PLAYLIST FOR “THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS” (5.6.17)

6 May

I believe human beings have one determinative principle – although principle seems to be a word that’s fallen from grace and practice these days. “The Heart Wants What It Wants” – Doesn’t that explain why people choose their partners, their meals, their cars, their politicians, and in the case of one of this week’s mystery vocalists, why he married his step-daughter. Emily Dickinson gave that phrase to the world in a letter. I wonder if she would be happy about that today. I was happy about these songs for this week’s theme.

IT’S BAD FOR ME / (Mystery Vocalists) / Rosemary Clooney & Benny Goodman / “Rosemary Clooney: Jazz Singer”
I WANT TO BE A SIDEMAN / Connie Evingson / “Little Did I Dream”
PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENT / Sting / “The Last Ship”

PLAYLIST FOR “THINGS TO DO WHILE LISTENING TO TURNTABLE FOR ONE” (10.8.16)

10 Oct

It’s a multi-tasking world. For instance, I’m tap dancing while I type this (which could explain all of the typos). What does my audience do while listening to Turntable For One? They told me some of the things they do – the things they can’t be arrested for – and I gave them a few additional suggestions, too. A good time was had by all. (See below for proof.)

PLAYLIST FOR “CELEBRATING MOTHERS” (5.7.16)

9 May

A program for all the mothers in the audience, and for a change I meant it in a literal sense, not as a nasty pejorative. So it was two-hours of music about being a mother, caring for their kids, worrying about their kids, and advising their kids – any of which can be taken to an uncomfortable extreme…but maybe that’s just my story.

PLAYLIST FOR “DRINKING AGAIN” & “SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN” (ARCHIVE SHOWS) #jazz #jazzradio #jazzsingers

24 Apr

I dusted off a couple shows from the Turntable For One archives and took the weekend off. Miss me? Well, I’ve been getting ready for an extra-special show this coming Saturday. Be here Wednesday and I’ll give you a hint.

For those of you who can’t get through an hour of me without a drink or two, this show was for you!

DRINKING AGAIN

SONG TITLE / Artist / Album or CD Title

THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES / Anita O’Day / “Anita O’Day”

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN

What’s the difference between a Dream and a Plan? Well, I’ve been having a lot of bad dreams lately, a lot of bad plans, too. Dreams aren’t real and they don’t come true…of course, most of my plans don’t come true, either. You know, maybe there’s no difference at all. Both of them end in disappointment and heartache – but not when singers like the ones I played are singing about plans they’re making!

PLAYLIST FOR “NO ANSWERS, ONLY QUESTIONS!” (3.5.16) #jazz #jazzradio #jazzsingers

6 Mar

I thought we could all use a two-hour break from the endless diarrhetic diatribes of easy answers and dichotomous thinking. Not all questions can be answered in a beat-the-buzzer 90-seconds. In fact, some of the swinging questions I played took more than five minutes just to ask.
