PLAYLIST FOR “IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU” (4.18.20)

Week after week after week, for the last ten years, this show has been about three things: me, myself, and I. Sure, I’ve talked now and then about the audience and me being a team – but I’ve recently been reminded that there’s no “I” in team. And you can’t spell Turntable without “U”. So this week all of the music was dedicated and focussed on YOU. I figure after sucking up to the audience for two hours in ten years, things can get back to normal next week.

PLAYLIST FOR “LET’S GO CLUBBING” (4.11.20)

12 Apr

While everyone’s sheltering in place or self-quarantining, there are two ways to look at this week’s show featuring all live performances from jazz clubs and venues around the world: either I’m trying to make people feel bad because of all the night life we’re missing OR I’m trying to give people hope for what’s to come after this damned pandemic has run at least its first course. Which is it? You be the judge. I just had fun playing some of my favorite singers in front of a band, behind a microphone, in front of an audience.

PLAYLIST FOR “SPRING 2020” (4.4.20)

5 Apr

Doesn’t seem like there’s much to celebrate these days. But the grass is greening; trees are budding, and flowers are popping out of the ground. That means it’s time for my annual show with the musical theme, Seasonal Allergies. However, instead I chose something more positive. True, I did slip in some wonderfully grumpy Spring songs.

PLAYLIST FOR “SOCIAL DISTANCING” (3.21.20)

22 Mar

At times like these – perilous times, uncertain times – people turn to Turntable For One for information and advice. Clearly these are people who’ve never listened to the show before. But, okay, I can totally pretend to abandon my usual format and inveterate cynicism to talk about something serious. Social Distancing. What is it? How do I do it? And what can I do while I’m doing it? I think these songs demonstrate some of the actions and attitudes people should adopt to fill the long months ahead. I also threw in Stacey Kent and Rachael & Vilray to remind people of what we won’t be able to do, perhaps for a long, long time. A little salt never really hurts a wound, does it?

ALL BY MYSELF / Bobby Darin / “Oh Look At Me Now”
LET’S EAT HOME / Rosemary Clooney / “Still On the Road”

BREAKFAST ON THE MORNING TRAM / Stacey Kent / “Dreamer In Concert”
COME DANCE WITH ME / Frank Sinatra / “Come Dance with Me”
SHALL WE DANCE / Lucy Dixon / “Lulu’s Back In town”
ME AND MY SHADOW / (Mystery Vocalist) / Allen Ludden / “Sings His Favorite Songs”
ALONE TOGETHER / Alyssa Allgood / “Exactly Like You”
TV BLUES / Tom Rust / “Are We There Yet?”
SCRABBLE / Lorraine Feather / “Ages”
FLIGHT OF THE FOO BIRDS / The Real Group / “Unreal”
GET OUT OF TOWN / Madeline Eastman / “Mad About Madeline”
LET’S MAKE LOVE ON THIS PLANE / Rachael & Vilray / “Rachael & Vilray”
CELTIC SWING / Van Morrison & Joey DeFrancesco / “You’re Driving Me Crazy”
I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER / Paul McCartney / “Kisses On The Bottom”
SONG ABOUT THE MOON / Alexis Cole / “Dazzling Blue”
I REMEMBER SKY / Cormac Kenevey / “Turning Skies”
A TABLE SET FOR SOLITUDE / Dena DeRose / “Live At The Jazz Standard Vol. 1”
ET AINSI VA LA VIE / Sarah Lancman / “Parisienne”
WE’LL BE TOGETHER AGAIN / Seth MacFarlane / “Once In A While”
LET IT BE / Diane Schuur / “Running On Faith”

PLAYLIST FOR “JUST JOE” (3.07.20)

8 Mar

I planned this show months and months ago, just a show featuring some of my favorite songs, singers, and musicians all named Joe. At the time I thought Joe Biden was toast, not someone voters months later would be toasting. Okay, times are different now, but no way I’m throwing away a good idea – especially since they are coming with less and less frequency. To give an appearance of fairness, I tossed in a couple songs for Bernie, too.

PLAYLIST FOR “TEACHABLE MOMENTS” (2.22.20)

23 Feb

I thought when you experience a Teachable Moment, you’re supposed to reflect and even have a change of heart. The only reflection I’m seeing these days is in my mirror – and I’m not too happy with those results either. So I played a couple hours of songs about people confronting difficult situations in hopes that the music and messages might be helpful and instructive.

PLAYLIST FOR “PLENTY OF MONEY AND YOU” (1.25.20)

27 Jan

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.

MIA again last Saturday and pulled another show from the archive, a show from 2016. I’ll be back live this Saturday. Keep watching this space: Details to follow…

Over the last 7 years, I’ve thought of musical themes of songs for about nearly everything you can think of. Hope you caught my shows with songs about Boy Meets Tinder, Practical First Aid, and The Only Thing The NSA Isn’t Watching Is Paint Drying.

PLAYLIST FOR “TAKING AN EGO TRIP” – AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST – (12.14.19)

16 Dec

I couldn’t get to the studio this week. It turns out that GPS is useless when you’re taking an ego trip. So I went deep into the archives for a show that, sadly, is as relevant today as it was a few years ago. Maybe more. Of course, I added a few cautionary tales to the Ego Trip itinerary, and a few of these trips don’t exactly come in for a soft landing.
