PLAYLIST FOR “SONGS ABOUT SONGS” AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST 9.20.25

21 Sep

I reached back into the Turntable For One archives and dusted off golden oldie and one of my favorites from the past few years. This is what I wrote when the show was new:

In the middle of planning this week’s show – A Musical Tribute To The  Venn Diagram – I was forced to face a defining question: What makes Turntable For One Turntable For One? Forget the technical mistakes. Forget the historical inaccuracies. Forget the defamation law suits (And God knows I’ve tried). The essence week after week: Songs! Can’t I get a theme out of that?

Hello, I must be going. Time again for my summer vacation. But not before I  hand out your summer listening assignments. (And, yes, there will be a quiz when I’m back in the Fall!) I’ll also be spilling about the tasty, out-of-the-box, out of the truck treats I’ll be serving up when I come to your neighborhood. Tune in for the season finale Saturday night!
