PLAYLIST FOR “BROKEN HEARTS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY” (2.11.23)

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Do you love songs about falling in love? Being in love? Staying in love? If you answered Yes to any or all of those questions, you really had a rough flight on last night’s show. Because I love songs about heartache and heartbreak. So my V. Day gift to my audience was two hours of Broken Hearts for Valentine’s Day. I’m surprised the police didn’t break in to make a cardiac arrest.

PLAYLIST FOR “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO UNREALITY – REALLY!” (5.14.22)

15 May

Impossible! It just can’t be! Have you lost touch with reality? I know. It sounds like my last IRS audit. Or maybe Wolf Blitzer’s performance review. Nope. These are things people have been saying about Turntable For One for years. And this week, they were right. I paid tribute to all the things and ways people embrace, admire, and seek Unreality. Is the last song Reality or Unreality? I think that’s going to depend very much on what we all do in the near future.

PLAYLIST FOR “LYRICS CAME LATER” (11.20.21)

21 Nov

In the beginning was the Word. Okay, fine. But not this week. Not on this show. Almost everything I played started out as an instrumental and the lyrics came later. To bring things back to reality, I ended with a melody played so beautifully that I don’t think it really needed the lyrics added later and, finally, with a lyric that Johnny Mercer wrote but didn’t live long enough to set to music.

PLAYLIST FOR “STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN” (4.17.21)

18 Apr

In addition to playing songs about Stop, Look, & Listen, I spent much of the hour asking anyone who would listen to stop and look into their wallets – I mean into their hearts and make a donation to the WMNR Spring Fundraising Drive. It wasn’t all pleading and begging. After I played Billie Holiday’s blown Take 7 of Glad To Be Unhappy, I gave the audience the opportunity to make a couple of donations if they wanted to hear the completed version. A rewarding time was had by all – especially the radio station.

PLAYLIST FOR “TOWN & COUNTRY” (2.6.21)

7 Feb

Remember the story we were taught when we were little? It was the story of the country mouse, cautious and practical, and the city mouse, worldly and sophisticated. I know my teachers were trying to teach us to be like the common sense country mouse. And I was never able to convince them that the two mice would be indistinguishable when caught in a sticky trap. And so the debate about which is better – living in the country or living in the city – has gone on and on and on. And it went on during my show, too. Did I throw light on this debate or just throw shade? Did I answer the questions or question the answers? Really? You gotta be kidding. I just tried to fill two hours with songs about the city and songs about the country. Plus a shout-out to the Super Bowl cities. (I let Gloria Estefan represent Florida because I can’t think of a single song about FL or any of its cities I want to hear.)

26 Apr

Anybody else having bad dreams these nights? So, I’ve not been getting much sleep, but I did get a theme for this week’s show – songs about dreams and a few songs about things to dream about. Also I gave a special shout-out to Georgia for opening up its beauty salons, bowling alleys, restaurants, and tattoo parlors.

PLAYLIST FOR “SOCIAL DISTANCING” (3.21.20)

22 Mar

At times like these – perilous times, uncertain times – people turn to Turntable For One for information and advice. Clearly these are people who’ve never listened to the show before. But, okay, I can totally pretend to abandon my usual format and inveterate cynicism to talk about something serious. Social Distancing. What is it? How do I do it? And what can I do while I’m doing it? I think these songs demonstrate some of the actions and attitudes people should adopt to fill the long months ahead. I also threw in Stacey Kent and Rachael & Vilray to remind people of what we won’t be able to do, perhaps for a long, long time. A little salt never really hurts a wound, does it?

COME DANCE WITH ME / Frank Sinatra / “Come Dance with Me”
SHALL WE DANCE / Lucy Dixon / “Lulu’s Back In town”
ME AND MY SHADOW / (Mystery Vocalist) / Allen Ludden / “Sings His Favorite Songs”
ALONE TOGETHER / Alyssa Allgood / “Exactly Like You”
TV BLUES / Tom Rust / “Are We There Yet?”
SCRABBLE / Lorraine Feather / “Ages”
FLIGHT OF THE FOO BIRDS / The Real Group / “Unreal”
GET OUT OF TOWN / Madeline Eastman / “Mad About Madeline”
LET’S MAKE LOVE ON THIS PLANE / Rachael & Vilray / “Rachael & Vilray”
CELTIC SWING / Van Morrison & Joey DeFrancesco / “You’re Driving Me Crazy”
I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER / Paul McCartney / “Kisses On The Bottom”
SONG ABOUT THE MOON / Alexis Cole / “Dazzling Blue”

PLAYLIST FOR “PLENTY OF MONEY AND YOU” (1.25.20)

27 Jan

This week, WMNR is holding its Winter Fundraising Drive and so in my usual subtle and surreptitious way, I offered songs with the subliminal theme of the cleansing benefits of giving your money away. My audience quickly saw through that baloney as I’m sure you have, but they also responded to my fundraising pleas with much appreciated generosity, supporting not just my show but this unusual radio station.
