PLAYLIST FOR “MUSIC OF THE WORLD” (4.22.17)

Saturday was Earth Day. I forgot to send the earth a card, but I did do a very responsible thing. I recycled a musical theme I’ve used before “Songs with the same word in the title.” Last night the word was World and sometimes Earth. All in all, I spent a couple of productive hours trying to save the planet from boring music.

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

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 “GONE FISHIN'” (6.28.16)

27 Jun

WMNR Fine Arts Radio was celebrating another Musical Theme Week, “Gone Fishin'”. So, of course, I jumped right in, since I’ve spent my life fishing for the right words and angling for an original thought. Although I came up with just two songs actually about fishing, I found songs about fishing metaphors (see if you can guess which metaphor goes with which songs) and songs about taking off and going traveling in general.

PLAYLIST FOR “THE (LOST) ART OF WRITING LETTERS” (5.14.16)

16 May

Remember when 140 characters meant a Tolstoy novel, not our major means of communicating with each other? Remember when Snail Mail referred to the gender of a specie, not to the U.S. Postal Service? Remember when a sound bite was an accident with the neighbor’s dog, not a statement by a politician? (Although you’d probably be wise to get a rabies shot after both of those events.) We seem to have lost a number of things these days – skills such as logic, empathy, listening. This week I thought I’d tackle the lost art of letter writing with a couple dozen wonderful songs and singers on the topic.

TAKE A LETTER, MISS JONES / Mel Torme / “Live At Marty’s”
LOVE LETTERS / Natalie Cole / “Stardust”
I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER / Frank Sinatra / “Sinatra/Basie: The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings”

FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT / Leonard Cohen / “The Essential Leonard Cohen”
DEAR BIX / Renee Yoxon & Chad Linsley / “Impossible: Live At Musideum”
TONY BENNETT / Kevin Mahogany / “Old, New, Borrowed, And The Blues”
TOO MARVELOUS FOR WORDS / Helen Merrill / “Casa Forte”
YOU’RE THE TOP / (Mystery Vocalist) / Cary Grant & Ginny Sims / “Music of Cole Porter”
MONA LISA / Keith Jarrett / “Tokyo 96”
SMITTEN WITH YOU / Lorraine Feather / “Attachments”
HONEY PIE / Tuck & Patty / “Love Warriors”
HEY JOHN / Blossom Dearie / “Blossom Dearie Sings”
HEY YOU WITH THE CRAZY EYES / Loston Harris / “Swingfully Yours”
BABY, WON’T YOU PLEASE COME HOME / Champian Fulton / “After Dark”
MEET ME AT NO SPECIAL PLACE / Maud Hixson / “Love’s Refrain”
LONELY TIME / Maynard Ferguson / “Message From Birdland”
YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY / Curtis Stigers / “Secret Heart”
DEARLY BELOVED / Nancy Wilson / “Hollywood My Way”
THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT / Tony Bennett / “Rarities, Outtakes, & Other Delights, Vol. 2””
HURRY IT’S LOVELY UP HERE / Mark Jennett / “Everybody Says Don’t”
DON’T SMOKE IN BED / Nina Simone / “Little Girl Blue”
PARIS MISMATCH / (Theme Music) / Cody Owen Stine
