PLAYLIST FOR “MY FAVORITE FOUR-LETTER WORDS” (AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST) 11.8.25

10 Nov

Played a show from 2023 this week, though two hours of four-letter words still seems appropriate for the times.  Maybe even more. I wrote this the first time I posted the show: 

Since it’s an election year, we’re going to be hearing a lot of four-letter words. I thought I’d start the ball rolling with some of my favorites: Love, Luck, Hope, Life, Song, and, of course, one of my most favorites of favorites, Tony.

PLAYLIST FOR “ALL BLUES” 10.11.25

12 Oct

About 5 years ago, I did a show called, “I Ain’t Got Nothin’ But The Blues.”  Back then, the country – and the  world – were reeling under a pandemic. Americans were confused, fearful, and angry, emotions reflected in contentious politics. We didn’t  know which way the country was going to go. As they say: the more things change… So what kind of mood do you think I’m still in five years later?

PLAYLIST FOR “HELLO, I MUST BE GOING” SEASON FINALE 6.28.25

29 Jun

Last show of the season. It always makes me sad for the music I haven’t played, the musical themes I never got to, the bad jokes I never made. Guess the audience lucked out on that third thing. As I have for the past 15 years, I handed out summer listening assignments. Have a great summer, everyone! And if the world is still here and we still have a country, you should be hearing from me in September.
