HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.6.14)

3 Dec

HINT: 

You’re reading a book or watching your favorite TV program. The chapter ends or the episode ends leaving the story unresolved and you up in the air. What happens next? you wonder. How does the story end? If you’re frustrated by having to delay gratification, I think I can help you out this week.

THIS WEEK’S MUSIC THEME (11.29.14)

26 Nov

No hint required – this week is the Fifth Annual Turntable For One Music To BeThankful For show with special appearances by more than a half-dozen other WMNR Broadcasters plus contributions from listeners as well. It’s one of the shows I look forward to the most every year. I hope you’ll tune in. And I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate that sort of thing wherever you are.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (11.22.14)

20 Nov

HINT:

Sure, other radio shows promise more questions than answers – and they’re proud of it. But Turntable For One boldly follows the road not taken (and, as usual, without a compass, moral or otherwise). I’m going to present something different – an hour of  questions that never need answers! How is that possible? Good question – but it’s for me to know and for you to find out by listening this Saturday night.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (11.15.14)

12 Nov

HINT:

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” By that standard, my advice for this week’s show is BE AFRAID…BE VERY AFRAID!

 

On November 29, I’ll be presenting the Fifth Annual Turntable for One “Music To Be Thankful For” program. Do you have a piece of music you’ve been thankful for this past year? Email me (at turntable@wmnr.org) and let me know. I’ll try to fit in as much of your music as I can.  Remember: it’s a jazz vocals show, so no Mahler; and try to keep the time under five minutes.

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.)

HINT:

This week I’m going to play every song at least twice, but I’m not going to play any song more than once. Am I being clever or confusing? Both, I hope.

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!
