HINT FOR THIS WEEK’S MUSICAL THEME (2.16.19)

12 Feb

HINT:

Valentine’s Day. Who doesn’t remember all those old fashioned romantic games, like avoiding eye contact with a creepy boy while you steal sips of his soda? Seems like Life and Love were both a lot simpler back then. Want to hear how complicated they are now? Tune in this week.

 

Turntable For One   Jazz Vocals   Saturday Nights 9-11 PM (E.S.T.)

PLAYLIST FOR “KICKING IT ‘OLD’ SCHOOL” (2.9.19)

10 Feb

I don’t get it why people are so negative about the word, old. Some of our greatest songwriters have used that word in some of their greatest songs. And some of our youngest singers are giving new voice to these old songs. I say, this grievous mistake must be corrected. (Or am I just up to my old tricks, trying to fill two hours with music? You be the judge…)

HINT FOR THIS WEEK’S MUSICAL THEME (2.9.19)

6 Feb

HINT:

We’ve all heard the same expressions; they’ve been drilled into us since we were very young: there’s no fool like an old fool; you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, that’s old hat, that’s old news, it’s just the same old same old… Just about every time you hear the word OLD, it’s negative and disparaging.  Not this week, not on my show!

PLAYLIST FOR “GROUNDHOG DAY!” (2.2.19)

Explain to me again why we created a holiday to honor an ugly, destructive rodent and a misguided superstition while continuing to discredit the value of scientific facts in our lives?

HINT FOR THIS WEEK’S MUSICAL THEME (1.26.19)

23 Jan

HINT:

 

I think there are two types of people in this world. They don’t see eye to eye, they don’t understand each other, and they don’t always get along. I’ll explain what I mean  Saturday night. BTW: It’s probably not what you’re thinking. These photos are actually a good clue.

PLAYLIST FOR ” A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN” (1.12.19)

13 Jan

Turntable For One is all about problems – certainly not solving them, more like creating them, exacerbating them, and at the very least exploiting them. So this week I tackled the problem of the government shutdown. What did I do? I played music, of course, but I also dedicated the program to the 800,000 federal employees who have gone from figuring out how to live paycheck to paycheck to how to live no paycheck to no paycheck. The President said he didn’t want to call this a shutdown. I agree. How about travesty?

PLAYLIST FOR “PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS FOR 2019” (1.5.19)

The year in music didn’t start on a happy note. Kellye Gray, a unique and passionate singer died suddenly. Still, with all of these interesting new singers and all of the music being released we’ve never heard before from singers and musicians we know and love, I tried to tell my audience 2019 was going to be a good year for Turntable For One. (I’d say it was like preaching to the choir, but I don’t think any choirs listen to my show.)
