THANKSGIVING ON TRADITIONS

Lots to  be thankful for and not the least of which having some great talents that grace this program often---SUNDAY 11.28/10 is no exception when Si Kahn joins Bill Hahn for some great music and conversation.

Given that Si has over 16 CDs to his credit (one of which is THANKSGIVING), and his latest is #1 on the FolkDJ charts, he is the perfect guest for this holiday weekend.  We will be playing music from his CDs,  having an interesting conversation about his wide ranging activities---community organizing, book author, musical show writer, and anything else that comes into our minds---including some humor.

SO--a bit of a precursor of the program::


See you SUNDAY---November 28 for the Holiday Weekend---and on the web at www.wfdu.fm
