HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (11.10.12)

7 Nov

                    HINT:

Well, the campaigns and elections are finally over. No more debates, no more ads, no more declaiming and blaming, no more spinning and pivoting, no more talking points and scoring points, and no more name calling — Wait a minute! Better hold off on that last one.

(Don’t forget to check out the Thanksgiving Show page and send me a suggestion for the “Music To Be Thankful For” show.)

PLAYLIST FOR “GHOSTS AND GOBLINS AND WITCHES AND SPELLS” (10.27.12)

29 Oct

Don’t you love Halloween traditions? Like songs about ghosts and witches and spells; and hurricanes that change the geography of the East Coast and turn off the electricity for at least a week. I prefer the tradition of killing people with a tossed handful of flour rather than with hurricanes. Let’s cancel this modern-day tradition for next year, okay?

Don’t know for certain if there will be a live show this coming Saturday. Watch this space for updates.

And while you’re here, click on Thanksgiving Show to see if you’d like to make a musical contribution to the show.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (10.27.12)

24 Oct

HINT:

Round about the caldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot!

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Is that a description of me in the kitchen whipping up my oft-disparaged béchamel sauce? Yes, but it has an entirely different meaning when it comes to the musical theme for this week’s Turntable For One.

Hey – while you’re here, click on the Thanksgiving  Show link in the right-hand corner and check out how you can be a part of this year’s special music  show.
