PLAYLIST FOR “TURN UP THE QUIET” 5.4.24

5 May

Here are a few recent fan emails. 

Dear Turntable For One. Will you keep it down? I’m trying to sleep. (That guy is a regular.)

Dear Turntable For One – Help. I forget how to turn off my radio. Signed, Desperate on Saturday Night.  (I wasn’t able to help her.) 

Dear H. William Stine. I keep asking Alexa to play quietly and she keeps saying she doesn’t know that one.  

Sense a pattern here? I did. If it’s quiet they want, it’s quiet they got this week.
