Today’s Traditions show featured a tribute to Penny Lang, who passed away on July 31 (Click HERE for an obituary of Penny).

I also shared a number of songs from artists I met at Summersongs songwriting camp – friends old and new including John Sheckler, Jane Babits, Jud Caswell, Sharon Goldman, Sloan Wainwright and Summersongs found Penny Nichols. I left with a stack of marvelous CDs that I will be sharing in the weeks to come.

(Tune in to WFDU-FM’s TRADITIONS every Sunday from 2pm to 5pm Eastern Time over WFDU-FM 89.1 in the NYC/Northern New Jersey area, or on the web at www.wfdu.fm or iHeartRadio.com.
