PLAYLIST FOR “THE MORE THE MERRIER” (2.18.23)

Usually I play 20-24 different singers, musicians, Mystery Vocalists each week. This week I challenged myself to play more. My goal was 57 different artists. Originally, my plan was play something by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, say Good Night, and go home. But because the choir threatened to sue me if I even mentioned their name on my show – probably for elder abuse – I had to come up with a different solution.

PLAYLIST FOR “ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARTY” – AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST (3.12.22)

13 Mar

I couldn’t make it to the station this week, but did that mean no St. Patrick’s Day party this year? Nope. I dug this show from 2019 out of the archives. This is what I wrote about the show back then:

It’s been a Turntable For One St. Patrick’s Day tradition for me to play some jazz singers from Ireland, a few Irish-American (or at least half-Irish-American) singers and musicians, and – always a highlight – for me to eat some traditional Irish food on the air – which, of course, means a bowl of Lucky Charms. And, as if hearing me struggle and choke wasn’t incentive enough, I made this year’s party a celebration of the songs of Jimmy McHugh, the wonderful Irish-American composer.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

CAN’T GET OUT OF THIS MOOD / Chris Connor & Maynard Ferguson / “Two’s Company”
LET’S GET LOST / Curtis Stigers / “Baby Plays Around”
MOLLY MALONE / Tara O’Grady / “Black Irish”

LOVE WON’T LET YOU GET AWAY / Bing Crosby & Rosemary Clooney / “Fancy Meeting You Here”
IF LOVE WERE ALL / Judy Garland / Judy At Carnegie Hall”
SOMETHING COOL / Veronica Swift / “Lonely Woman”
EXACTLY LIKE YOU / (Mystery Vocalist) / Regis Philbin / “When You’re Smiling”
I CAN’T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE / Five Play / “Live From The Firehouse Stage”
I MUST HAVE THAT MAN / Jackie Ryan / “Doozy”
I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT LOVE / Nat Cole / “Night Lights”
ALL ALONE AM I / Cassandre McKinley / “Dragonfly”
THE IRISH BALLAD / Tom Lehrer / “Revisited”
SPRING CAN REALLY HANG YOU UP THE MOST / Ella Fitzgerald with Tommy Flanagan Trio / “Jazz At The Santa Monica Civic ‘72”
TRAVLIN’ LIGHT / Van Morrison & Joey DeFrancesco / “You’re Driving Me Crazy”
GONE WITH THE WIND / Kate McGarry / “The Subject Tonight Is Love”
SAY IT / John Proulx / “Say It”
BALLAD / Gerry Mulligan / “The Complete Verve Concert Jazz Band Sessions:

THIS BITTER EARTH / Imelda May & Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orch. / “The Capitol Sessions”

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.)

OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING / James Taylor / “Other Covers”
ANOTHER HUNDRED PEOPLE / Patti Lupone / “Don’t Monkey With Broadway”

PLAYLIST FOR “HALLOWEEN PARTY – 2020” (10.31.20)

1 Nov

I did a live show this week if only to see if I remembered how to turn on the mic (though I’m sure there were those in the audience hoping I’d forgotten how). But my annual Halloween party is one of my favorite shows of the year because Trick or Treaters always come to the door and I get to guess their costumes and then pass out an appropriate song instead of candy. I ended the show with a reminder about setting their clocks back an hour Saturday night (hoping we don’t turn the clocks back a couple decades on Tuesday).

PLAYLIST FOR “LET’S TALK ABOUT ME” – AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST – (8.8.20)

9 Aug

(I took the week off and found a show from 2018. It was like finding my lost youth and innocence…and some great music. Here are my comments from that other world ago.)

Last night’s show was all about me – no, it’s not what you’re thinking. Check out the song titles and you’ll see that the show was all about “me,” not me. Although since I chose all the songs and all the singers myself, wasn’t the show really all about me? If anyone isn’t utterly confused yet, write to me. I’m sure I can fix that.

HOLD ME HOLD ME HOLD ME / Blossom Dearie / “Blossom Dearie Sings Comden & Green”
CHASE ME / Erroll Garner / “Ready Take One”
HE NEEDS ME / Nina Simone / “Mood Indigo”
MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME / Delicatessen / “My Baby Just Cares For Me”
THE BEST THING FOR YOU / Nat Cole / “Tell Me All About Yourself”
TREAT ME NICE / Marina & The Kats / “Wild”
THEY CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME / (Mystery Vocalist) / Danny DeVito / “Living Out Loud”

27 Oct

My Tenth Annual Halloween party with more treats than tricks. I got to play my favorite haunting melodies with a number of them sung by some of my favorite ghosts.
