As the holiest of High Holy Days approaches, we take a moment to share a bit of musical levity....

Atone Again (Naturally)

Performed by Marc Hoffman and the Bungaloafers

(intro)

 

Oh We had Rosh Hashanah last week

And so now it's forgiveness I seek

It’s time for HaShem to once again

Reopen that book He keeps

I hope that he’ll inscribe

My name  there in-si...

It's that time of the week when you regret not having fixed the off button on the radio, but the silver lining to that dark cloud is that it's the last Country in the Country show of the summer! We began with that old chestnut "Big Bad Moish," from that even older chestnut, Country Yossi:And one of Country Yossi's Classic Calls, "Genenbdle 5 Boros":And a couple of tracks from NCSY's The Jewish Versio...

Another lovely summer evening tarnished by arrival of Country Yossi and Country in the Country. But don't let that stop you from listening. You'll have almost two hours to find a better reason. We had a caller right of the gate, followed by a little Country Yossi music, "Oh, Yankel" and "Bashert":Then back to the phones and Dov Shurin with the latest news from Israel.Here's the must-have book Dov discuss...

The Three Weeks are over, so let the music begin again! Unfortunately, the closest thing we have to music is from Country Yossi and the Shteeble-Hoppers, with favorites like "Seven Little Kids"The Big K'nocker"

"Cholent"

And just to be sure Country Yossi didn't have a monopoly on the post-Three-Weeks return to music, we were thrilled to share: From Murray Goldwag's new album Murray the Sock Man Sings...

It's a summer heatwave, and along with the oppressive heat, we have an equally oppressive visit from Country in the Country! As we're in The Nine Days, we shared two pieces of a capella music from Ari Goldwag:       Then came the shailes from Country Yossi, and the answers to the latest news from Israel with Dov Shurin. Then more shailes and more a capella music from Ari Goldwag:       And two from Eli Gerstner & The C...

Aaaaaand we're back. Country Yossi has finally returned to The Country. Just like the swallows returning to Capistrano. Or the return of your annual summer heat rash. Since it's the Three Weeks, real music can't return until after Tisha B'Av, so we kicked things off with a little a capella action from Lev Tahor and a Country Yossi classic: Then came the straining stirs stirring strains of County Yossi himself and ...

Celebrating an iconic literary milestone, an historic new woodshed  in publishing and unfortunately for an unsuspecting public, the 27th anniversary issue of our estimated publication we are porous to present this pre-Pesach pouperrie of poultry pauperism!

    After a brief table of contents, we kicked things off with some Three-Weeks-friendly music: "Mimkomcha"  from the album Eli Gerstner & the Chevra: Sing Acappella Then a little more a capella music while Country got the bugs out of the phone lines. (Is there a mashgiach in the house?) Another one from The Chevra: "V'hayu Limsheesa" Next we heard from Dov Shurin with the latest news out of Israel. You can find...

    The Summer Fun continues, except for the two hours or so of Country in the Country! But let's overlook that little detail as we kicked things off tonight with some Kivi & Tuki music: "There is a Bracha."

    And then came the phone calls, and some Country Yossi music: "Oh Yankel."

    And then Dov Shurin checked in with the latest news out of Israel.

    More calls, more music... "Shteeble People."

    We dusted off the Country Yossi Podcast, and look what we found! Country Yossi with Country in the Country! For this first show of the summer, we began with a little Country Yossi music: the surprisingly topical "Cholent," and the evergreen favorite, "Big Bad Moish."

    A few phone calls, some words from our gevaldigeh sponsors, then more CY music: "Oh Yankel."

    Then we enjoyed an entertaining and informative v...
