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

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 “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO UNCERTAINTY” – AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST (1.29.22)

30 Jan

I am certain of one thing: this weekend it snowed. It snowed a ton. And I didn’t make it to the station. So instead we listened to a show from last Fall. It certainly filled the two hours. And what else? Well, about that I am uncertain. Here’s what I wrote about the show back then:

“The Road Not Taken”

By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could.

Okay, everyone finds this poem iconic and inspiring. Really? Do you know where these roads go? I don’t. Do you know if there are bears or poison ivy or rest stops? I don’t. So how can you be so certain you’re making a good decision and not a bad mistake? You can’t! You can’t be certain and that’s about the only thing you can be certain of. Especially when I spent two hours presenting A Musical Tribute To Uncertainty. (Did everyone love it? Well, I’m not entirely certain about that…)

SONG TITLE / Artist / “CD Or Album Title

AT LONG LAST LOVE / Nancy Kelly / “Singin’ And Swingin’”

DON’T YOU KNOW I CARE / Ernie Andrews / “No Regrets”
HOW AM I TO KNOW / Shirley Horn / “Here’s To Life”
WAIT AND SEE / The Real Group / “Unreal”
TULIP OR TUNIP / Bill Henderson / “Bill Henderson Live At The Vic”
WHAT DID I FORGET / Susannah McCorkle / “Hearts & Minds”
MAYBE YOU’LL BE THERE / (Mystery Vocalist) / Tab Hunter / “When I Fall In Love”
MAYBE / Lena Horne / “An Evening With Lena Horne”
MAYBE / Steven Pasquale / “Somethin’ Like Love”
I WONDER / Melissa Morgan / “Until I Met You”
SHOULD I / John Pizzarelli / “Kisses In The Rain”
DETOUR AHEAD / Sinne Eeg / “Waiting For Dawn”
I WALK A LITTLE FASTER / Mark Murphy / “Sings Mostly Dorothy Fields & Cy Coleman”

PLAYLIST FOR “SEASON FINALE 2021” (7.3.21)

4 Jul

It was the last show of the season. I’m off for two months replaced by live concerts from the Tanglewood Music Festival. But I’ll be keeping busy, once again firing up my ice cream truck and coming to a neighborhood near you. Here are some of the ice cream treats I’ll be featuring this year. Oh, and I also played a lot of songs about saying goodbye.

Wait till you try a Pandemic parfait. I know. I served this last year but I have a new variant this year. I think it’s a real killer.
This year I’ll be offering the Marjorie Taylor Green Sundae. Heavy on the whipped cream, heavier on the nuts
Of course I’ll have that old favorite, Cookie dough for the kid in you and play dough for the actual kids. They’ll eat it anyway.
How about my newest flavor – I just invented it in Jan. It’s Insurrection Ice Cream. It’s two parts Pabst Blue Ribbon and one part viagra. WARNING: If you have an Insurrection that lasts more than 4 hours, better call your lawyer.
One of my new favorites is Arizona chocolate chip. There are exactly 723 chocolate chips in a pint – we know because someone from Arizona has re-counted them three times.
Want something that’s locally sourced, non-GMO, organic, and recyclable? Try a napkin from the dispenser. My ice cream is a totally different story.
This year’s special offer: when you buy ten q-anon cones you get a free Jewish space laser.
Remember: My staff is fully vaccinated, they don’t wear masks, they don’t wear gloves, and they don’t wear hairnets – maybe I shouldn’t have told you that last one

PLAYLIST FOR “REQUEST WEEK” – TURNTABLE FOR ONE SEASON 11 PREMIERE (9.5.20)

6 Sep

I kicked off my 11th season by kicking back and letting the audience do most of the work. Every song (until the last) was a request from someone out there in radioland. About half-way through the show, I started to fret that their choices were so good, maybe they don’t need me at all. Lesson: Always watch out for unintended consequences.

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.

PLAYLIST FOR “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE” (10.19.19)

20 Oct

The earth is heating up, ice caps and glaciers are melting, the seas are rising, and many species, including our own, are threatened with extinction. What are we going to do? Well, I did what I always do: I exploited these serious problems, trivializing them with two hours of catchy, swinging, and often ironic songs. Some of them were comments on current conditions; others were things we need to curtail to save the planet. The first song was an answer to “What’s going to be the new capital city of the East Coast?” The second song was written in 1921 but casts an eerie darkness to what’s going on today. Just to be a pro-active citizen, I recycled and re-used a previous mystery vocalist. And as for the last two songs: which one will future generations be singing? That’s up to us now.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

GARY, INDIANA / Janet Planet / “Of Thee I Sing”
THERE’LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE / Dave Brubeck & Jimmy Rushing / “On Time”

MY BUICK, MY LOVE, AND I / Seth MacFarlane / “In Full Swing”
COME FLY WITH ME / Shirley Horn / “Close Enough For Love”
LET’S MAKE LOVE ON THIS PLANE / Rachael & Vilray / “Rachael & Vilray”
SWINGING ON A STAR / (Mystery Vocalist) / Anthony Perkins / “From The Heart”
A SLEEPIN’ BEE / Johnny Hartman / “I Just Dropped By To Say Hello”
FRIM FRAM SAUCE / Diana Krall / “All For You”
INTO EACH LIFE SOME RAIN MUST FALL / Dianne Reeves / “Good Night, Good Luck”
THE RAIN IN SPAIN / Adrian Cunningham & His Friends / “Play Lerner & Loewe”
RIVER STAY AWAY FROM MY DOOR / Spike Jones / “Omnibust/60 Years of Music America Hates”
ILL WIND / Sarah Vaughan & Count Basie / “Send In The Clowns”

PLAYLIST FOR “CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY 2019” (4.27.19)

Okay, I know I was celebrating International Jazz Day a little early. But I was eager to feature a few of the singers from around the world who are fighting the good fight to keep jazz alive, thriving, and swinging.

PLAYLIST FOR “STALKER WEEK” – AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST – (1.13.18)

15 Jan

I couldn’t do a live show this past week, so I offered one of my favorite shows from the Turntable For One archives.

Every week I try to play music that strikes a chord with as many audiences as possible. Still, there’s been one group, hidden in the shadows, I’ve ignored…until this week. Stalkers – this one was for you!
