PLAYLIST FOR “DELUGE OF DILEMMAS” 9.8.24

When they come, they may be small, they may be large; they may come one at a time or maybe in bunches. You don’t always see them coming, but they’re coming.

Of course I’m talking about mosquito bites. No — I’m talking about Dilemmas – those tricky speed bumps life throws at us. You know, Which is better: fire or ice? Window or aisle? Or the one that vexes me most: fries or side salad?

How about these songs for a deluge of dilemmas?

PLAYLIST FOR “MONARCHY MANIA” (5.6.23)

7 May

Something historic happened today; something that hasn’t happened in 70 years. No, I’m not talking about me getting back on the uneven parallel bars. I’m talking about the coronation of a new king and queen in the United Kingdom. Whatever you think of the royal family, I thought it was a relief to focus on pomp and circumstance for a few hours instead of pomposity and circumstantial evidence. To continue my good feelings, I brought a bowl of Royal butterscotch pudding and a bun with Royal icing for snacks. I wrote my opening on my trusty Royal 10 typewriter, and I hummed the Royal Garden Blues on my drive to the radio station. Clearly I was feeling a royal flush, so I celebrated Monarchy Mania his week with lots of songs about royalty and songs by British and American music royalty.
