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

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.

12 Dec

It’s that time of year again. The season of Peace On Earth and Good Will toward Men. How’s that going so far? Not great, I know. Why not? I think this is clearly another example of a supply chain problem. Still, there are some who have tried to spread holiday spirit undaunted by pandemics and politics and vaccination vexations.

PLAYLIST FOR “GRADUATION DAY 2018” – AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST (5.23.20)

24 May

I didn’t record a new show (from home) this week. Instead I went wandering through the Turntable For One archives looking for my lost youth and innocence. No luck there, but I did find this program from June a couple of years ago, which seems now like a far distant world ago. Funny how my old themes seem less ironic and more poignant these upside-down days… This is what I said two years ago:

How about 2 hours of intelligent and coherent and compact commencement speeches and graduation messages without having to sit in the sun and wait two hour to see your kid walk across the stage and graduate in 15 seconds? Don’t try to thank me. Just doing my job.

PLAYLIST FOR “SELF-DECEPTION” (5.16.20)

17 May

The question people ask me the most is “What’s the best thing about being on the radio?” (It’s also the one question people ask me I could read on the air without upsetting the FCC.) I always tell people the best thing is talking to thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people. Of course, the truth is (especially these days) I’m home, in my office, talking into a microphone, and the only thing listening to me is my computer (and, like my audience, it occasionally drops off to sleep). Okay, so maybe I should tell people the really best thing about being on the radio is having an opportunity week after week to indulge my insatiable capacity for self-deception. Fine. I said it. Happy now? But I’m not alone. All of these songs are about people deceiving and fooling themselves about something – with some variations of self-awareness tossed in there.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

FOOLIN’ MYSELF / Shirley Horn / “You Won’t Forget Me”
I WISH I WERE N LOVE AGAIN / Tony Bennett / “Perfectly Frank”

WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR / Alexis Cole / “Someday My Prince will Come”
DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME / (Mystery Vocalist) / Fiona Apple, Jeff Goldblum, Mildred Snitzer Orch. / “I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This”
I SHOULD CARE / Christian McBride Big Band / “The Good Feeling”
I WALK A LITTLE FASTER / Blossom Dearie / “Give Him The Oo-La-La”
TALK TO ME BABY / Frank Sinatra / “Softly, As I Leave You”
BLAME IT ON MY YOUTH / Holly Cole / “The Best Of Holly Cole”
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE / Mark Jennett / “The Way I Am”
DON’T EXPLAIN / Nina Simone / “Let It all Out”
PRIVATE GUY / Ben Sidran / “Don’t Cry For No Hipster”
THE LIES OF HANDSOME MEN / Christy Baron / “Take The Journey”
LIVING WITHOUT YOU / Bill Henderson / “Bill Henderson Live At The Vic”
I KEEP GOING BACK TO JOE’S / Annie Sellick / “Street Of Dreams”
I GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VERY WELL / (Mystery Vocalist) / Kenny Rogers / “Timepiece”
EASTWOOD LANE / Connie Evingson / “Little Did I Dream”
A LITTLE TASTE / Dave Frishberg / “Dave Frishberg Classics”

PLAYLIST FOR “TEACHABLE MOMENTS” (2.22.20)

23 Feb

I thought when you experience a Teachable Moment, you’re supposed to reflect and even have a change of heart. The only reflection I’m seeing these days is in my mirror – and I’m not too happy with those results either. So I played a couple hours of songs about people confronting difficult situations in hopes that the music and messages might be helpful and instructive. Probably it instructed people to turn off their radios. Not exactly what I had planned.
