PLAYLIST FOR “GOING TO EXTREMES” 10.19.24

20 Oct

It can describe the weather – especially these days; it can describe a variety of sports events; it can describe powerful emotions. This week it described Turntable For One because I spent two hours going to extremes. Plus an affectionate salute and thank you to Terry Gibbs in celebration of his 100th birthday.

PLAYLIST FOR “DELUGE OF DILEMMAS” 9.8.24

9 Sep

When they come, they may be small, they may be large; they may come one at a time or maybe in bunches. You don’t always see them coming, but they’re coming. 

Of course I’m talking about mosquito bites.  No — I’m talking about Dilemmas – those tricky speed bumps life throws at us.  You know, Which is better: fire or ice?  Window or aisle?  Or the one that vexes me most: fries or side salad? 

How about these songs for a deluge of dilemmas?
