PLAYLIST FOR “HOW SWEET IT IS” – AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST (10.24.20)

25 Oct

Seems to me the world needs some sweetness even more than when I first did this show last June. Guaranteed “sweet” songs with no sugary aftertaste. Here’s how I introduced the show last summer.

Sweet – it’s a word that you don’t hear much, especially now. Home Sweet Home? After three months of sheltering in place, what’s so sweet about being home? Sweet Dreams? Its been months since I had one. Sweet Spot? I know what it used to mean, but now it means keeping six feet away from people. Sweet Nothings? That’s still how most people describe the long, rambling opens to my shows (just like this). So I thought it was time to give Sweet a little love. It was only for two hours – then everyone could go back to life as we know it these days.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

SWEET AND LOVELY / Greta Matassa / “Favorites From A Long Walk”
HOW SWEET IT IS TO BE LOVED BY YOU / Joe Williams / “Presenting Joe Williams & Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orch.”

GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART / Sarah Vaughan / “Sarah Plus 2”
IN YOUR OWN SWEET WAY / Miles Davis / “Workin’”
SWEET SURPRISE / Blossom Dearie / “Whisper For You”
BIG BAD BILL / (Mystery Vocalist” / David Lee Roth / “The Collection”
BITTER WITH THE SWEET / Jenna Mammina & Rolf Sturm / “Spark”
CANDY / Nat King Cole / “After Midnight:
SWEETHEART / Maryann Price & Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks / “Last Train To Hicksville: The Home Of Happy Feet”
SWEET GEORGIA BROWN / Take 6 / “The Standard”
SWEET PUMPKIN / Diane Marino / “Soul Serenade”
SUCH SWEET THUNDER / Duke Ellington / “Soul Call”
BITTERSWEET / Maud Hixson / (Promo CD)
SWEET PEA / The Hot Sardines / “French Fries & Champagne”
THE NEARNESS OF YOU / Al Jarreau / “Accent The Positive”
SWEET LOTUS BLOSSOM / Linda Carone / “Black Moonlight”
SWEET KENTUCKY HAM / Dave Frishberg / “Classic”

PLAYLIST FOR “IN THE PRESENT PERFECT – A MUSICAL TRIBUTE” (9.19.20)

20 Sep

Who wants to take a quiz? Of course you do! It’s a grammar quiz – and of course you don’t. Too bad; here it is: Present Perfect. I know – there’s nothing perfect about the present. I meant Present Perfect Tense. I know – could things get any more tense? You’re still not with me. The Present Perfect Tense describes something that began in the past and is still happening – like this interminable introduction. Present Perfect tense is formed by the word have or has followed by the past participle of a verb. For instance this introduction has shaken my trust in humanity. Which is a bit extreme, don’t you think? A better example would be all of the song titles in my playlist. Yes, it was another one of my self-indulgent and utterly futile attempts to Make Grammar Great Again (MGGA!) with a Musical Tribute to the Present Perfect Tense.

I AIN’T GOT NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES / Joe Williams / “Ballad & Blues Master”
I’VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU / Ella Fitzgerald / “Ella At Zardi’s”
AFTER YOU’VE GONE / (Mystery Vocalist) / Phil Collins / “50 Years In Music”
I’VE GOT YOUR NUMBER / Lea DeLaria / “Play It Cool”
HAVEN’T WE MET? / Kenny Rankin / “Because Of You”

PLAYLIST FOR “LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN THE MAILBOX!” (5.25.19)

27 May

Instead of a theme, instead of featuring the oft-heard Turntable For One regulars – Sinatra, Tony, Carmen, Ella, Nina, etc. – I put Saturday’s show together with only some of the new music I received in the mail (both physical and virtual) in just the past two weeks. I generously didn’t go into the other things I find in my mail – things like memorial headstone catalogs and threatening letters from Social Security since they found out that I am neither social nor secure. Also: here’s a shout out to all of the singers and musicians listed below – young and old – and to their promoters; without them my audience and I would just have to stare at each other for two hours, and I think we know who would lose that staring contest.
