PLAYLIST FOR “FAMOUS ADDRESSES” 6.7.25

9 Jun

For some reason I seem to be in “get out of Dodge mode” these days. Can’t imagine why. So I played a couple hours of songs about famous addresses, songs with lyrics about famous addresses, and songs recorded at famous addresses.  I especially liked playing Steven Pasquale singing the new national anthem of ICE – On The Street Where You Live. All in all, I think I addressed the topic pretty well.

PLAYLIST FOR “EASY DOES IT” (3.4.23)

5 Mar

You know how I work very hard planning this show every week? Some of my audience was  thinking,”Work harder.”  And some were thinking, “This show is planned?”  And the rest of them were likely thinking, “Will you get through the opening so we can listen to some music?”  The point was this week instead of working hard, I took it easy. In fact, everything about the show, especially the songs were easy. (Not entirely sure the audience got off easy.)

PLAYLIST FOR “LAUGHING AT LIFE”-AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST (2.5.22)

6 Feb

A show from the archives, this time from back in 2017, which explains why you can hear the last vestiges of hope in my voice. Here’s how I introduced the show back then…

It’s true that smiling requires more muscles than frowning, which must be why smiling always tires me so quickly. Still, considering all that we know and fear about the world today, I thought it was worth spending a couple hours focusing on laughing and smiling. Okay, I didn’t feel any better at the end of the program, but at least I got to share some great songs and singers and some of my favorite laughs.

This week, WMNR is holding its Winter Fundraising Drive and so in my usual subtle and surreptitious way, I offered songs with the subliminal theme of the cleansing benefits of giving your money away.

PLAYLIST FOR “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE” (10.19.19)

20 Oct

The earth is heating up, ice caps and glaciers are melting, the seas are rising, and many species, including our own, are threatened with extinction. What are we going to do? Well, I did what I always do: I exploited these serious problems, trivializing them with two hours of catchy, swinging, and often ironic songs. Some of them were comments on current conditions; others were things we need to curtail to save the planet. The first song was an answer to “What’s going to be the new capital city of the East Coast?” The second song was written in 1921 but casts an eerie darkness to what’s going on today. Just to be a pro-active citizen, I recycled and re-used a previous mystery vocalist. And as for the last two songs: which one will future generations be singing? That’s up to us now.
