HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (1.14.12)

11 Jan

Hint:

Here’s a partial list of people who could be on Turntable For One this week. What do they all have in common?

Paul Simon, Justin Beiber, Jay Leno and David Letterman, Anthony Perkins, W.A. Mozart, Natalie Cole, Joan of Arc, and on and on…

I’m not certain they’ll all make it, but I hope you will. Something sinister is afoot, although not exactly.

Saturday night at 10:00 — Live radio on WMNR-FM, and WMNR.org

Fooled you! There is no hint because there is no show this Saturday.

Check back next Wednesday for a hint about the New Year’s Eve show as we spend the penultimate hour of 2011 together. Anyone up for a dramatic reading of No Exit?

Have a wonderful holiday and I’ll talk to you just before the New Year…

Hint:

It can happen to chords, to horizons, to a generation, even to Paradise. But that’s only half the story. The rest will be found by listening Saturday night at 10:00 PM.

In other news, I will be sitting in for Will Duchon at The Night Cafe, Friday night at 10:00 on WMNR with an hour of jazz vocals. And this time I promise: no out-of-control Silly String and no police. Check out the show’s Facebook page for more details.

How’s this for a hint?  The theme is “Music We’re Thankful For.” I announced that weeks ago, so you don’t have to guess this week. Aren’t you thankful for that already?  

Tune in to hear my choices, plus music other broadcasters at the station and listeners are thankful for, too.

Turntable For One.  Saturday night at 10:00.  Live radio on WMNR and wmnr.org

We all know the three B’s — Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered. Well, this week I’m playing songs of the three D’s.

To make it easier, the following are all incorrect guesses: Diastolic, Distemper, Diaspora, Diminutive, Dissolute, Decadent, Diaphanous, Dips.

Hope that helps. Keep at it. You’ve got till Saturday night at 10:00 to figure it out.

By the way…I’ll be sitting in for Will Duchon this Friday night at 10:00 on Will’s show, “The Night Cafe.” Same great music, new questionable guest host.  Check out the show’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Friday-Evening-ClassicsThe-Night-Cafe-with-Will-Duchon/282954118397857
