PLAYLIST FOR “AH-HA MOMENTS!” 1.20.24

22 Jan

Last week I did  a show with the musical theme, “Uh-Oh Moments!” (If you missed the show, I strongly advise you borrow someone’s notes before the final exam.) So I was trying to think of what to do this week.  What to do? What to do? Then, out of the blue, I had an “Ah-Ha Moment!” (At this stage of the game, I can’t afford to pass up any errant thought or idea.)

PLAYLIST FOR “GROUNDHOG DAY!” (2.2.19)

2 Feb

Explain to me again why we created a holiday to honor an ugly, destructive rodent and a misguided superstition while continuing to discredit the value of scientific facts in our lives? I based my Groundhog Day celebration on the classic movie and this rule: If you hear a song once this week, you’re going to hear it at least twice. (Okay, I did start the show with one Groundhog Day song.)
