PLAYLIST FOR “ESCAPE PLANS” (AN ARCHIVAL RE-BROADCAST) 1.24.26

26 Jan

I was metaphorically under the weather this week, 24 hours before most of the country was literally under the weather. So I dipped into the archives for a show from a few months back. It may be more relevant to my mood now than it was when it first aired. This is what I wrote about it back then:

I can think of a thousand reasons why Escape Plans are on my mind. Instead, I thought of a couple dozen great songs and let them be my escape for a couple hours. (I also paid tribute to Jack DeJohnette whose work means so much to me.)

PLAYLIST FOR “A LITTLE LOVE TO UNLOVED LYRICISTS” 12.7.24

9 Dec

I don’t think a week has gone by when I haven’t played songs with lyrics by Larry Hart or Cole Porter or the Bergmans, or Ira Gershwin – until this week! I’m gave all those guys the night off and instead, focussed on lyricists whose songs we know – but their names… not so much. I spent the evening singing the praises of  such talented lyricists as Bob Russell, Caroll Coates, Bob Haymes, Peggy Lee, Ed Hayman, and others. Well, fortunately for my audience, I let other, more qualified people do the singing.

14 Nov

I’ve been having trouble adjusting to Daylight Savings Time going away. They said we’d gain an hour. We did. We gained an extra hour of darkness.

PLAYLIST FOR “FRENCH KISSES” (4.29.23)

1 May

Let’s be honest. France has seen some dark days. Some examples: Joan of Arc?  Where was Gloria Allred when we needed her? And you can’t talk about  dark days without Napoleon — the man not the dessert.  Or Vichy – the government, not the water.  And Freedom Fries – wait, no, that was our dumb mistake. And today the French are suffering through another tragic indignity – raising the national retirement age from 62 to 64. Well. I think we need to show our support and not just our incredulity for what the brave but – not over-worked -people of France going through. I presented a celebration of French singers and musicians, french songs, and songs about France. That’s right, for two hours I gave out out French Kisses this week on Turntable For One.

PLAYLIST FOR “THE MORE THE MERRIER” (2.18.23)

20 Feb

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.
