PLAYLIST FOR “RIGHT TRACK OR WRONG TRACK” 2.1.25

1 Feb

Are we on the right track or the wrong track? It’s a question and a concern for many many people these days. Did I have the answers? Did I offer words of wisdom to smooth and soothe the anxiety surrounding us? Of course not! Instead I did what I always do. I exploited that anxiety to fill two hours with music. But you gotta admit: it was some damned good music.

PLAYLIST FOR “CHRISTMAS PARTY 2024” 12.21.24

23 Dec

The last live show of the year so it was time to party! I told a few bad jokes, made a few insulting remarks, the audience got mad and drank too much. I know, that sounds like every other Turntable For One. What made it a party? Fabulous and favorite Christmas songs from old stars and new. And I recited a prayer for lighting the Menorah, revisited some uncomfortable memories of less-than carefree Hebrew school youth, and played a couple new Hanukah songs. Did I see a Hanukah miracle that night? Yep. My car started after the show even though the temperature had plummeted into the low teens. Happy Holidays, one and all!!

PLAYLIST FOR “A LITTLE LOVE TO UNLOVED LYRICISTS” 12.7.24

9 Dec

I don’t think a week has gone by when I haven’t played songs with lyrics by Larry Hart or Cole Porter or the Bergmans, or Ira Gershwin – until this week! I’m gave all those guys the night off and instead, focussed on lyricists whose songs we know – but their names… not so much. I spent the evening singing the praises of  such talented lyricists as Bob Russell, Caroll Coates, Bob Haymes, Peggy Lee, Ed Hayman, and others. Well, fortunately for my audience, I let other, more qualified people do the singing.

It’s been quite a peripatetic week, no? Trick or treaters walking up and down their neighborhoods; politicians trying to walk back their unfortunate remarks; the Yankees certainly could have used a few more walks or maybe some walk-on homers; and early  Sunday morning we walked back the hands of time an hour.

28 Oct

I’m usually doing my annual Halloween show about now, playing classic Halloween songs and greeting trick or treaters at the door.

PLAYLIST FOR “IT’S NATIONAL PIANO MONTH!” (9.14.24)

15 Sep

I celebrated National Piano Month, playing some of my favorite pianists, singer/pianists, and songwriters.  However, I did have to take a moment to talk to a small portion of my audience – thr pets that listen because their people listen.  Pets had a scary week with all the talk about bad people kidnapping and eating them  I wanted to reassure them with some special songs to say that we love them and they are  safe.
