PLAYLIST FOR “OPPOSITES DON’T ALWAYS ATTRACT!” 6.20.26

So many people have differing (at best) and opposing points of view these days. Did I try to reconcile them, bring people together? Of course not! Nope, I exploited the situation by playing two hours of opposites, maintaining my show’s perfect record of doing the exact opposite of what’s needed.

PLAYLIST FOR “NEVER SAY NEVER” (AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST) 2.21.26

22 Feb

Couldn’t do a live show Saturday night, so I dusted off a show from a simpler time – 2017. Here’s what I wrote about it back then:

If there’s a rule about an exception to every rule, doesn’t that mean there must be a rule with no exception? Think about that as you look down the list of singers and songs helping me to break one of the tiresome rules I’ve heard my whole life – Never Say Never! Really? You try singing these songs without singing that word.

SONG TITLE  /  Artist  /  CD Or Album Title

  • I NEVER LOVED ANYONE  /  Carol Sloane  /  “We’ll Meet Again”
  • I’LL NEVER BE THE SAME  /  Anna Sise  /  “But Beautiful”

  • NOW OR NEVER  /  Jackie Ryan  /  “The Best Of Love Songs”

  • IF I NEVER GET TO PARIS  /  Chaise Lounge  /  “Gin Fizz Fandango”
