HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (3.30.13)
28 MarHINT:
The first question asked of a composer and lyricist, whether a team or one person: “Which comes first, the words or the melody?” You won’t have to ask that about the songs I’m playing this week because there will be no doubt!

PLAYLIST FOR “BIRDS” (AN ARCHIVE SHOW FROM 3.19.11)
11 MarI took the week off to renew my poetic license. This required standing for hours in a long waiting line, keeping my head when all about me were losing theirs and blaming it on me; and listening to everyone around me muttering something about “the road not taken.” A really creepy experience. Ok, I’m not so happy with my license photo (why did the photographer tell me not to make eye contact with the camera?), but at least I’m good to go for another year. Talk to you on Saturday night.
