4 Nov

It’s been quite a peripatetic week, no?

What can you do when you’re in a foul mood except play songs about foul play, and foul weather, andfowl weather, and on and on in that foul trajectory?

PLAYLIST FOR “ALL ABOUT YOU!” (SPRING FUNDRAISING) 4.20.24

29 Apr

Time for the WMNR Spring Fundraising Drive and in the past, I have asked, suggested, requested, and urged; I’ve begged, pleaded, and beseeched my audience to call me or go on line to support Turntable For One and WMNR. You’re probably thinking, there’s nothing left, Bill. You’ve done it all. Wrong! And this week I went for something different: Pandering. Yes, abject and unabashed pandering! Totally sucking up to what I like to call,  the best damned audience in radio. For once it wasn’t all about me.  It was all about you this week on Turntable For One.
