PLAYLIST FOR “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO LAZINESS” (6.1.19)

I was feeling too lazy to come up with a theme for this week until I suddenly realized that I…well, I’m sure you’re way ahead of me now so I’ll stop there.

PLAYLIST FOR “HITTING BOTTOM” (5.5.18)

6 May

I know it was wishful thinking on my part, but on Saturday’s show I celebrated finally hitting bottom. No, this wasn’t a tribute to Stormy Daniels, it was a realization that the way things are going, I may not live long enough to see us hit the actual bottom. All the songs and some of the singers know exactly what I meant. So now, after this show, I can tell myself (or pretend) that things will start to get better. (I’m not holding my breath, because I know I really won’t live long enough that way.)

THE LIFE THAT I LEAD / Lou Rawls / “Carryin’ On”
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS / Billie Holiday / “Lady In Satin”

PLAYLIST FOR “NOSTALGIA NIGHT” – AN ARCHIVE PRESENTATION (3.10.18)

11 Mar

I replayed a show from last November because I couldn’t do a live show this week and, considering all the horrendous things that haves happened just since November, I’ve taken to longing for the good old days — of not so long ago. It was nostalgic for when I was smart and my phone was dumb, when a blue state was just me having a bad day, and when Harvey was a six-foot invisible rabbit you really wanted to see and not a creep you never want to see again. We can’t live in the past, but I don’t mind an occasional visit. I’ll be back from my trip down memory lane and in the studio next Saturday night.

I’D GIVE A DOLLAR FOR A DIME / Champian Fulton / “Champian Sings & Swings”
WHEN THE WORLD WAS YOUNG / Bob Dylan / “Triplicate”
INTERMISSION RIFF / Stan Kenton / “Kenton In Hifi”
YOU COULDN’T BE CUTER / Seth MacFarlane / “In Full Swing”
EVERYBODY LOVES MY BABY / Duchess / “Laughing At Life”
MY HOME TOWN / Tom Leher / “The Old Dope Peddler”
WHERE DID THE MAGIC GO / Tony Bennett / “Astoria: Portrait Of The Artist”
THANKS FOR THE MEMORY / Bob Hope & Shirley Ross / “Thanks For The Memory”
YOUNG AND FOOLISH / Anita Wardell / “Women With Standards”
GOOD OLD BAD OLD DAYS / (Mystery Vocalist) / George Burns / “As Time Goes By”
LAST NIGHT WHEN WE WERE YOUNG / Kenny Burrell / “Guitar Forms”
I REMEMBER YOU / Allan Harris / “Nobody’s Gonna Love You Better”
I’M OLD FASHIONED / Paula Cole / “Ballads”
LET’S TAKE AN OLD FASHIONED WALK / Melissa Walker / “I Saw The Sky”
THE WAY WE WERE / Johnny Hartman / “Boston Concert 1976”
THESE FOOLISH THINGS / Billie Holiday / “The Complete Verve Master Takes”
IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR / Frank Sinatra / “September Of My Years”

PLAYLIST FOR “SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN” (9.23.17)

24 Sep

I’ve been watching with horror the images of the millions of people whose only fault was being in the path of Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria. Will we ever be able to think about rain benignly again the way so many popular song writers have?

PLAYLIST FOR “FACT OR ALTERNATIVE FACT?” (6-24-17)

25 Jun

It seems now we even disagree about agreeing to disagree. Things are totally out of control. Don’t you agree?

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to do it. Instead I presented a couple hours of people arguing and contradicting each other and never finding common ground. You want cumbaya? Watch Dr. Phil.
