PLAYLIST FOR “A LITTLE LOVE TO UNLOVED LYRICISTS” 12.7.24

9 Dec

I don’t think a week has gone by when I haven’t played songs with lyrics by Larry Hart or Cole Porter or the Bergmans, or Ira Gershwin – until this week! I’m gave all those guys the night off and instead, focussed on lyricists whose songs we know – but their names… not so much. I spent the evening singing the praises of  such talented lyricists as Bob Russell, Caroll Coates, Bob Haymes, Peggy Lee, Ed Hayman, and others. Well, fortunately for my audience, I let other, more qualified people do the singing.

PLAYLIST FOR “MANNERS MATTER” 11.18.23

19 Nov

What on earth is going on?  Punching in the house of representatives.  Senators challenging witnesses to fight.  Road rage.  Parking lot rage; grocery store rage. What’s next? Library rage?  People: What are you thinking?  What do you need?  Maybe lessons in good manners?  Okay.  We can do that – because this week on Turntable For One, Manners Matter.  Good manners teach us how to dress, what to say (and not say), how to be courteous and kind. Plus I threw in a few bad manners just for contrast. Well, don’t say I didn’t try.
