PLAYLIST FOR “PLAYING NICE” 11.15.25

16 Nov

It started when we were kids, I mean little kids. Our teachers would tell us. Our parents would tell us. Our aunts and uncles, cousins, and sometime even the mail carrier would tell us: Play Nice! (Of course my parents also told me not to lock my little sister in the trunk of our Chevy Impala – but that’s for another show). Playing Nice – it’s a phrase, an admonition, and a concept that’s kind of gone out of fashion these days. But not while I have this microphone, because for two hours, I just played nice – nice songs by singers and musicians who know how to play nice.

SO NICE / Bebel Gilberto / “Tanto Tempo”
SOMEONE NICE LIKE YOU / Sammy Davis Jr. / “What Kind Of Fool Am I”
IT’S TOO LATE / Kevin Mahogany / “The Vienna Affair”
MANHATTAN / Laura Anglade / “Get Out Of Town”
YOU’D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO / Harry Connick Jr. / “True Love”
YOU’D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO / Nina Simone / “Nina At Newport”

About 5 years ago, I did a show called, “I Ain’t Got Nothin’ But The Blues.” Back then, the country – and the world – were reeling under a pandemic.

I reached back into the Turntable For One archives and dusted off golden oldie and one of my favorites from the past few years. This is what I wrote when the show was new:

In the middle of planning this week’s show – A Musical Tribute To The Venn Diagram – I was forced to face a defining question: What makes Turntable For One Turntable For One?

PLAYLIST FOR “BAD HABITS” – AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST – 2.8.25

9 Feb

Had to take a “snow day” and play a show from the archive. Don’t want to make a habit of it, but snow happens. Here’s what I said about the show in 2021:

We all have them. We may try to hide them with varying degrees of success or failure because – let’s face it – they totally reveal us, they embarrass us, and the worst ones can actually define us for the rest of our lives. Of course I’m talking about our high school yearbook photos. Of course I’m not talking about our high school yearbook photos. I’m talking about Bad Habits. So it was nothing but Bad Habits this week – ranging from binge watching to smoking, drinking, co-dependence. magical thinking, and more. I’d go on but I’ve been told that rambling is a bad habit.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

TV BLUES / Tom Rust and The Malcolm Edmonstone Trio / “Are We There Yet?”
SCOTCH AND SODA / Amanda Carr / “Carr Toons”
I FALL IN LOVE TOO EASILY / Kenny Rankin / “Professional Dreamer”
MY NEW CELEBRITY IS YOU / Blossom Dearie / “My New Celebrity Is You”
DRINKING AGAIN / Frank Sinatra / “Nothing But The Best”
BAD HABITS / Rachael Price / “Dedicated To You”
