PLAYLIST FOR “TERMS OF ENDEARMENT” (AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST 1.31.26

Still under the weather and will have to defer the “Game Night” show until next Saturday night. So we heard a show from the archive on Saturday. This is what I said about the show at the time…

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. In an effort – futile though it may be – to encourage a kinder, gentler world, I focused this week on some of the nicer words we used to call each other.

PLAYLIST FOR “ESCAPE PLANS” (AN ARCHIVAL RE-BROADCAST) 1.24.26

26 Jan

I was metaphorically under the weather this week, 24 hours before most of the country was literally under the weather. So I dipped into the archives for a show from a few months back. It may be more relevant to my mood now than it was when it first aired. This is what I wrote about it back then:

I can think of a thousand reasons why Escape Plans are on my mind. Instead, I thought of a couple dozen great songs and let them be my escape for a couple hours. (I also paid tribute to Jack DeJohnette whose work means so much to me.)

Next week is my annual Turntable For One Christmas party.

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.

MANHATTAN / Laura Anglade / “Get Out Of Town”
YOU’D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO / Harry Connick Jr. / “True Love”

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:
