PLAYLIST FOR “ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARTY 2023” (3.18.23)

19 Mar

March 17th was National Sleep Day – the last holiday in the world I’d like my audience to celebrate. Fortunately, it was also St. Patrick’s Day. That’s more like it. So I presented a mixture of laughter and tears, a perfect combination for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Although, in truth, most of the tears were mine because once again I maintained my tradition of eating a celebratory bowl of Lucky Charms on the air. (Lucky Charms are now gluten-free. It didn’t help.) Still, it was a grand night of Irish and Irish-American singers and a chance to celebrate the music of Jimmy McHugh.

I desperately need a break. I desperately need something to celebrate. I tried to combine the two with a tribute to Spring. But not without first opening the show with another Ukrainian jazz artist.

PLAYLIST FOR “ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARTY” – AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST (3.12.22)

13 Mar

I couldn’t make it to the station this week, but did that mean no St. Patrick’s Day party this year? Nope. I dug this show from 2019 out of the archives. This is what I wrote about the show back then:

It’s been a Turntable For One St. Patrick’s Day tradition for me to play some jazz singers from Ireland, a few Irish-American (or at least half-Irish-American) singers and musicians, and – always a highlight – for me to eat some traditional Irish food on the air – which, of course, means a bowl of Lucky Charms. And, as if hearing me struggle and choke wasn’t incentive enough, I made this year’s party a celebration of the songs of Jimmy McHugh, the wonderful Irish-American composer.

SOMETHING COOL / Veronica Swift / “Lonely Woman”

I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT LOVE / Nat Cole / “Night Lights”
ALL ALONE AM I / Cassandre McKinley / “Dragonfly”
THE IRISH BALLAD / Tom Lehrer / “Revisited”

PLAYLIST FOR “KICKING IT ‘OLD’ SCHOOL” (2.9.19)

10 Feb

I don’t get it why people are so negative about the word, old. Some of our greatest songwriters have used that word in some of their greatest songs. And some of our youngest singers are giving new voice to these old songs. I say, this grievous mistake must be corrected. (Or am I just up to my old tricks, trying to fill two hours with music? You be the judge…)

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC / Loston Harris / “Why Try To Change Me Now”
AN OLD STUFFED SOFA / April Barrows / “My Dream Is You”
MY OLD FLAME / Stan Kenton / “The Stan Kenton Orchestra In Concert?”
MARRIAGE IS FOR OLD FOLKS / Nina Simone / “I Put A spell On You”
OLD FASHIONED WAY / Kristin Berardi / “Kristin Berardi Meets The Jazzgroove Mothership Orch.”

OLD FRIENDS / Simon & Garfunkel / “Bookends”
