PLAYLIST FOR “DOs & DON’Ts” 9.13.25

Dos and Don’ts – we’ve heard them all our lives! Don’t talk unless your raise your hand. Don’t bring candy to school unless you bring enough for everyone. Don’t lock your little sister in the closet…maybe that’s just me. And later we all heard: Do call your mother!

PLAYLIST FOR “BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLS!” 5.31.25

2 Jun

A couple weeks ago I made a joke calling myself the original Big Beautiful Bill. I thought it was pretty funny all things considered these days. But then I started worrying. What about Billy Wilder? Or Bill Buckley? Or Bill Russell? Or Bill Parcels? Or maybe even Barnacle Bill The Sailor? What about all big beautiful Bills? Didn’t I owe them an apology? So I played a couple of hours of singers, musicians, arrangers, and composers named Bill. I thought they fit the bill perfectly.

PLAYLIST FOR “MONARCHY MANIA” (5.6.23)

7 May

Something historic happened today; something that hasn’t happened in 70 years. No, I’m not talking about me getting back on the uneven parallel bars. I’m talking about the coronation of a new king and queen in the United Kingdom. Whatever you think of the royal family, I thought it was a relief to focus on pomp and circumstance for a few hours instead of pomposity and circumstantial evidence. To continue my good feelings, I brought a bowl of Royal butterscotch pudding and a bun with Royal icing for snacks. I wrote my opening on my trusty Royal 10 typewriter, and I hummed the Royal Garden Blues on my drive to the radio station. Clearly I was feeling a royal flush, so I celebrated Monarchy Mania his week with lots of songs about royalty and songs by British and American music royalty.
