PLAYLIST FOR “EASY DOES IT” (3.4.23)

You know how I work very hard planning this show every week? Some of my audience was thinking,”Work harder.” And some were thinking, “This show is planned?” And the rest of them were likely thinking, “Will you get through the opening so we can listen to some music?” The point was this week instead of working hard, I took it easy. In fact, everything about the show, especially the songs were easy. (Not entirely sure the audience got off easy.)

PLAYLIST FOR “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO DIRECT ADDRESS” – AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST (BETTER KNOWN AS A RERUN) (1.21.23)

22 Jan

I didn’t make it to the station this week, so I played a show from when I was younger and the world was easier to understand. Okay, just when I was younger. Here’s what I said about it the first time around:

“‘What we got here is failure to communicate,’ said one of the most reprehensible yet prescient movie villains of all time. That line of dialogue has been playing frequently in my head these days. How can we communicate better? Of course, my answer to this and so many other questions is simple: better grammar. So in my continuing effort to leave no listener behind, I made a case for the vocative case, another term for the function of grammar known as direct address. All of the songs served as examples, using a name, a term of endearment, or a feeling to grab the attention of the intended object of communication. If only the rest of the world would function according to the orderly, predictable precepts in my dog-eared high school grammar book.”

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD or Album Title

HEY YOU WITH THE CRAZY EYES / Loston Harris / “Swingfully Yours”

WAITER MAKE MINE BLUES / Anita O’Day / “Waiter Make Mine Blues”
WAITER ASK THE MAN TO PLAY THE BLUES / Freddy Cole / “Waiter Ask The Man To Play The Blues”
WAITER, OH WAITER / Stacey Kent / “The Changing Lights”
DINNER FOR ONE, PLEASE, JAMES / Joe Williams / “Ballad & Blues Master”
FEET DO YOUR STUFF / Sarah Moule / “It’s A Nice Thought”
RUBY, MY DEAR / Thelonious Monk / “At Palo Alto”

PLAYLIST FOR “AN EXERCISE IN EXERCISING” (AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST (11.5.22)

6 Nov

Couldn’t do a live show this week, so I decided to take a stroll down memory lane, a shorter and shorter trip for me. Look what I found! A show from last Spring. Here’s what I wrote about the show at the time…

Until recently my exercise regimen consisted of Running my mouth, Stretching the truth; Rushing to judgment; and Leaping to all the wrong conclusions. Those days are gone. Now I have a Life Coach telling me when to sleep, when to wake up, when to stand, and how far to walk and on and on. And there’s no way I can tell this Life Coach to put a cork in it because my Life Coach isn’t a person – it’s an Apple Watch that’s become the boss of me. So if I have to endure this torture, of course, my audience had to endure the torture with two-hours of songs about exercise. I’d write more but my damned watch is telling me it’s time to stand!

LET’S TAKE A WALK AROUND THE BLOCK / Mel Torme / “Live At Marty’s”
WALKING AFTER MIDNIGHT / Staci Griesbach / “Mu Patsy Cline Songbook”

SHALL WE DANCE / Lucy Dixon / “Lulu’s Back In Town”
KISS AND RUN / Johnny Hartman / “I Just Dropped By To Say Hello”
IT SWUNG WIDE OPEN / Joey DeFrancesco / “In The Key Of The Universe”
BUT BEAUTIFUL / Ethel Ennis / “Ethel Ennis”
ME & MY SHADOW / (Mystery Vocalist) / Allen Ludden / “My Favorite Songs”
COME RUNNING / Lena Horne / “At The Waldorf Astoria”
LESTER LEAPS IN / Count Basie /. “Count Basie At Newport”
EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG / Veronica Swift / “This Bitter Earth”
YOU CALL IT JOGGING / Mose Allison / “The Mose Chronicles”

PLAYLIST FOR “FUN WITH PHOBIAS” (6.4.22)

6 Jun

We all have them. Maybe we call them quirks or superstitions. Let’s call them by their real names – fears and phobias. Fear of Heights – it’s called Acrophobia. Dentrophobia – fear of Dentists. Even I have a phobia: The Fear of Howie Mandel suddenly showing up at my door. I’m sure there’s a name of that but I haven’t found it yet. Most of our phobias are manageable and many are actually curable. Here’s my question: are they exploitable, by which I mean could I get two hours of music out of them? Songs about phobias, songs to help overcome phobias – two hours of immersion therapy in swing.

PLAYLIST FOR “IT’S THAT TIME!” (11.6.21)

Something unusual and special happened this weekend. No, my show wasn’t organized and coherent. I said, unusual and special, I didn’t say anything about a miracle. If you’ve been examining or reexamining your life, you’ve probably thought. “Wouldn’t it be great if I could turn back the clock?” Well, this was your night! The end of Daylight Saving Time. Time to Fall behind and turn the clocks back an hour.

PLAYLIST FOR “MOMSPLAINING” (5.8.21)

8 May

By now everyone knows what “mansplaining” is, right? God knows I’ve explained to my audience a million times. To celebrate moms and Mother’s Day, I played a couple hours of music, advice, and observations entirely from a mom’s point of view. In other words, Momsplaining.
