are regular listeners to the show you will no doubt be familiar with the great Cantor Leibele Waldman (1907-1969). He was the only Cantor of the “Golden Age” to be born in America and he really used the expanding American media very well. He made countless recordings, appeared constantly on the radio and in films. Now his son, Cantor Harvey Waldman has created a website about his father. It has great information and rare videos and recordings. It can be accessed at leibelewaldman.blogspot.com. Check it out. I think you will like it!!
Now here is the playlist for this week’s show:
