PLAYLIST FOR “SOMETHING GOOD MIGHT HAPPEN” (6.8.19)

I’m have always been a “the-glass-is-half-empty” kind of guy. (I also worry who’s been drinking from that glass.) Why? Growing up, my family had a clear and distinct world view: “Something bad might happen.” So this week I challenged – no, I dared myself to look through the eyes of people who actually (and inexplicably) see the world positively. I played song after song about things possibly going right and how to make that happen. Happily I got through it but only by repeating my daily, personal affirmation: “What on earth were you thinking?”

PLAYLIST FOR “LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN THE MAILBOX!” (5.25.19)

27 May

Instead of a theme, instead of featuring the oft-heard Turntable For One regulars – Sinatra, Tony, Carmen, Ella, Nina, etc. – I put Saturday’s show together with only some of the new music I received in the mail (both physical and virtual) in just the past two weeks. I generously didn’t go into the other things I find in my mail – things like memorial headstone catalogs and threatening letters from Social Security since they found out that I am neither social nor secure. Also: here’s a shout out to all of the singers and musicians listed below – young and old – and to their promoters; without them my audience and I would just have to stare at each other for two hours, and I think we know who would lose that staring contest.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU / Sarah McKenzie / “Songs Of My Heart”
COME LOVE / John Doakes / “True Love”
YOU MUST BELIEVE IN SPRING / Pete McGuinness Jazz Orchestra / “Along for The Ride”

MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT / Betty Carter / “And The Music Never Stops”ˆ
IT’S ALRIGHT WITH ME / Stan Getz / “Getz At The Gate”
GET ON WITH IT / Marina & The Kats / Swingsalabim”
FRANCIS DOESN’T CARE FOR THE BLUES / Billy Brandt / “City Noir”
PRELUDE TO A KISS / Calabria Foti / “Prelude To A Kiss”
THEM THERE EYES / Yamit Lemoine & The Vinyl Blvd. / “Ain’t Misbehavin’”
DO IT THE HARD WAY / Rebecca DuMaine & Dave Miller Combo / “Chez Nous”
BLACKBIRD / Casey Abrams / “Jazz”
MILONGA DEL ANGEL / Anat Cohen Tentet / “Triple Helix”
LIFE’S A LESSON / Ben Sidran / “Ben There Done That”
