OUR FIRST GIFT TO YOU FOR 5774 - MICKEY HART, CRYSTAL MONEE HALL AND JONATHON LIPSIN

SHANA TOVA U'METUKA - HAPPY 5774, EVERYBODY!

 "Today is the birthday of the World..."

At RFN, we're like Hobbits with the minhag of birthdays - we think they call for presents to be distributed!

L'kavod the New Year, "The birthday of the world," we'd like to present  Radio Free Nachlaot's first gift to you for the Year 5774 - a link to the folder containing RFN's entire "Sunday Night Live" Show from August 25th, featuring Steve and Lorelai's review of the Mickey Hart Band's performance in Jerusalem on Aug 22nd, as well as our exclusive interviews with Mickey Hart, Crystal Monee Hall and Incredible Records Founder Jonathon Lipsin 

The show has been broken up into small bite size pieces for your listening convenience and pleasure - a total of 8 separate MP3 recordings in this file folder, in order of how they aired on the show - enjoy them! With love from us at RFN to y'all. https://app.box.com/s/on3spqiv177y5hmkih0v

Shana Tova u'Metuka - Rosh HaShanna 5774 - AND We're Off The Air for 3 Days!!!

Rosh HaShannah, the "head" ("rosh") of the year, ushers in the Jewish New Year of 5774, beginning at Sundown on Wednesday - and is a 2-day holiday (actually it's "one long day" that lasts a full 48 hours, but that's another theological story)!

 Immediately after Rosh HaShanna, Shabbat begins - which means that Radio Free Nachlaot's overheated and overworked broadcasting units will get three whole days of uninterrupted rest! That's great news for our processors, B"H.

We want to wish all our RFN friends, fans and family a Shana Tova u'Metuka, a sweet and happy New Year, may we all be written in the Book of Life for health, abundance, love, and everything we need both as individuals and as the human race.

As the news of escalating tensions in the Middle East buzz about us via every possible medium, we know we are safe in the hands of HKBH, Who in just another day or so during Rosh HaShannah services we'll be communally proclaiming "HaMELECH...." The King!

Nobody messes with the children of The King, y'all. 

With hope and faith that The King will set all things in order, with sincere prayers for the health and safety of ourselves and our regional neighbors as well as the entire world, with confidence that The King always judges righteously and with mercy, and with humble gratitude for our lives which remain, as always, in His hands -

With love to everyone, everywhere
From the Holy City of Jerusalem

TELL ME WHY I DO LOVE MONDAYS....BECAUSE IT COMES WITH GREAT MUSIC

Yes, yes-I know it's been to long...and the excuses of vacations and new equipment does not cut it...But, the important thing is that we are back to our usual schedule-although as you all well know, there is nothing usual about our Monday nights musical journeys :) So, tonight our radio station is on with full speed with great music and me (Maya) and I'll continue to make this hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy experience which is our lives-a bit easier. Tonight, 21-23pm(Jerusalem time), on RFN radio. 

WOW, WE SCORED!!! Our Interviews with MICKEY HART, CRYSTAL MONEE HALL and Incredible Records Founder JONATHON LIPSIN Sunday Sept. 1st at 7pm Israel time!

Friends - We're still HIGH from the MICKEY HART BAND concert in Jerusalem which took place at the magical, magnificent amphitheater venue on Jerusalem's Mt. Scopus, overlooking the Judean desert all the way to the Dead Sea.
Undoubtedly it was the concert of a lifetime for Israel-based Deadheads, who welcomed Mickey Hart, the first member of the Grateful Dead ever to play in Israel (and, by the way, also the first and so far only Dead member to play in both Egypt AND Israel!).

The revelation of the evening was Tony Award-winning vocalist CRYSTAL MONEE HALL, who embodied Shechina with her amazing voice, bringing it down and giving it over like it's never been done before!

We'll be airing our exclusive interviews with both Mickey Hart and Crystal Monee Hall on Radio Free Nachlaot's "Sunday Night Live" show Sunday, September 1st at 7pm Israel time.

