I’M BAAAAACK!!! HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (8.30.14)

27 Aug

Well, the wait is almost over! Of course, I mean for the iPhone 6. But while you’re waiting, who says you can’t have a little fun listening to the new season of Turntable For One starting this Saturday, August 30th? To ratchet up the excitement and anticipation someone besides me must be feeling, how about a hint about this Saturday night’s musical theme?

HINT: 

The songs this week are all inspired by everything I wanted to do, planned to do, and didn’t do during my summer hiatus. 

(Use what you know – that’s what I always say…)  Talk to you Saturday night!

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S SHOW (6.28.14)

26 Jun

HINT: 

This Saturday night is the season finale. I have some loose strings to tie up, a few songs I’ve been wanting to play for months, and I’ll be handing out your summer listening assignments. Hilarity should ensue; and if it doesn’t, I’m not taking all the blame.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (6.14.14)

11 Jun

HINT:

You think it’s easy, don’t you? Every week, week after week, pick some kind of ironic theme, throw some songs at it, and see what sticks. Easy? Really? Want to  see what happens when I don’t pick a theme; in fact, I’m not even going to choose the music, either! What are you going to do now? Think you’re ready to step up to the plate, grab the bull by the horns, jump into the deep end, put your money where your mouth is? Don’t you know how unsanitary that is? So I guess we’ll see what you’re made of on Saturday, won’t we?

I’ll let you in on a secret if you promise to tell everyone you can. I posted a new podcast on PRX, the Public Radio Exchange. All of the same great Turntable For One music without the excruciating waiting for Saturday night. Click the link below.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (6.7.14)

3 Jun

HINT: 

Well, it’s happened again. Another year has rolled past, another graduation season has come and almost gone, and not one single school, college, university, junior college, community college, school of continuing education, driving school, or pet obedience school has invited me to deliver the commencement address at graduation. And here I am, ready and eager as usual to share my wisdom and advice, predictions and predilections with an audience of bored and inattentive listeners. Hey, wait! Don’t I have that already?

28 May

HINT: 

How do you turn a frown upside-down? I ask. Stand on your head, you answer. True, but bad for my vertigo. I’ve thought of a better way and about a dozen songs as accompaniment.

21 May

HINT:

Hitchcock’s “Psycho?” Scary, but creepy, too.  “Silence of the Lambs?” A few chills…pass the fava beans.  “Alien?” Ok, now we’re talking scary! But no movie, TV, or radio show has ever given you the willies the way I will this Saturday night. Don’t listen alone!!

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (5.10.14)

7 May

HINT: 

This week I might play Ella, but definitely not Sarah. I might play Helen Merrill, but definitely not Carmen McRae. I might play Shirley Horn, but definitely not Lena Horne. I might play Nancy Sinatra or Nancy Wilson, but definitely not Nancy LaMott. There’s a pattern here. See it? All will be revealed this Saturday night.

HINT:

Jazz singers and country singers. Maybe you’re thinking, irreconcilable differences. But I’m picturing a Venn Diagram and now I’m thinking, hey, I’ve got  a very interesting hour of music planned.
