PLAYLIST FOR “FOOD & DRINK WEEK” (11.20.20)

22 Nov

Many people are choosing not to gather for Thanksgiving this year and choosing instead to be safe and smart. (It’s only for one year.) So I thought I’d celebrate with some delicious songs about food and drink along with some food for thought from Nina Simone and some food for the soul from Imelda May with Jeff Goldblum. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Be sure to tune in next week for a very special show, the 11th Annual Turntable For One Music To Be Thankful For show.

PLAYLIST FOR “LET’S CELEBRATE RECORD STORE DAY!! (4.21.12)

We kicked it old school last night – no CDs and no prepared playlist or notes. Instead I pulled a couple dozen old vinyl albums and played what I felt like at the moment. Twice the fun? Not exactly.  Twice the chaos? Sure. Still, perhaps thought and impulse control haven’t been getting their due these days.
