NO SHOW…NO PLAYLIST…BUT HERE’S A BONUS!
25 DecHope everyone is having a wonderful holiday. Turntable For One took a break this week, getting ready for the New Year’s Eve show. Resolve to be listening Saturday night, December 31st at 10:00 PM.
Meanwhile, a friend sent me the link below, knowing that I am always looking for ways to increase my audience.

So, Saturday night? You’ll be there, right? With bells on? Or not…
HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.24.11)
21 DecFooled you! There is no hint because there is no show this Saturday.
Check back next Wednesday for a hint about the New Year’s Eve show as we spend the penultimate hour of 2011 together. Anyone up for a dramatic reading of No Exit?
Have a wonderful holiday and I’ll talk to you just before the New Year…

PLAYLIST – LOST AND FOUND
4 DecHere’s last night’s Playlist.
By the way: Congratulations to COS for your comment on the blog this week and for your correct guess of the theme. (See the comment under this week’s hint.) Sorry I couldn’t work the Carmen McRae song you suggested into the playlist, but its title duplicates the current working title of my memoirs.
This Wednesday, a new clue. Talk to you next week.

30 NovHint:
It can happen to chords, to horizons, to a generation, even to Paradise. But that’s only half the story. The rest will be found by listening Saturday night at 10:00 PM.
In other news, I will be sitting in for Will Duchon at The Night Cafe, Friday night at 10:00 on WMNR with an hour of jazz vocals. And this time I promise: no out-of-control Silly String and no police. Check out the show’s Facebook page for more details.

PLAYLIST – THE THREE D’s
20 NovAs a public service, this week’s show focussed a penetrating light on a serious, while completely fabricated problem: the number of songs about the Distracted, the Deluded, or the Distraught.

Next Saturday, the annual Thanksgiving show. Talk to you next week.
