HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY’S MUSICAL THEME (1.28.17)

26 Jan

HINT:

Are you feeling uncertain? About the world? About the future? About the past? About this hint?  Are you uncertain that anything will ever be certain again?

One thing is for certain: you’ll certainly want to hear this week’s show, if for no other reason than you’ll discover that you’re not alone. In fact, you’re in very good and very swinging company.

HINT FOR THE FINAL SHOW…OF 2016. (12.31.16)

28 Dec

HINT: 

While I’m working day and night on my resolutions for the new year – right now I’ve got them down to three categories: “Possible”, “Unlikely”, and “In Your Dreams” – I thought we could end the year by listening again to my favorite show from 2016.  Maybe it’s one of your favorites, too; maybe it’s not. But do you really want the year to end with an argument?

Happy New Year one and all, wherever you are. 

Turntable For One.  Jazz Vocals.  Saturday Nights 9-11 PM (E.S.T.)
