We’ve all have those terrible Uh-Oh moments. Moments when you know things are going to go terribly terribly wrong. Example: You put a big spoonful of soup in your mouth and instantly know the soup is way too hot to eat.

PLAYLIST FOR “ANIMAL, MINERAL, OR VEGETABLE – A TURNTABLE FOR ONE GAME” 12.2.23

4 Dec

When’s the last time you played “Is It Animal, Mineral, or Vegetable?” Maybe the last time you ate at Denny’s? Maybe the last time you watched the U.S. Senate? My version of the game (with songs) was a lot more rewarding than the previous two examples. And swinging! Don’t you agree?

PLAYLIST FOR “NIGHT TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME” 11.11.23

14 Nov

I’ve been having trouble adjusting to Daylight Savings Time going away. They said we’d gain an hour. We did. We gained an extra hour of darkness.

PLAYLIST FOR “APRIL FOOLS! 2023” (4.1.23)

1 Apr

Sure, I promised my audience a special April 1st show with a new recording of Rod Stewart singing “Nessun Dorma,” a YouTube video of The Boy’s Choir of Galway Cathedral singing in Gaelic, “99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall,” plus a bootleg from a Joni Mitchell recording session where Joni is aiming a profanity-lace rant at her assistant who gave her the wrong bottle of spring water. Okay, that stuff I couldn’t deliver. But a couple hours of songs about fools and foolishness was a foolproof formula for a great April Fools Day show.

PLAYLIST FOR “SPRING HAS SPRUNG 2023” (3.25.23)

26 Mar

What do these things have in common: a pogo stick, a diving board, a trampoline?  Three things I wouldn’t be caught dead on? True but not what I was thinking. The three worst golden anniversary gifts? Also true but I couldn’t get two hours of music out of that. Answer: they all have springs! And that’s what I celebrated with two hours of Spring songs, with a nod to Spring planting with Mark Jennett, Spring Fever with Gretje Angell, and Spring cleaning with Kevin Mahogany. Proving once again that Turntable For One comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lamb chop.

PLAYLIST FOR “ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARTY 2023” (3.18.23)

19 Mar

March 17th was National Sleep Day – the last holiday in the world I’d like my audience to celebrate. Fortunately, it was also St. Patrick’s Day. That’s more like it. So I presented a mixture of laughter and tears, a perfect combination for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Although, in truth, most of the tears were mine because once again I maintained my tradition of eating a celebratory bowl of Lucky Charms on the air. (Lucky Charms are now gluten-free. It didn’t help.)  Still, it was a grand night of Irish and Irish-American singers and a chance to celebrate the music of Jimmy McHugh.

  • HOW ARE THINGS IN GLOCCA MORA  /  Roberta Gambarini & Hank Jones  /  “You Are There”
