HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (10.4.14)

1 Oct

HINT:

This week’s show will be selected from the voluminous and vast Turntable For One archives, which is another way of saying, it will be a repeat show from the past. Which program will it be and which musical theme? Well, if you missed it the first time, you can be excused (with a signed note from your doctor). However, if you miss it this time, all I can say is you will really be asking for trouble!

PLAYLIST FOR “SAD SONGS” (9.20.14)

22 Sep

It’s that time of year when millions of people have to confront their S.A.D., their Seasonal Affect Disorder. Mine is usually triggered by the realization that a new season of “Dancing With The Stars” is right around the corner. That’s one of so many things that can make me so, so sad. In honor of my unearned self-pity, this week I presented an hour of wonderful and wonderfully sad songs. Missed it? Boo-hoo for you.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (9.20.14)

17 Sep

HINT: 

There is so much sadness in the world today. It seems anywhere you look, everywhere you turn there’s one sad story after another. Well, you know what they say: you’re either part of the problem or part of the solution. Guess which one I’m going to be this Saturday night!

PLAYLIST FOR “EMBARRASSING SITUATIONS” (9.13.14)

14 Sep

Life is long and more than enough of it is filled with embarrassing situations. It seems to me the least I can do is recognize those situations and totally exploit them by creating an hour of songs about embarrassing moments. Cheating and getting caught? A double embarrassment. Forgetting your keys? That cuts a little too close to home. But worse: forgetting your lyrics. I left that embarrassment for Sinatra and Judy. What? You were expecting empathy? Do I look like Dr. Oz?

SONG TITLE  /  Artist  /  CD Or Album Title

 

  • I CANT TAKE YOU NOWHERE  /  Connie Evingson  /  “Little Did I Dream”
  • DON’T’CHA GO ‘WAY MAD  /  Ella Fitzgerald  /  “Live At The Opera House”
  • DINNER FOR ONE PLEASE, JAMES  /  Joe Williams  /  “Ballad And Blues Master”
  • WHERE ARE MY KEYS  /  Lorraine Feather  /  “Language”
  • YOUNG AT HEART  /  Frank Sinatra  /  “Live At The Sands, November, 1961
  • YOU GO TO MY HEAD  /  Judy Garland  /  “Judy At Carnegie”
  • FEET DO YOUR STUFF  /  Ian Shaw  /  “A Ghost In Every Bar”
  • GUESS WHO I SAW TODAY  /  (Mystery Vocalist)  /  Phyllis Diller  /  “Wet Toe In A Hot Socket”
  • WAITER, OH WAITER  /  Stacey Kent  /  “The Changing Lights”
  • YOU’RE TALKING TOO LOUD  /  Dave Tull  /  “I Just Want To Get Paid”
  • CHAMPAGNE  /  Kat Edmonson  /  “Way Down Low”
  • DID WE HAVE ANY FUN  /  Shepley Metcalf  /  “Something Irresistible”
  • LOOKS LIKE DECEMBER  /  Antonio Carlos Jobim  /  “Christmas For Lovers”
  • SOMETHING COOL  /  Cheryl Bentyne  /  “West Coast Cool”
  • PARIS MISMATCH  /  (Theme Music)  /  Cody Owen Stine  /  “Unreleased Master”

HINT:

Yikes! This is embarrassing. I forgot to put up a hint for this week’s show on Wednesday. I wonder if I can think of anything else that might be embarrassing…

You know, instead of reading and re-reading this a dozen times to try to pass the time until Saturday night, you could be listening to a Turntable For One podcast on PRX, the Public Radio Exchange. I’ll bet you’re the embarrassed one now.

PLAYLIST FOR “OLDIES BUT GOODIES WEEK” (9.6.14)

7 Sep

It was “Oldies But Goodies Week” on the show this week, but I didn’t mean the songs. I meant the singers! To sing on this week’s show you needed to be 70-years-old at least; or if you weren’t 70, you had to be accompanied by (at least) a septuagenarian. By the time I’m in my 70s, I hope still to be cutting my own meat. But look what these singers produced even in the late stages of their careers.  

