PLAYLIST FOR “ALL BLUES” 10.11.25

12 Oct

About 5 years ago, I did a show called, “I Ain’t Got Nothin’ But The Blues.”  Back then, the country – and the  world – were reeling under a pandemic. Americans were confused, fearful, and angry, emotions reflected in contentious politics. We didn’t  know which way the country was going to go. As they say: the more things change… So what kind of mood do you think I’m still in five years later?

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.

PLAYLIST FOR “LYRICALLY, THE BERGMANS” 3.30.24

1 Apr

What do these people have in common? Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt…Frankenstein & the Bride of Frankenstein…Bonnie & Clyde…Marilyn & Alan Bergman? If you said that all of them are famous husband and wife songwriting teams – I really want to see you record collection! I chose to spend a couple hours playing the songs of my two favorites of that bunch.
