“April is the cruelest month.” Cruelest?? Ok, I can work with that. Maybe we’d better agree on a “safe word” just in case…

HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (3.7.12)
4 AprEver wondered what Turntable For One would sound like if the host were cool, calm, and collected? You have? Really? Well, putting aside the fact that now my feelings are hurt, I have some good news for you. Your wondering days are over. Will Duchon, host of Friday Evening Classics and The Night Cafe, Fridays on WMNR, has been kind enough to agree to host Turntable For One this Saturday night while I take the weekend off to renew my poetic license. You like great jazz vocals? You like a host who’s knowledgeable and personable? Don’t get used to it. I’ll be back in a week. Will has chosen a musical theme for the show. Want a hint?
HINT:
What can be killed if you have too much of it, but can’t be replaced if you run out of it?
For the musical answer, and an hour of great jazz vocals, join Will Duchon this week on Turntable For One. And I’ll talk to you next week.

14 MarHint:
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?

PLAYLIST FOR “WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL” (3.10.12)
11 MarThanks 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.
