HINT FOR THE SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (10.19.13)

16 Oct

HINT:

January 3, 1970 – definitely!

July 12, 1981 – unquestionably.  

January 25, 1987 – that’s another!

Those are a few of mine. You probably have your own. I’ll be playing about a dozen songs about them.

PLAYLIST FOR LAST SATURDAY NIGHT’S SHOW (10.5.13)

7 Oct

Couldn’t do a live show this week so I had to scour the Turntable For One archives to find a previously-aired program which would meet the high standards and rigid requirements dictated by great radio programming. However, I gave up after about three minutes and just chose this show from December 2012.  

Hope to be back this Saturday.  

Here’s a link to the playlist in case you want to know a song title, artist, or CD title.

UH-OH

4 Oct

Because of the government shutdown, Turntable For One has been furloughed this week as non-essential. That’s their story. My story is I’m under the weather and won’t be going into the station this week. 

Enjoy a show from the archives this Saturday night and I’ll talk to you next week.

HINT:

I’m very concerned about people’s eating habits, and I’m very concerned about people’s listening habits. Hey – maybe there’s a way for me to deal with both at the same time!

HINT:

This week’s show will feature a line-up of the usual suspects who are guilty as charged when it comes to swing. But it will be a crime if you can’t guess what else they all have in common!
