PLAYLIST FOR “THE MELODY CAME FIRST” (3.30.13)

1 Apr

This week I played a number of hit jazz tunes which were so popular that lyrics were added later — sometimes years later — so that singers could add them to their sets. “Holiday For Strings” is an outlier and an anomaly, but if you know Mandy’s version, you know why I couldn’t resist playing it.

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.
