PLAYLIST FOR “LYRICALLY, THE BERGMANS” 3.30.24

1 Apr

What do these people have in common? Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt…Frankenstein & the Bride of Frankenstein…Bonnie & Clyde…Marilyn & Alan Bergman? If you said that all of them are famous husband and wife songwriting teams – I really want to see you record collection! I chose to spend a couple hours playing the songs of my two favorites of that bunch.

PLAYLIST FOR “LET’S AGREE TO DISAGREE” (10.5.19)

5 Oct

We’re divided. I mean, really divided. We don’t agree about good guys or bad guys, we don’t agree about facts or truth, we don’t agree about ice cream being its own food group – wait, that one is just me trying to convince my wife. But all the other stuff is true!. You’d think that someone who has a microphone every week would do what he could to try to bridge the divides and bring people together. Go ahead and think that all you want, but that’s not how I roll. This week even my songs disagreed with each other. One thing was inarguable, however. I played a couple dozen outstanding singers.
