HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (1.10.15)

6 Jan

Last week’s theme turned out to be, “Oh, no, you don’t.” Weather won that round and I couldn’t get to the station for a live show. Hope you enjoyed the show from the archives. Let’s try this again with a different theme, ok?

HINT:

People can make all kinds of suggestions. They make helpful suggestions, or constructive suggestions, or timely suggestions, or improper suggestions. Guess which one I’m focusing on this Saturday night?

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (1.3.15)

31 Dec

I’m starting the new year off right – with a literary metaphor.

HINT: 

If this week’s Turntable For One were a Dickens novel, which one would it be?

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.27.14)

24 Dec

HINT: 

This week will be the annual Turntable For One Year In Review – plus I’ll explain why the show wasn’t on last Saturday night. Was it because criticism reached critical mass? Was it because of the threats of a certain North Korean leader to hack my personal emails? Was it just an early Christmas gift to you? Find out this week!

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.13.14)

10 Dec

HINT:  

What do you call it when a bunch of people who work together but may not know each other that well and probably don’t really like each other all that much get together just before Christmas and everyone drinks and everyone’s loud, and things get out of hand and people say things and do things in the heat of the moment that they regret for a whole year until it’s time to do it again?

I know that sounds like every Turntable For One show, but this week I have something else in mind, something special and just for the holidays.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.6.14)

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.  

 

Want to hear a classic Turntable For One show? There are 32 podcasts waiting to satisfy your every jazz vocal need.