This is "appointment listening," people! Tune in to hear Steve and Lorelai live from Undisclosed Studio B in Jerusalem, discussing the concert in-depth and playing both interviews, both of which will later be available for download from our web site.

"Sunday Night Live" on Radio Free Nachlaot will also feature Lorelai's interview with Jonathon Lipsin, founder of the legendary Incredible Records, who flew into Israel from Switzerland for the Mickey Hart concert and has been hanging out in the Holy Land for a couple of weeks.

Jonathon Lipson has more music industry stories to tell than there are ears to hear them in the entire human race. This man is like the Forest Gump of the music industry - the likes of Paul Robeson and Pete Seger were regulars at his parents dinner table in Toronto where he grew up "a red diaper baby," secular Zionist turned Israeli soldier, entrepreneur and founder of what Leonard Cohen called "The Greatest Record Store in the World."

 Read more about Jonathan Lipson in this article about the closing of his store after 30 years, and listen to our interview with him on "Sunday Night Live," Sunday September 1st, 7pm Israel time (9am Pacific, 10am Mountain, 11am Central, 12Noon Eastern) on www.radiofreenachlaot.com

The 9 DAYS OF JERRY Continue - With Love from "Jerry Day" in San Francisco!

This is the first year that Lorelai and Steve haven't been together for the 9 Days of Jerry.  But as hashkacha (Divine Providence) would have it,  Lorelai is visiting her family in the Bay Area this summer, and was able to go to the 11th Annual Jerry Day Celebration at the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in San Francisco.

What a wonderful day, surrounded by so much color and so much love - and what a trip it was to tell people about RFN and how astonished, delighted and positive people were to discover that there is the world's most hard-core Dead fan base in the Holy Land!

Lorelai interviewed Jerilyn Lee Brandelius, author of the soon to be re-released "Grateful Dead Family Album," (and former wife of Mickey Hart). Also got to meet MOUNTAIN GIRL (what an honor!) and hope to be interviewing her this week as well.

Stu Allen and the Mars Hotel were AMAZING, and of course Melvin Seals and the JGB were the sweetest. But that's not all- immediately after the show, Lorelai was whisked away by her (too modest to be named) magic fairy godmother to Shoreline Amphitheater, to see BOB DYLAN!!! Who opened for Bob but My Morning Jacket (at least half of their set was Grateful Dead cover tunes) and Wilco - joined on stage by BOB WEIR - they did "Ripple" into "St. Stephen" into "When I Paint My Masterpiece." Lorelai for sure thought she was already in heaven.

Bob Dylan blew away the house - it was a gevaldik show - so wonderful to be able to be a part of this love party!

Lorelai reports:

I must report that Bob looked and sounded GREAT. I was surprised but not surprised - after all, it's his most Gemini trait (constant change).

I was sitting next to a metal head-banger who LOVES Dylan and said: "This is my 6th Dylan show and I've figured out he does it on purpose just to f*ck with us," (meaning he sometimes does a less than perfect show just to keep us guessing).

The Set List:

Things Have Changed

Love Sick

Highwater

? (have no idea) probably from Bob's new album "Tempest"

Simple Twist of Fate

Ducaine Whistle

She Belongs To Me

? (really have no idea) also probably from "Tempest"

Desolation Row

Blind Willie McTell

Simple Twist of Fate

Summer Days

All Along The Watchtower

Ballad of a Thin Man

I'M QUESTIONING MY EDUCATION...

The 9 days of Jerry are here and tonight Papa radio (Steve) and Rina Rock Star (Rina), will take me (Maya) under their wing to guide and educate me on what being a "Dead Head" really means!! The stories, the experience, the
devotion and of course the MUSIC. Born in the 80's and raised in the 90's, The Greatful Dead weren't a part of my music upbringing but tonight the wise and the elders of our radio station will fix that. So for all of you who want to be re-educated or just love The Greatful Dead and Jerry Garcia, tonight 21-23pm (Jerusalem time), is for you and me!!!!
