HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME 11.30.13)

27 Nov

HINT:

For the past three years on the Saturday night after Thanksgiving I’ve been presenting the Annual Turntable For One Music To Be Thankful For program, with some of the songs and singers who have made my year happier and a little less desultory than expected. Some of the radio station’s other broadcasters also get involved with music they’re thankful for this year, too. 

So, anyone want to guess what I’ll be doing this Saturday night?

HINT:

Chewing gum and walking? Difficult. Patting your head and rubbing your stomach? A true challenge. Binge watching “America’s Got Talent” and forming a complete sentence? Damned near impossible! So now let’s really put multi-tasking to the test. Do you think there are some singers and musicians who’ll be up to it?

HINT:

There are happy endings and sad endings, triumphant endings and tragic endings, simple and convoluted endings. Okay, but what about my favorite kind of ending? Want to hear about a dozen of those songs? I do!

HINT:

Boy meets girl — Haven’t we met?, says he. Be careful it’s my heart, says she. Then boy loses girl and suddenly in the wee small hours in my solitude it’s quarter to three, there’s no one in the  place except you and me, and can’t I have a second chance, and on and on and on… Doesn’t anyone write songs about anything else? Tune in Saturday night and find out!

HINT:

January 3, 1970 – definitely!

HINT:

I’m very concerned about people’s eating habits, and I’m very concerned about people’s listening habits. Hey – maybe there’s a way for me to deal with both at the same time!

This week’s show will feature a line-up of the usual suspects who are guilty as charged when it comes to swing. But it will be a crime if you can’t guess what else they all have in common!
