PLAYLIST FOR “SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT” – SEASON 16 PREMIERE! (8.30.25)

31 Aug

Well, they didn’t change the locks on the front door so after my summer hiatus I was finally back at my Turntable For One. That’s definitely something I could cheer about. To spread the cheers around I found some songs about cheering and singers we could all cheer for. Plus I gave four hearty and heartfelt cheers to the Village Vanguard which turned 90 years old this year.

PLAYLIST FOR “MORE THAN 3 TENORS” (3.19.22)

21 Mar

They were superstars on their own, iconic names who didn’t need first names: Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti. The world loved them; and they loved the world – sometimes a little too literary. When they agreed to sing together, they went from superstars to superheroes: The Three Tenors. Three? Really? That’s all it takes to be adored? I can do better – much better than that! Let the adoration flow because I presented More Than Three Tenors” this week. Of course, I meant, tenor sax players and accompanists plus a few favorite tenor voices as well.
