Tayere friends of Yiddishkayt,
We want to remind you to tune in to KCRW tomorrow,
December 15th, for Philosophers, Fiddlers &
Fools: A Farewell. Listen to the final
broadcast of Ruth Seymour’s
28-year annual tribute to Yiddishkayt from 12pm to 3 pm
on 89.9 fm (incorrect times were given in the
previous YidBits).
If you're stuck in the office, or
you're not near a radio, turn on your computer and
listen live online at www.kcrw.com, or you
can go
back to the archives for later listening.
And if Hanukkah puts you in the mood for some
progressive punk rock, then check out the Jewish
Punk Rock Hanukkah Tour in Pomona at the Tiki
Room on December 21st and at the Workmen's Circle in
LA on Friday, December 22nd. The show begins at 8pm
with Yidcore, “the original Aussie Jewish
punk pranksters,” Jewdriver, the satirical
send-up of neo-nazi band Screwdriver, and The
Zydepunks, “New Orleans Cajun Irish Breton
Klezmer Slavic Zydeco punk," along with screenings
of documentary films Jericho's Echo and
Tattoo Jews. For more information visit the
website for the tour at www.hanukkahtour.com,
where you can also link to samples of the band's music.
Happy Khanike!
