HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (5.3.14)

30 Apr

HINT:

Jazz singers and country singers. Maybe you’re thinking, irreconcilable differences. But I’m picturing a Venn Diagram and now I’m thinking, hey, I’ve got  a very interesting hour of music planned.

PLAYLIST FOR “ANTHROPOMORPHISM: THE INSIDIOUS SUBTERFUGE” (AN ARCHIVE PROGRAM FROM 10/12)

21 Apr

This week, as another in a series of uncalled for public services, I tried to warn you about a musical danger which is as rampant as it is clever – Anthropomorphism in the Great American Songbook. Don’t try to thank me — just doing my job. Okay, I changed my mind. Go ahead, try to thank me.

Here’s the playlist of the examples I chose. Listen and beware!

New show this Saturday; hint on Wednesday.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (4.12.14)

9 Apr

HINT: 

Here’s what you’ll need for listening to this week’s Turntable For One: a radio (or internet radio), 2 ears — but wait!! There’s more: you’ll also need a well-lighted room, comfortable clothes, a warm, engaging smile, and a cell phone. Get the picture? You will Saturday night and I’ll be playing an hour of great jazz vocals to enhance the mood.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT THEME (3.29.14)

26 Mar

HINT:

For this week’s program, I’m once again delving deep into the vast bowels of the Turntable For One recorded archives. (Perhaps a more elegant metaphor is wanted here). Nevertheless, I hope you’re ready to party Saturday night because on that show I threw an all-singing, all-star, all-out par-teee.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S SHOW (3.22.14)

19 Mar

HINT:

A while back I broke the Turntable For One record for the greatest number of singers played on the air during one show. (And I did it without playing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.) Well, since nobody wrote or called saying, “Don’t ever do anything like that again,” guess what? I’m doing something like that again.

Which record will I try to break this time? Tune in Saturday Night and find out!
