Sunny Sunday Afternoon - What ya doin' today?

October 17th. 91 degrees farenheit. Jerusalem. Sunny, Hazy.

It's a lazy day 'round here in studio B -- but we're not going to let that effect us, will we?

Wethere you're going to the beach, working in the office, staying at home, sitting on the porch, entertaining the kids, we've got the soundtrack for your lives. Why? 'Cause that's what we do. And face it, you've got your hands full, let alone have to decide what music to listen to!!!

So, get your groove on, everybody, and enjoy the day! Oh, and by the way, did I remind you that tonight at 8:00 PM:

Sunday Night Live, with Lorelai and Steve. The Mics are going to sound so great tonight you won't be able to miss a word.

Music, Talk and I'm sure there's going to be some Torah mixed in.

Have a great day everybody!

C ya on the radio!!!

Shavua Tov, Gut Voch, Happy Week!

Shlomo Carlebach.

Jah Levi.

Motzoei Shabbos - Meets Reggae.

Starting the week off right!

We often say that Nachlaot is to the Old City like Tzfat is to Jerusalem.

Well, tonight we're going to bring Tzfat to Jerusalem, and the whole world.

First, join us as Shlomo leads us out of Shabbos, always reminding us that we can hold on to the light of Shabbos and bring it with us all week until we reach next Shabbos.

And then, sometime after 8:00 PM we will go to Tzfat! (You know we would only interrupt Shlomo so early on a Motzoei Shabbos for something very special.)

Tonight, Live from the Khan of the White Donkey, Radio Free Nachlaot presents:

JAH LEVI. This is where Shlomo meets Reggae! Let's all get ready to enjoy the high, holy rhythms that will emanate from the city of the Kabbalists.

Let's start this week off right!!

Shavua Tov, everybody!

Closed for Shabbos

We thank G-d for creating the world.

We wish everyone a Great SHABBOS!

We will return around 7:30 PM Motzoei Shabbos - Saturday night - when Melave Malke will meet Reggae --

8:00 PM - Live from the Khan of the White Donkey:

Jah Levi!!!

If you can't be there, create your own gathering 'round your internet radio, 'cause we will be broadcasting the whole show, right here on Radio Free Nachlaot.

Hey, if we don't want to miss a beat -- why should you?

Good Shabbos, Good Shabbos.

On the Road to Shabbos

We are all travelers on that long and winding road -- and isn't it a blessing that we're all travelers on that long and winding road -- that we are all traveling together -- all heading down the road to Shabbos, together. Such a blessing -- and regardless of whether you're heading to Tzfat, or staying in Jerusalem; whether you're in NY, Los Angeles, Denver, London, Paris, or any of the other 52 countries that tune in, Radio Free Nachlaot is your traveling companion -- we're you're soundtrack to life; keep us turned on, and you will not be traveling alone!

Jerusalem Calling at 7am --
Paul Simon "live" from Queens College, 1964 a little after 9 -
Folk music is the order of the day -- Tom Paxton, Dan Fogleber, Bob Dylan plus to take us to the "Not for Kids Only" Childrens' Hour (1PM) and then we'll cover the final stretch to Shabbos -- Jerry, Shlomo, and a whole lot more!

Come, take a walk with us, and remember, "The Road Goes on Forever, and the Party Never Ends!

Cookin' for Shabbos? It must be Thursday night!

It's already Shabbos, can you believe it?

Did you get all the shopping done?

Are the kids asleep? Are the dishes done?

Did you kill all the bugs with Avraham's "Frangrance of the Ketoret" Spray?

Are you ready to Cook for Shabbos?

Well, you know I am! Improved sounds all around - not just on the microphones, but also in the headphones -- hey, we even sound better on our little computer speakers, and why? 'Cause we waited for the man, and he fixed the darn thing.

So now all that's left is to provide you with the soundtrack for your thursday night, or as we used to say, ROCK YOU ALL NIGHT LONG!

So, without further ado - let the show begin.

And so it will, anytime after 10PM until 1, or 2 AM, it's Cookin' for Shabbos - right here on RFN.

Are We Slip-Sliding Away or Are We On The Verge of A Musical Healing?

