PLAYLIST FOR “PROMISES, PROMISES” 6.21.25

22 Jun

When I started this show, 15 years ago, I promised no bad jokes. That promise went out the window on the first show. Then I promised I’d never play Rod Stewart or Lawrence Welk. 0 for 2 on those. Finally, in desperation, I promised never to try to sell skin care products to my audience. I’ve kept that promise…but of course, I do have one more show to go this season; and I do have 15 boxes of the stuff in my garage. Hmmmm…. This week? I promised two hours all about promises others have made, and a few they didn’t keep.

PLAYLIST FOR “IF” (11.4.23)

7 Nov

It’s a small word, only two letters. But it’s aspirational, inspirational, and conditional, opening a thought or a wish to thousand possibilities. So in another (likely futile) attempt to Make Grammar Great Again, I presented a musical tribute to the conditional conjunction – IF.

18 Sep

Dear, Honey, Baby, Sweetie, Darling, Doll – no, I’m not quoting from my listeners’ emails. We’re about to enter into another “spin” cycle, a year when anger, accusations, and name calling fill the air and the airwaves.

PLAYLIST FOR “CLIMATE CHANGE HIT PARADE” (6.10.23)

11 Jun

Everyone loved Orange Is The New Black. You know what we didn’t love? Orange Is The New Blue when huge, thick, toxic orange clouds of smoke from Canadian forest fires enveloped our cities, giving new meaning to huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Thanks, Canada. As if sending us Celine Dion wasn’t bad enough. I knew I had to do something sensitive and sympathetic for the millions of people who suffered this week. But instead I chose to exploit this tragedy to get some ironic laughs with tunes from the Climate Change Hit Parade.

PLAYLIST FOR “FRENCH KISSES” (4.29.23)

1 May

Let’s be honest. France has seen some dark days. Some examples: Joan of Arc? Where was Gloria Allred when we needed her? And you can’t talk about dark days without Napoleon — the man not the dessert. Or Vichy – the government, not the water. And Freedom Fries – wait, no, that was our dumb mistake. And today the French are suffering through another tragic indignity – raising the national retirement age from 62 to 64. Well. I think we need to show our support and not just our incredulity for what the brave but – not over-worked -people of France going through. I presented a celebration of French singers and musicians, french songs, and songs about France. That’s right, for two hours I gave out out French Kisses this week on Turntable For One.

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 “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.

PLAYLIST FOR “EASY DOES IT” (3.4.23)

5 Mar

You know how I work very hard planning this show every week? Some of my audience was thinking,”Work harder.” And some were thinking, “This show is planned?” And the rest of them were likely thinking, “Will you get through the opening so we can listen to some music?” The point was this week instead of working hard, I took it easy. In fact, everything about the show, especially the songs were easy. (Not entirely sure the audience got off easy.)

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

NICE ‘N’ EASY / Barbra Streisand / “What Matters Most”
EASY LIVING / Johnny Hartman / “Once In Every Life”
