Vin Scelsa played "Israelites" last night on Idiot's Delight. He made no mention of Dekker's death though, it was part of a set leading out of the Pete Seeger song "O Mary Don't You Weep"...

Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

An aside, it's nice to see FMU and other stations picking up a bit of the "oldies" torch since WCBS went away. You guys bust out great songs by Gene Pitney, Shirelles, etc, Not that you didn't before, but it seems more so lately.
