PLAYLIST FOR “DUETS & DUOS” – FALL FUNDRAISING 10.26.24

28 Oct

I’m usually doing my annual Halloween show about now, playing classic Halloween songs and greeting trick or treaters at the door. This year I was doing all of the begging and pleading because Fine Arts Radio was practicing the fine art of fundraising! So with my penchant for throwing subtlety to the wind, I played an evening of duets and duos to urge listeners to put their money where my mouth is. (Making it clear to the more eager in my audience that I was only stating a metaphor.)

PLAYLIST FOR “AH-HA MOMENTS!” 1.20.24

22 Jan

Last week I did  a show with the musical theme, “Uh-Oh Moments!” (If you missed the show, I strongly advise you borrow someone’s notes before the final exam.) So I was trying to think of what to do this week.  What to do? What to do? Then, out of the blue, I had an “Ah-Ha Moment!” (At this stage of the game, I can’t afford to pass up any errant thought or idea.)
