I’ve been gone for a couple of weeks, but I’ll be back this Saturday just in time for Earth Day. How will I be celebrating this special day? By playing all the popular, toe-tapping, sing-a-long songs about renewable energy, global warming, and carbon footprints? Come on – do I look like Al Gore? I’ve got something else in mind.

Here’s to those halcyon, innocent days gone by…in other words, I played a repeat show from last year…though it’s still true that I have more questions than answers. How about you?

You can fool some of the people some of the time – and why, for heaven’s sake, isn’t that enough? So much for my philosophy of life. My philosophy of music is evident in the playlist below. Okay, maybe I played more “fool” songs than April Fools jokes, but why fool around when it comes to great singers and songs?

Let’s see…I’ve done Spring. I could do April Showers…but that’s only one song. April 15 is coming, so I could do Death and Taxes – no, I couldn’t get through it without weeping. Hey, wait – Saturday is April 1st! I wonder if that means anything…

Some people see the arrival of Spring as renewal, rebirth, renascence; and some people see it as the time for paying taxes, seasonal allergies, and, worst of all, the return of “America’s Got Talent.” I see it as a chance to play these great songs and singers.

I was gone last week, but I’m back on Saturday with a musical tribute to something we’ve all been waiting for, hoping for, getting ready for – no, not Beyonce’s twins – I’m thinking something seasonal.

It’s the 50-year anniversary of Billy Strayhorn’s death. Instead of sending a card, I played some favorites from the music he wrote and wrote in collaboration with Ellington.

This is the 50th anniversary of the death of Billy Strayhorn. Billy probably won’t be celebrating, but is there anything we could do?

They say that there’s more that unites us than divides us. Well, not on Turntable For One, I’m happy to say. Lots of opposing viewpoints, lots of opposing styles, and lots of songs about “having” and “not having”. And a good time was had by all…okay, maybe only by the host.

Duke Ellington is supposed to have said that there are just two types of music – good and bad. Types of people? That’s not so simple. For instance, there are people who listen to Turntable For One and those who don’t (more to be pitied than censured). There are people who see the glass as half-full, while others see it as half-empty (I’m more worried about who’s been drinking from my glass). And I can think of yet another way to characterize the troubling gulf that separates people today. No way I’m going to fix it, but I think I can get two hours of great music out of it.
