HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.24.11)
21 DecFooled you! There is no hint because there is no show this Saturday.
Check back next Wednesday for a hint about the New Year’s Eve show as we spend the penultimate hour of 2011 together. Anyone up for a dramatic reading of No Exit?
Have a wonderful holiday and I’ll talk to you just before the New Year…
HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.10.11)
6 DecHINT:
The fault for this week’s theme lies not in ourselves, dear Brutus, but in the stars…
Live radio! This Saturday night at 10:00 on WMNR-FM and WMNR.org
HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12/3/11)
30 NovHint:
It can happen to chords, to horizons, to a generation, even to Paradise. But that’s only half the story. The rest will be found by listening Saturday night at 10:00 PM.
In other news, I will be sitting in for Will Duchon at The Night Cafe, Friday night at 10:00 on WMNR with an hour of jazz vocals. And this time I promise: no out-of-control Silly String and no police. Check out the show’s Facebook page for more details.

HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (11/26/11)
23 NovHow’s this for a hint? The theme is “Music We’re Thankful For.” I announced that weeks ago, so you don’t have to guess this week. Aren’t you thankful for that already?
Tune in to hear my choices, plus music other broadcasters at the station and listeners are thankful for, too.

HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (11/19/11)
16 NovWe all know the three B’s — Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered. Well, this week I’m playing songs of the three D’s.
To make it easier, the following are all incorrect guesses: Diastolic, Distemper, Diaspora, Diminutive, Dissolute, Decadent, Diaphanous, Dips.
Hope that helps. Keep at it. You’ve got till Saturday night at 10:00 to figure it out.
By the way…I’ll be sitting in for Will Duchon this Friday night at 10:00 on Will’s show, “The Night Cafe.” Same great music, new questionable guest host. Check out the show’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Friday-Evening-ClassicsThe-Night-Cafe-with-Will-Duchon/282954118397857

HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (11.12.11)
9 NovHint:
What do these couples have in common? Othello and Desdemona, Hedda and Jergen, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, Liz Taylor and Eddie Fisher, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Brown, J-Lo and Marc? And is it really possible to come up with a new and exciting musical game about this stuff that you can play at home? Tune in Saturday night at 10:00 to find out.
HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S SHOW (11.5.11)
1 NovHINT:
Saturday’s live show will take a lesson and its theme from a boy who is more often than not a girl.
But before you assume the obvious, just how many transgender songs can you think of to fill an hour? Me, too. So that’s clearly not the answer.
More important, perhaps, is the fact that the above hint will only apply to this Saturday’s live show IF there is a live show. Last week’s snow storm knocked out most of WMNR’s Eastern Shore transmitters and its internet streaming. Oh, and more than half of the state of Connecticut, too. So it’s possible the station won’t be all the way back by Saturday; possible, too, that nearly no one will be listening.
How is that different from every other week?
Hope I beat you to that joke…
As long as you’re here, why not click on “Thanksgiving Show” (in the upper right-hand corner) and help me put together the November 26th, “Music To Be Thankful” show?
Talk to you this Saturday, I hope.
HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S HALLOWEEN SHOW
26 OctI hope you’re ready this week for the annual Turntable For One Halloween program — so, why do you need a hint to figure out the theme? Because, of course, it’s not that simple nor straight-forward.
HINT:
All of Saturday’s featured Halloween artists are totally and entirely sinister.
So, now in the time left before Saturday, you’ll be left to your own devices to figure it out. Don’t be left in the lurch, nor left at the starting gate, because then you’ll definitely be left out in the cold.
If you think you know the answer, leave me a comment below.
Or, listen for the answer on Turntable For One, Saturday at 10:00 pm. Live radio on WMNR, Fine Arts Radio, and wmnr.org
And by the way…if anyone shows up Saturday night wearing the same costume I’m wearing, I’m going to be very upset.
HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S SHOW (10.22.11)
19 OctWant to guess the theme for Turntable For One this week? Read the hint below.
HINT:
This hint contains many obvious clues, but they’re all pretty obscure, so this is probably way too difficult to figure out. Hey – don’t be a quitter. But it’s important always to be a realist, too. Still, what’s more satisfying than finally mastering a difficult task? But you’ve seen the studies about how repeated failure leads inevitably to frustration, self-doubt, and, depression, right?
Figured out my theme yet? No? Keep at it, though it’s probably futile.
Or, listen for the answer on Turntable For One, Saturday at 10:00 pm. Live radio on WMNR, Fine Arts Radio, and wmnr.org
