PLAYLIST FOR “SUCKING UP TO THE AUDIENCE” (FALL FUNDRAISING DRIVE) 10.25.25

28 Oct

During previous fundraising drives I’ve asked for listener support, I’ve begged, I’ve cajoled, I’ve pleaded, I’ve enjoined, I was going to extort but I got a hard NO from the Fine Arts Radio Legal Department.Okay, so this time I tried to do something I haven’t done before to get people to call or pledge on line. I spent every minute I could of my two-hour show sucking up to the best damned audience in radio!

PLAYLIST FOR “ALL BLUES” 10.11.25

12 Oct

About 5 years ago, I did a show called, “I Ain’t Got Nothin’ But The Blues.”  Back then, the country – and the  world – were reeling under a pandemic. Americans were confused, fearful, and angry, emotions reflected in contentious politics. We didn’t  know which way the country was going to go. As they say: the more things change… So what kind of mood do you think I’m still in five years later?

PLAYLIST FOR “CHRISTMAS PARTY 2024” 12.21.24

23 Dec

The last live show of the year so it was time to party! I told a few bad jokes, made a few insulting remarks, the audience got mad and drank too much. I know, that sounds like every other Turntable For One. What made it a party? Fabulous and favorite Christmas songs from old stars and new. And I recited a prayer for lighting the Menorah, revisited some uncomfortable memories of less-than carefree Hebrew school youth, and played a couple new Hanukah songs. Did I see a Hanukah miracle that night? Yep. My car started after the show even though the temperature had plummeted into the low teens. Happy Holidays, one and all!!

PLAYLIST FOR “FOUL PLAY” (6.15.24)

17 Jun

What can you do when you’re in a foul mood except play songs about foul play, and foul weather, andfowl weather, and on and on in that foul trajectory? Plus as an early Father’s Day gift, my wife and son joined me in the studio to talk about Cody’s music and to play the game he and I have played for years: count the number of quotes in a Dexter Gordon solo. It was not a foul time in the least.
