PLAYLIST FOR “SO LONELY I COULD CRY” (1.9.16)

10 Jan

As Turntable For One moves into its new time-slot (now 9:00-11:00 PM) I wanted to do a show about being all alone in the radio station since my friend, Dan Lenore, has retired his show which preceded mine.  I thought that paying tribute to him would be easier than paying back the money I owe him. I’ll let you know how that turns out.

WHY IS THIS MAN SMILING? #jazz #jazzradio #jazzsingers

2 Jan

IMG_1149

Why is this man smiling? (Sadly, this is what actually passes for this man smiling.) He’s smiling because starting tonight, January 2nd, his radio show, Turntable For One, moves to 9:00 PM with two hours of great jazz vocals interrupted occasionally by this man talking and, perhaps, even smiling – who can tell? It’s radio.

The theme for this first two-hour show: Music That Changed My Life!

Happy New Year, everyone!

PLAYLIST FOR “6TH ANNUAL MUSIC TO BE THANKFUL FOR SHOW” (11.28.15)

30 Nov

This is always a special show for me because I invite a number of my broadcasting colleagues at the radio station to play music for which they’ve been thankful during the past year. I think it makes all of us at the station even more thankful for the opportunity to play music we love for our audiences. (For more info about the broadcasters, go to wmnr.org) And because this show always comes around my birthday, I’m also joined every year in the studio and on the air by the people I am most thankful for – my wife and my son.