SONG TITLE  /  Artist  /  CD Or Album Title

 

  • ANYTHING GOES  /  Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga  /  “Cheek To Cheek”
  • WONDER WHY  /  Carmen McRae & Shirley Horn Trio  /  “Sarah – Dedicated To You”
  • LIVING WITHOUT YOU  /  Bill Henderson  /  “Live At The Vic”
  • BABY DREAM YOUR DREAM  /  Marlene VerPlank  /  “Ballads mostly…”
  • THE JUG AND I  /  Ernie Andrews  /  “The L.A. Treasures Project”  
  • ILL WIND  /  Charlie Haden With Nora Jones  /  “Sophisticated ladies”
  • YOUNG AT HEART  /  (Mystery Vocalist)  /  George Burns & Bobby Vinton  /  “As Time Goes By”
  • YOU’D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO  /  Freda Payne  /  “Come Back To me Love”
  • RICH INTERIOR LIFE  /  Ben Sidran  /  “Don’t Cry For No Hipster”
  • MAYBE  /  Lena Horne  /  “An Evening With Lena Horne”
  • OH YOU CRAZY MOON  /  Frank D’Rone  /  “Double Exposure”
  • ALICE IN WONDERLAND  /  Dave Brubeck & Roberta Gambarini  /  “Everybody Wants To Be A Cat”
  • PARIS MISMATCH  /  (Theme Music)  /  Cody Owen Stine  /  (Unreleased Master)

 

I’ll have a new hint for this Saturday’s show on Wednesday. But don’t forget, Turntable For One is always ready to please you. (What else in your life can make that promise?) Click on the link below to listen to a Turntable For One podcast on PRX, The Public Radio Exchange.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (9.6.14)

3 Sep

HINT:  

What’s an “Oldie But Goodie?” To some it’s a classic song by Chuck Berry or  something by Benny or Bartok or Brahms or Beethoven or Bach. But I have a totally different answer. Tune in this Saturday night to hear what it is, along with an hour of great jazz vocals!”

PLAYLIST FOR “COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA” (8.30.14)

30 Aug

Summer is over which means time to put away put away your whites, your shorts, your suntan lotion, and reflect on the things we did last summer that we’ll remember all winter long — except I had one of those “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” summers when I didn’t do any of the things I wanted and meant to do. Am I bitter? No more than usual. Am I depressed? (See previous response.) Because I have developed the useful skill of turning my pain in art…well, actually, other people do all the art. So are some of my favorite “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” songs by some of the best new and old jazz singers. Check back on Wednesday for a hint about next Saturday night’s show.

SONG TITLE  /  Artist  /  Album or CD Title

 

  • I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT  /  Frank Sinatra  /  “Come Dance With Me”
  • WOULDN’T IT BE LOVERLY?  /  Shirley Horn  /  “I Love You, Paris”
  • I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU  /  Nat Cole  /  “Tell Me All About Yourself”
  • IF I HAD YOU  /  Nnenna Freelon  /  “Jazz Moods: Mood Indigo”
  • I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU  /  Arthur Prysock/Count Basie  /  “Arthur Prysock & Count Basie”
  • IT SHOULDN’T HAPPEN TO A DREAM  /  Diane Marino  /  “Loads Of Love”
  • WHY SHOULDN’T I  / (Mystery Vocalist)  /  Tony Perkins  /  “The Very Best of Tony Perkins”
  • I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN  /  Brianna Thomas  /  “You Must Believe In Love”
  • IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU  /  Frank D’Rone  /  “Falling In Love With Love”
  • IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW  /  Sarah Vaughan  /  “Send In The Clowns”

I’M BAAAAACK!!! HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (8.30.14)

27 Aug

Well, the wait is almost over! Of course, I mean for the iPhone 6. But while you’re waiting, who says you can’t have a little fun listening to the new season of Turntable For One starting this Saturday, August 30th? To ratchet up the excitement and anticipation someone besides me must be feeling, how about a hint about this Saturday night’s musical theme?

HINT: 

The songs this week are all inspired by everything I wanted to do, planned to do, and didn’t do during my summer hiatus. 

(Use what you know – that’s what I always say…)  Talk to you Saturday night!
