PLAYLIST FOR “BAD HABITS” – AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST – 2.8.25

9 Feb

Had to take a “snow day” and play a show from the archive. Don’t want to make a habit of it, but snow happens. Here’s what I said about the show in 2021:

We all have them. We may try to hide them with varying degrees of success or failure because – let’s face it – they totally reveal us, they embarrass us, and the worst ones can  actually define us for the rest of our lives. Of course I’m talking about our high school yearbook photos. Of course I’m not talking about our high school yearbook photos. I’m talking about Bad Habits. So it was nothing but Bad Habits this week – ranging from binge watching to smoking, drinking, co-dependence. magical thinking, and more. I’d go on but I’ve been told that rambling is a bad habit.

PLAYLIST FOR “WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION” – SEASON 14 OPENER (9.9.23)

11 Sep

Well, they didn’t change the locks at the radio station, so I was back live to start a new season. Was I any less self-involved? Do you mean, did I learn anything over my summer vacation? I think this week’s theme answers that silly question. I played music in tribute to some of my travels and tossed in a few songs about thing I didn’t do. I finished the show with some of the music that caught my ear while I was away. Was anyone happy to have me back? Gee, I forgot to ask that question.

PLAYLIST FOR “THE MORE THE MERRIER” (2.18.23)

20 Feb

Usually I play 20-24 different singers, musicians, Mystery Vocalists each week. This week I challenged myself to play more. My goal was 57 different artists. Originally, my plan was play something by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, say Good Night, and go home. But because the choir threatened to sue me if I even mentioned their name on my show – probably for elder abuse – I had to come up with a different solution.

PLAYLIST FOR “TESTING POSITIVE” (1.7.23)

8 Jan

All my life people have been telling me, You’re so negative? Why don’t you try to be more positive. Well, for the past month I have been positive – and I’ve been miserable!  Because I have been testing positive on one damned Covid test after another. Those tests have been the most depressing tests I’ve taken since the Myers-Briggs Personality test. But, finally, after a month, I was back, testing negative – and that’s good, right?  But that’s not the way things are supposed to be. Being Negative – that’s not good.  It’s bad. Being positive?  That’s good.  I’m very confused. So I brought a bunch of songs to see which ones Test Positive – in a good way ! -and it was good to be back at my Turntable For One.

PLAYLIST FOR “HALLOWEEN PARTY 2022” – (10.29.22)

31 Oct

One of my favorite shows of the year, not just because I get to play some favorite Halloween songs, but because when trick or treaters come to the door, I get to guess who they’re dressed up as. Of course, instead of handing out candy, I play a song that matches their costume. This year, somehow, a cat rang the doorbell, so I played a couple songs in honor of National Cat Day. By the way – and no surprise here – Holly Cole won the prize for the spookiest song. It may not be a Halloween song, but it’s fabulously scary, if you ask me.
