Hint:
This Saturday is a special holiday, a holiday that inspires people to gather, to march in parades, get drunk, and be rowdy — Saturday is National Submarine Day, but forget about it. Anyone know of any other holiday we could celebrate with some great jazz vocals?

Thanks for sharing Lawrence Welk’s birthday celebration with me. I will always think of him as one of those musical soldiers, who, even in the face of Daylight Saving Time, was always trying to turn the clocks back. In weeks to come you won’t want to miss other stirring Turntable For One tributes to those singers and musicians who helped make music what it is today, by retiring, giving up, getting into debilitating fistfights, and/or opening up dry cleaning shops. Bless them all.
I’ll put up a hint about next week’s show on Wednesday, and talk to you next week.

It’s his birthday this Sunday! He’s 109 years old! He won’t be at Saturday night’s Turntable For One party; neither will a single note of his music. But because of him, it’s going to be a wonderful, wonderful show!
Listen this Saturday night for an hour of great jazz vocals, plus must-have information regarding the imminent transition to Daylight Savings Time.

In honor of National “What If Pets Had Thumbs Day” — and I’m not making that up — we had an evening of anatomically correct bodily parts songs. Next week we’ll celebrate the birthday of a special musician — by ignoring him completely. Look for a clue on Wednesday.

“Head bone’s connected to the neck bone; neck bone’s connected to back bone; back bone’s connected to the thigh bone…” Getting the picture? No, not Angelina Jolie!
This week on Turntable For One, the naming of parts.

Here is the list of winners of the Turntable For One Awards. I’ve heard grumblings from some of the losers that, unlike the Oscars, it was not an honor just to be nominated. I guess they’ve never heard of burning bridges before they’ve crossed them…

Tonight’s Turntable for One, a lesson in the proper use of the preposition (not to be confused with the improper use of the proposition) was another in our continuing educational series, “No Listener Left Behind.” In weeks to come, don’t miss invaluable lectures on recognizing a direct object, preferably before you hit it and examples of the passive voice in ventriloquism. You’ve been warned.

HINT:
This week, Turntable For One pays tribute to one of songwriting’s most useful elements. Every great songwriter, generation after generation, knows this element can definitely be the first word in creating a classic song, but it should never be the last. Without this, songwriters – and their audiences – could never be In The Know, nor Out In Front, nor even Above The Fray.
For the answer to this week’s hint and 83% of Life’s mysteries, tune in at 10:00, Saturday night. If you’re late, the number automatically drops to 75%.

Hint:
February 14th is Valentine’s Day and National Ferris Wheel Day. Guess which one I’ll be celebrating this week…
Plus, this week, the war of words with Night Cafe host, Will Duchon, reaches its apotheosis.
