PLAYLIST FOR “MY FAVORITE FOUR-LETTER WORDS” (AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST) 11.8.25

10 Nov

Played a show from 2023 this week, though two hours of four-letter words still seems appropriate for the times.  Maybe even more. I wrote this the first time I posted the show: 

Since it’s an election year, we’re going to be hearing a lot of four-letter words. I thought I’d start the ball rolling with some of my favorites: Love, Luck, Hope, Life, Song, and, of course, one of my most favorites of favorites, Tony.

PLAYLIST FOR “LOVE AND MARRIAGE…AND MUSIC” (2.1.14)

1 Feb

Every week I try to play some of the best marriages of words and music, singer and arranger, what’s written on the sheet music and what’s created in a singer’s mind. This week I also focussed on singers and musicians who are married in a more literal way. Whether they sing together, sing and play, sing and arrange, just about everyone I played is also husband and wife. And by including Mickey Rooney and his 8th wife, I was also able to reinforce the precept that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
