PLAYLIST FOR “DOs & DON’Ts” 9.13.25

15 Sep

Dos and Don’ts – we’ve heard them all our lives! Don’t talk unless your raise your hand. Don’t bring candy to school unless you bring enough for everyone. Don’t lock your little sister in the closet…maybe that’s just me. And later we all heard: Do call your mother! Just to add insult to injury, salt to the wound, a poke to the eye, I played two more hours of DOs & DON’TS.

Are we on the right track or the wrong track? It’s a question and a concern for many many people these days. Did I have the answers?

What do these things have in common?

PLAYLIST FOR “MONARCHY MANIA” (5.6.23)

7 May

Something historic happened today; something that hasn’t happened in 70 years.  No, I’m not talking about me getting  back on the uneven parallel bars. I’m talking about the coronation of a new king and queen in the United Kingdom.  Whatever you think of the royal family, I thought it was a relief to focus on pomp and circumstance for a few hours instead of pomposity and circumstantial evidence. To continue my good feelings, I brought a bowl of Royal butterscotch pudding and a bun with Royal icing for snacks. I wrote my opening on my trusty Royal 10 typewriter, and I hummed the Royal Garden Blues on my drive to the radio station. Clearly I was feeling a royal flush, so I celebrated Monarchy Mania his week with lots of songs about royalty and songs by British and American music royalty.
