PLAYLIST FOR “OPPOSITES DON’T ALWAYS ATTRACT!” 6.20.26

PLAYLIST FOR “APRIL FOOL!”(AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST) 4.3.26

5 Apr

Well, if you were expecting a new show this week, the joke was on you. I dipped back into the archives for a classic…well, okay, an old show. Happy now? Here’s what I wrote about the show back then:

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 “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.

PLAYLIST FOR “MY FAVORITE FOUR-LETTER WORDS” (AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST) 11.8.25

10 Nov

Played a show from 2023 this week, though two hours of four-letter words still seems appropriate for the times.  Maybe even more. I wrote this the first time I posted the show: 

Since it’s an election year, we’re going to be hearing a lot of four-letter words. I thought I’d start the ball rolling with some of my favorites: Love, Luck, Hope, Life, Song, and, of course, one of my most favorites of favorites, Tony.

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?

PLAYLIST FOR “CHRISTMAS PARTY 2024” 12.21.24

23 Dec

The last live show of the year so it was time to party! I told a few bad jokes, made a few insulting remarks, the audience got mad and drank too much. I know, that sounds like every other Turntable For One. What made it a party? Fabulous and favorite Christmas songs from old stars and new. And I recited a prayer for lighting the Menorah, revisited some uncomfortable memories of less-than carefree Hebrew school youth, and played a couple new Hanukah songs. Did I see a Hanukah miracle that night? Yep. My car started after the show even though the temperature had plummeted into the low teens. Happy Holidays, one and all!!
