Sorry, but this week’s Halloween show has been called on account of snow — yes, snow…in October!
So it turns out that Mother Nature is even more sinister than the artists I was planning to feature.
Look for news about next week’s show here on Wednesday.
Turntable For One will be a re-run tonight, a show from last Spring. Sorry to say, this cold I’m fighting is going to win this round.
However, look on the bright side: this will give you another week to puzzle over this week’s hint; or another week for me to have some different dreams.
Cough at you next week…
Proven: Turntable For One makes you healthy and happy!
Ok. Mock on, mock on. But I’m not making this up, unlike the time I said Angela Lansbury asked me to run away with her. No, I’m talking real scientific research, a couple of studies widely reported in the media.
The first one quantified and confirmed something we already knew instinctively: every hour of television you watch reduces your life span by 22 minutes. Well, duh. You try watching an episode of “The Bachelorette” and see if you don’t feel your will to live fading like Tinkerbell’s glow.
Now the really good news: Another study, this one conducted in Britain, found that people who listen to radio have higher levels of happiness and energy than consumers of other forms of media. In fact, radio had the most mood-enhancing effect of any media. No surprise there. My mother never misses Turntable For One and she turns 98 this year. Draw your own conclusions.
Want to get started on a happier, healthier life? Maybe you should meet me Saturday night at my Turntable For One.
Welcome to the official Turntable For One blog. I know. You’re thinking, sure, Bill, you can fill an entertaining hour every week with great jazz vocals (10:00 pm, Saturday night on WMNR-FM, wmnr.org), but do you really have what it takes to fill a blog?
I admit blogging has certain requisites. Let’s see how I stack up:
Satisfied? Now let’s get started!
This is where you’ll come for breaking news about Turntable For One. And because there seldom is any breaking news about Turntable For One, I’ll also be posting my weekly playlists, hints about themes for up-coming shows, errant and random comments about music I’m listening to, interviews and other features that couldn’t make it into the live shows, occasional contests and opinion polls, plus personal stories that may make you laugh or cry, when, really, you should be doubting their veracity. And if I totally run out of ideas, how about a few of my favorite easy-to-follow recipes for one-pan meals? You got it!
Remember that you, the bloggee, can also get involved. Leave your comments, suggestions, requests, regrets, anxieties, ambitions, and unfulfilled dreams in the “comment box.” It’ll be our little secret.
Talk to you next week…
