PLAYLIST FOR “MONARCHY MANIA” (5.6.23)

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.

PLAYLIST FOR “SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN” (9.23.17)

24 Sep

I’ve been watching with horror the images of the millions of people whose only fault was being in the path of Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria. Will we ever be able to think about rain benignly again the way so many popular song writers have?

PLAYLIST FOR “CELEBRATING MOTHERS” (5.7.16)

9 May

A program for all the mothers in the audience, and for a change I meant it in a literal sense, not as a nasty pejorative. So it was two-hours of music about being a mother, caring for their kids, worrying about their kids, and advising their kids – any of which can be taken to an uncomfortable extreme…but maybe that’s just my story.

ME, MYSELF, AND I / Randy Crawford / “Live”

LOOK AT THAT FACE / Greta Matassa / “Favorites From A Long Walk”
THAT FACE / Joe Williams / “Jump For Joy”
BITTER WITH THE SWEET / Jenna Mammina & Rolf Sturm / “Spark”
BUTTON UP YOUR OVERCOAT / (Mystery Vocalist) / Jack Lemmon / “A Twist Of Lemon”
LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING / Helen Merrill / “Mixes”
THROW IT AWAY / Connie Evingson / “Stockholm Sweetnin’”
BIG BAD WORLD / The Real Group / “Commonly Unique”
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU / Frank D’Rone / “Falling In Love With Love”
LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES / Carmen McRae / The Ultimate Carmen McRae
BE A CHILD / Marlene VerPlanck / “Marlene VerPlanck Sings Alec Wilder”
GUILTY / Sophie Milman / “Sophie Milman”
MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY / (Mystery Daughter) / Jacqui Dankworth / “It Happens Quietly”
I’M SHADOWING YOU / (Mystery Mother) Cleo Laine / “Quintessential Cleo”
ALWAYS / Rosemary Clooney / “Mothers & Daughters”
THEY CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME / Diana Krall / “Love Scenes”
BLUES IN THE NIGHT / Frank Sinatra / “Only The Lonely”
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT A THING / Joann Funk / “Jazz In the Lobby Bar”
WHAT’LL I DO / Tierney Sutton / “Dancing In The Dark”
A CHILD IS BORN / Oscar Peterson / “Christmas For Lovers”
THIS BITTER EARTH / Randy Crawford / “Live”
