HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (5.2.15) #jazz #jazzradio #jazzvocals

29 Apr

HINT: 

Beginning Friday and for the next 7 days, my radio station, WMNR, will be celebrating its first-ever “Theme Week.” The theme this week will be “New Beginnings” and many of the broadcasters — classical, folk, and jazz — will be playing music that fits the theme. Will I bend and yield to such conformity? All I can say is, “Baaaa,”

HINT:

Sometimes you just know; it’s obvious, it’s inevitable, it’s irrefutable and you know that things just aren’t going to end well – A Kafka novel, a Schlesinger movie, Kim Kardashian’s presidential bid. Are there any musical examples? I wonder…
