It’s the one-hundredth birthday of three music giants! Anyone have Willard Scott’s private number? No? Guess I’ll have to do the celebrating myself!

18 Mar

HINT:

March has all kinds of feel-good festivities: the first day of Spring, St. Patrick’s Day; and don’t forget March is Optimism Month and Women’s History Month. Just thinking about all the positive and politically correct songs celebrating how far we’ve come is giving me goosebumps – no, wait – those are hives. Does anyone think all those out-dated, neglected, and inappropriate songs nobody should be singing in these enlightened days deserve to be heard, too? I can think of one guy who does.

HINT:  

Believe me – I’ve tried everything. Warm milk, warm baths, baths in warm milk, pills, potions, elixirs, swaddling, hypnotic suggestion. I even read “The Goldfinch” for crying out loud! Nothing works. Find out what I’m talking about and hear some great jazz vocals this Saturday night.

HINT:

Sick of snow, ice, slush, blizzards, wind chill, and winter storm warnings…longing to escape our world of  sad abbreviations? NSA, GMOs, TBTs, LMAO, and CNN? Jeez – whatever happened to quiet desperation? Okay, okay, stay calm and I’ll try to think of something to cheer you up. Maybe a game? Check in with me on Saturday night.

HINT: 

I think I’ve figured out what to do to be as popular as Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Dr. Laura, Dr. Dre, Dr. Demento, Dr. Zhivago, and Dr. Pepper combined. You need someone to tell you what to do? Trust me – I’m just getting started thinking up directives for you!

Valentine’s Day is coming and for those of you who already have that special valentine in your life, I’m sure you’re ready with the flowers, the cards, the candy, the dunking booth – hey, I don’t criticize your Valentine’s Day traditions, so don’t criticize mine.

HINT:

The flu, a fever, ice storms, snow storms, passing when you should be running, deflated balls (anyone else been watching C-SPAN?) – enough is enough!  I’m not going to take it anymore.

A WORD ABOUT THIS WEEK’S SHOW (1.31.15)

29 Jan

Anyone notice I’ve been gone? Just me? Thought so. Okay. in that case, I’m sure the news that I won’t be in the studio this week either won’t rock your world -not nearly as much as this year’s flu has rocked mine for the past two week. (Fair and balanced though I am, I can say nothing to recommend having the flu, nothing whatsoever.) I’m going to take another week to see if I can stop coughing long enough to say my name plus a word or two after that. 

The good news is we’ll be playing one of my favorite shows as an Archive Encore this Saturday night, so that you can relive one more time all of the fun, mystery, and erudition which was missing when I did this show live and is still missing. (People need some consistency to anchor their lives, right?)

Watch this space for news about my return to life and to live programs.

I can’t be there live this week, so I’ll be dipping into the archives for an encore show.  If you think I look a lot younger this Saturday night, keep it to yourself, ok?