What a treat to have Dr. Liebe Schulman in-studio with us live today at 12 noon! Not only is Liebe a "Holy Healer," she's also (amongst too many other things to mention here) an accomplished recording artist whose lifelong love affair with the banjo is accredited with saving her life upon multiple occasions.

Today on "Holy Healing" we discussed SAD (Seasonal Affectation Disorder) which is what happens to over 10% of the population of any given climate (with the notable exception of Iceland where they ingest massive amounts of Omega 3-rich fish) when the days start to get dark early.

What can you do? Exercise, eat a lot of Omega 3-rich fish like Salmon, Mackerel and Sardines, get a full-spectrum light box (or at least a light bulb), go outside into the sunshine as much as you can - and of course - LISTEN TO BANJO MUSIC. It's a scientific fact that you can't be sad while listening to banjo music! And Dr. Liebe reminds us that when we get sore from too much yoga or exercise, ARNICA is the answer (sub-lingual tablets under the tongue or Arnica creme).

We've had an exciting day so far and much of it was off-radio ... a really wonderful friend came to Steve's "Undisclosed Studio B" location this morning to tweak, tune & adjust our audio settings to help get the snap, crackle, pop out of the mics there - and from what we heard, the effects are MAHHHHVALOUS, darling ... we'll know more later tonight when Steve takes back the stream for his "Cooking for Shabbos" show...
... but so much going on before that! We also interviewed Tzedakah Adventurer Arnie Draiman which we'll be playing our recording of today and in days to come (and you can listen to it on our DOWNLOAD PAGE, oh yes you can!) Arnie is the head of Draiman Consulting and a real pro - get to know him and his work, he's one of the real "make a difference" people here in the Holy Land!  

So what else is going on for Thursday? So much!!!

1pm - 2pm: Simon & Garfunkel Live in Central Park
2pm: Rabbi Chaim Richman on Lech L'Cha
2:15pm: Laura Liebe Schulman's Banjo Masterpiece "Pretty Little Dog"

Really, where else do you get this kind of programming? I'll tell you where - NOWHERE. Only on Radio Free Nachlaot - who loves you, baby?

Still Crazy After All These Years

American-Jewish Singer/Songwriter Icon Paul Simon is 69 years old today! No one of a certain age (and even younger, if the truth be told) has been untouched by Paul Simon's work from the 1960's until the present day.

As the other half of Simon & Garfunkle he brought beauty (of course, he's a Libra!) and grace into the sometimes rough-edged world of folk music and took "folk" to a whole new level and beyond.

As a solo artist he brought humor, pathos and insight into the rock world - he was one of the first mainstream (white-skinned) superstars to support and record what we now call "World Music" when he started exploring the music of South Africa with his album "Graceland" and Brazilian sounds with "Rhythm of the Saints."

The winner of 13 Grammys including the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Lifetime Achievement Award as well as an inductee (2001) into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Paul Simon was the first recipient (2007) of the Library of Congress's Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.

But hey - despite all the honors and fame, Paul Simon is still crazy after all these years. We love him like a rock. And we're going to play a lot of his music today.

Today's Schedule:
9:10am - 10am: Paul Simon in Concert
10am: Bob Dylan "Desire"
11am: "Ladies Morning" Featuring music from Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Bonnie Raitt, Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James. Not "just" ladies - REAL WOMEN.
1pm - Parsha Shavua "Lech Lecha" from Rabbi Chaim Richman (repeats at 7:45pm)
1:30pm: Music from HaBanos Nechama
2:10pm: Music from Neshama Carlebach
3:10pm: Music from Holly Shere ("Wild Earth Shebrew")
3:40pm: Music from Sasha "Butterfly" Rose ("Creation Song")
5pm: Dr. Liebe Schulman's "Holy Healing" Class from October 7th
6:10pm: Music from Meirah Miriam
7:45pm: Parsha Shavua from Chaim Richman
8pm: PAUL SIMON IN CONCERT! Selections from the best of the best of Paul Simon (live and in-studio)

...Don't forget - the nearer your destination the more we're slip-sliding away. But Radio Free Nachlaot is your bridge over troubled water - we will ease your mind!
