WMNR Fine Arts Radio was celebrating another Musical Theme Week, “Gone Fishin'”. So, of course, I jumped right in, since I’ve spent my life fishing for the right words and angling for an original thought.

PLAYLIST FOR “THE (LOST) ART OF WRITING LETTERS” (5.14.16)

16 May

Remember when 140 characters meant a Tolstoy novel, not our major means of communicating with each other? Remember when Snail Mail referred to the gender of a specie, not to the U.S. Postal Service? Remember when a sound bite was an accident with the neighbor’s dog, not a statement by a politician? (Although you’d probably be wise to get a rabies shot after both of those events.) We seem to have lost a number of things these days – skills such as logic, empathy, listening. This week I thought I’d tackle the lost art of letter writing with a couple dozen wonderful songs and singers on the topic.

TAKE A LETTER, MISS JONES / Mel Torme / “Live At Marty’s”

TONY BENNETT / Kevin Mahogany / “Old, New, Borrowed, And The Blues”
TOO MARVELOUS FOR WORDS / Helen Merrill / “Casa Forte”
YOU’RE THE TOP / (Mystery Vocalist) / Cary Grant & Ginny Sims / “Music of Cole Porter”
MONA LISA / Keith Jarrett / “Tokyo 96”
SMITTEN WITH YOU / Lorraine Feather / “Attachments”
HONEY PIE / Tuck & Patty / “Love Warriors”
HEY JOHN / Blossom Dearie / “Blossom Dearie Sings”
HEY YOU WITH THE CRAZY EYES / Loston Harris / “Swingfully Yours”
BABY, WON’T YOU PLEASE COME HOME / Champian Fulton / “After Dark”
MEET ME AT NO SPECIAL PLACE / Maud Hixson / “Love’s Refrain”
LONELY TIME / Maynard Ferguson / “Message From Birdland”
YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY / Curtis Stigers / “Secret Heart”
DEARLY BELOVED / Nancy Wilson / “Hollywood My Way”
THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT / Tony Bennett / “Rarities, Outtakes, & Other Delights, Vol. 2””
HURRY IT’S LOVELY UP HERE / Mark Jennett / “Everybody Says Don’t”
DON’T SMOKE IN BED / Nina Simone / “Little Girl Blue”
