Whatever Gets You Through The Night...




From Nachlaot to the Fillmore and back - We Hope! -- Shabbos is coming! It's time to Cook with Steve - 9:30/10 - 1 AM - Erev Shabbos will never be the same -- with our special "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" programming ( 1 am until noon Friday) we'll take you right into Yom Shishi when we'll check in live again to make sure everything is really OK!
First we'll hear from Dave Van Ronk, and then around 3 am we'll recreate some of those magic Fillmore East moments with live performances by Hot Tuna, The Jefferson Airplane, The New Riders of the Purple Sage and The Grateful Dead.
Please note, these live performances weren't necessarily recorded at the Fillmore East, but they could have been!
btw - the Grateful Dead show which is scheduled to play at 8:53 AM is their Last 12/31 show - from Oakland, 1991.

Hope to see you on the radio!!!!

Inner Visions


This week we read "Vayechi" (ויחי ) the final Parsha (Torah Portion) in the Book of Bereshit (Genesis). How did it go by so fast - again? This week our holy forefather Yaakov (Jacob) gives over his "Inner Vision" of each of his sons who are destined to be the 12 Tribes of Israel. In honor of holy visions, in honor of the end of December whose properties include the attribute of sleep and dreams, we're playing Stevie Wonder's 1973 masterpiece, "Innervisions" today at 5pm Jerusalem Time.
Chazak! Chazak! Venischazeik!
חזק! חזק! ונתחזק 
Be strong! Be strong! And may we be strengthened!

Mazel Tov


L'Chaim to us for successfully broadcasting our first LIVE Talk and Music Show Wednesday night December 9th - after bravely circumventing all sorts of technical configuration challenges, we managed to get two sets of headphones and a master microphone wired to the mixer and into the computer and voila - there we were, announcing upcoming events (Raz Hartman and Shaul Judelman at Beit HaMayim on Thursday December 10th, etc.) and spinning tunes for our listeners, with the occasional reading of a Facebook entry or a shout-out to friends. Thanks for bearing with us during our Science Project phase - and look forward to much more great original programming to come. Bottoms up, Jack Daniels!
