HINT FOR THIS WEEK’S MUSICAL THEME (9.25.21)

22 Sep

HINT:

 

Here’s the Turntable For One gang gearing up to do our part for the WMNR Fall Fundraising Drive. (I’ve been told that this year the guns are probably filled with blanks). Saturday night I’ll be taking calls and taking names (and pledges). I’ll also be dropping a few subliminal hints to call me by playing all kinds of songs about telephones.

Well, I didn’t quite make it in for the Fall season premiere. I’ll have to try that again next week. Instead we listened to a favorite show from a couple years ago. Here’s what I said about then:

I believe there are two kinds of people in the world – morning people and night people. I vote for the latter because they have the good sense and good taste to stay up and listen to my show.  But I played songs for both just in case…

PLAYLIST FOR “REDUX” (3.20.21)

21 Mar

I divided the show into two parts this week, one part the traditional Turntable For One party for St. Patrick’s Day, replete with Irish singers and musicians, Irish-American singers and musicians, and the most important Turntable for One tradition of all: me eating a bowl of Lucky Charms on the air. To celebrate the fact that this was my first live show from the station in a long, long while, in the second part of the show I shared some of the music that helped get me through the last 12 months of sheltering in place. So nice to be back, like Spring flowers, green grass, and seasonal allergies.
