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”

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

PLAYLIST FOR “MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO LOW SELF-ESTEEM” & “MUSICAL MASH-UPS” (3.26.16)

26 Mar

I pulled a couple shows from the archives for everyone’s listening pleasure this week. I’ll be back live next Saturday night!

A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO LOW SELF-ESTEEM

I tried to play the best songs I could think of for this theme, but I probably left out all the really good ones. Crap. I knew I was going to screw it up. Why did I think I could do this right? What was I thinking?

Uh-Oh. Maybe I’ve been thinking about Low Self-Esteem a little too long this week.

SONG TITLE / Artist / Album Or CD Title

IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN / Chaise Lounge / “Insomnia”
EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO ME / Carmen McRae / “The Fabulous Carmen McRae”

DANG ME / Kellye Gray / “And, They Call Us Cowboys”
NEVER LET ME GO / Cleo Laine / “Quintessential Cleo”

MUSICAL MASH-UPS

Can I do two things at once? Rub my head and pat my stomach? It’s more fun if someone does that for me. Walk and chew gum? Ok, so I had to give up chewing gum. Sing two songs at once? Maybe I can’t do that, but these guys can and did this week on Turntable For One.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

THREE LITTLE WORDS/SIR DUKE / Bria Skonberg /“Into Your Own”
EAST ST. LOUIS TOODLE-OO/DON’T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE / John Pizzarelli / “Rockin’ In Rhythm: A Duke Ellington Tribute

PLAYLIST FOR “HEARTFELT, HEARTLESS, & HEARTBROKEN: SONGS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY (2.13.16) #jazzradio

14 Feb

In last Wednesday’s hint, I asked what was the only thing I haven’t been called during the 5 1/2 year run of Turntable For One. Thanks for all of the suggestions (most of which were unprintable). Of course, calling me these things immediately disqualifies your answer from the quiz. The answer I was thinking of was “all heart.” And as you peruse the playlist, I think you’ll see that I’ve rectified that situation. Have you ever seen a radio program with more heart?
