PLAYLIST FOR “COPYCATS” (10.11.14)

13 Oct

I hope my hint this week was sufficiently confusing…“I’ll play every song at least twice but I won’t play any song more than once.” All I meant was I’ll play two different songs with the same song title. I was surprised at how many there are, and how many I didn’t know before last week. How about you?

PLAYLIST FOR “OLDIES BUT GOODIES WEEK” (9.6.14)

7 Sep

It was “Oldies But Goodies Week” on the show this week, but I didn’t mean the songs. I meant the singers! To sing on this week’s show you needed to be 70-years-old at least; or if you weren’t 70, you had to be accompanied by (at least) a septuagenarian. By the time I’m in my 70s, I hope still to be cutting my own meat. But look what these singers produced even in the late stages of their careers.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

ANYTHING GOES / Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga / “Cheek To Cheek”
WONDER WHY / Carmen McRae & Shirley Horn Trio / “Sarah – Dedicated To You”
LIVING WITHOUT YOU / Bill Henderson / “Live At The Vic”
BABY DREAM YOUR DREAM / Marlene VerPlank / “Ballads mostly…”
THE JUG AND I / Ernie Andrews / “The L.A. Treasures Project”
ILL WIND / Charlie Haden With Nora Jones / “Sophisticated ladies”
YOUNG AT HEART / (Mystery Vocalist) / George Burns & Bobby Vinton / “As Time Goes By”
YOU’D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO / Freda Payne / “Come Back To me Love”
RICH INTERIOR LIFE / Ben Sidran / “Don’t Cry For No Hipster”
MAYBE / Lena Horne / “An Evening With Lena Horne”
OH YOU CRAZY MOON / Frank D’Rone / “Double Exposure”
ALICE IN WONDERLAND / Dave Brubeck & Roberta Gambarini / “Everybody Wants To Be A Cat”
PARIS MISMATCH / (Theme Music) / Cody Owen Stine / (Unreleased Master)

I’ll have a new hint for this Saturday’s show on Wednesday. But don’t forget, Turntable For One is always ready to please you. (What else in your life can make that promise?) Click on the link below to listen to a Turntable For One podcast on PRX, The Public Radio Exchange.

PLAYLIST FOR “COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA” (8.30.14)

30 Aug

Summer is over which means time to put away put away your whites, your shorts, your suntan lotion, and reflect on the things we did last summer that we’ll remember all winter long — except I had one of those “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” summers when I didn’t do any of the things I wanted and meant to do. Am I bitter? No more than usual. Am I depressed? (See previous response.) Because I have developed the useful skill of turning my pain in art…well, actually, other people do all the art. So are some of my favorite “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” songs by some of the best new and old jazz singers. Check back on Wednesday for a hint about next Saturday night’s show.

PLAYLIST FOR “BIRDS” (AN ARCHIVE SHOW FROM 3.19.11)

11 Mar

I took the week off to renew my poetic license. This required standing for hours in a long waiting line, keeping my head when all about me were losing theirs and blaming it on me; and listening to everyone around me muttering something about “the road not taken.” A really creepy experience. Ok, I’m not so happy with my license photo (why did the photographer tell me not to make eye contact with the camera?), but at least I’m good to go for another year. Talk to you on Saturday night.

HOW HIGH THE MOON/ORNITHOLOGY / Karrin Allyson / “Azure-te”
