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 “OSCAR NIGHT 2024!” 3.9.24

11 Mar

My traditional Pre-Academy Awards show when I play Oscar winner and losers. This year I wanted to do something different…maybe feature the music of Oscar Hammerstein, or Oscar Peterson or Oscar Levant…or list 101 things you can do with an Oscar Myer wiener. (The WMNR legal team gave that a “thumbs down” in a nano-second.) Then I thought, what about songs that didn’t get nominated? Don’t they need some love? So this year I featured Winners (W), and Losers (L), plus great songs that got Snubbed (S)!

PLAYLIST FOR “AN EXERCISE IN EXERCISING” (6.25.22)

27 Jun

Until recently my exercise regimen consisted of Running my mouth, Stretching the truth; Rushing to judgment; and Leaping to all the wrong conclusions. Those days are gone. Now I have a Life Coach telling me when to sleep, when to wake up, when to stand, and how far to walk and on and on. And there’s no way I can tell this Life Coach to put a cork in it because my Life Coach isn’t a person – it’s an Apple Watch that’s become the boss of me. So if I have to endure this torture, of course, my audience had to endure the torture with two-hours of songs about exercise. I’d write more but my damned watch is telling me it’s time to stand!

PLAYLIST FOR “WINNING SINGERS-LOSING SONGS” (4.24.21)

25 Apr

It’s time for the Oscars again. And, yes, you can fault the Oscars for being over-the-top – over the top egos, over the top vanity, over the top self-adulation. On the other hand, what do people who don’t win usually say? “It’s an honor just to be nominated.” And I can’t remember anyone at the Oscars insisting the voting was rigged or asking for a recount. I’m just saying… So in honor of the Academy Awards, I brought back a longtime Turntable for One tradition, listening to some wonderful Oscar nominated songs. Not the winners! Instead I presented a couple of hours of winning singers singing Oscar losing songs.

PLAYLIST FOR “NOSTALGIA NIGHT” – AN ARCHIVE PRESENTATION (3.10.18)

11 Mar

I replayed a show from last November because I couldn’t do a live show this week and, considering all the horrendous things that haves happened just since November, I’ve taken to longing for the good old days — of not so long ago. It was nostalgic for when I was smart and my phone was dumb, when a blue state was just me having a bad day, and when Harvey was a six-foot invisible rabbit you really wanted to see and not a creep you never want to see again. We can’t live in the past, but I don’t mind an occasional visit. I’ll be back from my trip down memory lane and in the studio next Saturday night.
