PLAYLIST FOR “APRIL FOOL!”(AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST) 4.3.26

5 Apr

Well, if you were expecting a new show this week, the joke was on you. I dipped back into the archives for a classic…well, okay, an old show. Happy now? Here’s what I wrote about the show back then:

Sure, I promised my audience a special April 1st show with a new recording of Rod Stewart singing “Nessun Dorma,” a YouTube video of The Boy’s Choir of Galway Cathedral singing in Gaelic, “99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall,” plus a bootleg from a Joni Mitchell recording session where Joni is aiming a profanity-lace rant at her assistant who gave her the wrong bottle of spring water. Okay, that stuff I couldn’t deliver. But a couple hours of songs about fools and foolishness was a foolproof formula for a great April Fools Day show.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE / Kenny Rankin / “Haven’t We Met?”
BABY I’M A FOOL / Melody Gardot / “My One & Only Love”

I’M A FOOL TO WANT YOU (Take 3) / Billie Holiday / “Lady In Satin”
THE FOOL ON THE HILL / Artemis / “Artemis”
ORDINARY FOOL / Ray Brown Jr. & Paul Williams / “Friends & Family”
I FEEL FOOLISH / Caity György / “Featuring”
THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT / Tony Bennett / “Rarities, Outtakes, & Other Delights”
THE MAN THAT GOT AWAY / Judy Garland / “Judy At Carnegie”
I WAS A FOOL TO LET YOU GO / Frank Sinatra Jr. / “That Face”
FOOL THAT I AM / Etta James / “The Second Time Around”
WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I / Sammy Davis Jr. / “At The Coconut Grove”
SO LONG YOU FOOL / Sophie Milman / “Make Someone Happy”
GET YOURSELF ANOTHER FOOL / Paul McCartney / “Kisses On The Bottom”
EVERYODY’S SOMEBODY’S FOOL / Dexter Gordon / “Gettin’ Around”
FUN TO BE FOOLED / Marlene VerPlanck w. Hank Jones / “My Impetuous Heart”
THESE FOOLISH THINGS / Aaron Neville / “The Grand Tour”
YOU ARE TOO BEAUTIFUL / Sarah Vaughan / “Crazy & Mixed Up”
APRIL FOOLED ME / Mark Murphy / “Sings Mostly Dorothy Fields”
YOUNG AND FOOLISH / Trish Hatley / “I Remember”

PLAYLIST FOR “CLICHE CLINIC” (AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST) 2.28.26

1 Mar

Couldn’t do a new show this week so dusted off a show from a couple years ago. This was my swt-up back then:

What do these things have in common?

I’d rather have a root canal!
It’s like putting lipstick on a pig!
It’s totally gone off the tracks!

No, these are not descriptions of my show. They’re Cliches – which I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole and, at the end of the day, I bend over backwards not to use them as if my life depended on it. Except Saturday night when I gave a Clinic In Cliches!

PLAYLIST FOR “NEVER SAY NEVER” (AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST) 2.21.26

22 Feb

Couldn’t do a live show Saturday night, so I dusted off a show from a simpler time – 2017. Here’s what I wrote about it back then:

If there’s a rule about an exception to every rule, doesn’t that mean there must be a rule with no exception? Think about that as you look down the list of singers and songs helping me to break one of the tiresome rules I’ve heard my whole life – Never Say Never! Really? You try singing these songs without singing that word.

PLAYLIST FOR “LOADS OF LOVE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY!” 2.14.26

15 Feb

Loads of love songs for Valentine’s Day. In the past I’ve always dropped in a ton of ironic songs about love that are hardly love songs. One year, to be ironic, I even played Love For Sale. This year, this month, this week, I didn’t think the world needed my irony – or maybe I didn’t need it right now.
