HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (10.25.14)

22 Oct

HINT:

If you thought about it – even for a minute – before you did it, you’d have known immediately, instinctively it wasn’t going to end well. Far from it. The cards were stacked against you. But did that stop you? No. 

Can you think of any songs like that? I can.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (10.18.14)

15 Oct

HINT:

When we admire singers and musicians, we go to their concerts, we buy their music. When singers and musicians admire other singers and musicians, what do they do? (And, if you think this has something to do with Tonia Harding, you’re really on the wrong track.)

PLAYLIST FOR “COPYCATS” (10.11.14)

I hope my hint this week was sufficiently confusing…“I’ll play every song at least twice but I won’t play any song more than once.” All I meant was I’ll play two different songs with the same song title. I was surprised at how many there are, and how many I didn’t know before last week. How about you?

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (10.4.14)

1 Oct

HINT:

This week’s show will be selected from the voluminous and vast Turntable For One archives, which is another way of saying, it will be a repeat show from the past. Which program will it be and which musical theme? Well, if you missed it the first time, you can be excused (with a signed note from your doctor). However, if you miss it this time, all I can say is you will really be asking for trouble!
