HINT FOR THE FINAL SHOW…OF 2016. (12.31.16)

28 Dec

HINT: 

While I’m working day and night on my resolutions for the new year – right now I’ve got them down to three categories: “Possible”, “Unlikely”, and “In Your Dreams” – I thought we could end the year by listening again to my favorite show from 2016.  Maybe it’s one of your favorites, too; maybe it’s not. But do you really want the year to end with an argument?

Happy New Year one and all, wherever you are.

NEWS AND A HINT ABOUT THIS SATURDAY (12.10.16)

8 Dec

HOT NEWS:

This Saturday I’ll be sitting in for Garrett Stack on his program, Broadway Bound, two hours of the best of Broadway musicals from today and. well, from before today.  Saturday 4-6 PM.

TURNTABLE FOR ONE HINT:

After playing two hours of music from Broadway, I thought I’d play music from another medium that gave us tons and tons of great songs – and I don’t mean me singing in the shower, although I could mean me singing in the rain…
