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.

PLAYLIST FOR “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO DIRECT ADDRESS” – AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST (BETTER KNOWN AS A RERUN) (1.21.23)

22 Jan

I didn’t make it to the station this week, so I played a show from when I was younger and the world was easier to understand. Okay, just when I was younger. Here’s what I said about it the first time around:

“‘What we got here is failure to communicate,’ said one of the most reprehensible yet prescient movie villains of all time. That line of dialogue has been playing frequently in my head these days. How can we communicate better? Of course, my answer to this and so many other questions is simple: better grammar. So in my continuing effort to leave no listener behind, I made a case for the vocative case, another term for the function of grammar known as direct address. All of the songs served as examples, using a name, a term of endearment, or a feeling to grab the attention of the intended object of communication. If only the rest of the world would function according to the orderly, predictable precepts in my dog-eared high school grammar book.”

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD or Album Title

HEY YOU WITH THE CRAZY EYES / Loston Harris / “Swingfully Yours”
MATCHMAKER, MATCHMAKER / Carmen Lundy / “Girl Talk”
MAM’SELLE / Frank Sinatra / “Nice ‘N Easy”

HELLO MA BABY / Julian Yeo / “1923”
HELLO BABE / Madeleine Peyroux / Secular Hymns”
MY CHERI AMOUR / (Mystery Vocalists) / Joe Pesci & Adam Levine / “Pesci….Still Singing”
WAITER MAKE MINE BLUES / Anita O’Day / “Waiter Make Mine Blues”
WAITER ASK THE MAN TO PLAY THE BLUES / Freddy Cole / “Waiter Ask The Man To Play The Blues”
WAITER, OH WAITER / Stacey Kent / “The Changing Lights”
DINNER FOR ONE, PLEASE, JAMES / Joe Williams / “Ballad & Blues Master”
FEET DO YOUR STUFF / Sarah Moule / “It’s A Nice Thought”
RUBY, MY DEAR / Thelonious Monk / “At Palo Alto”
BALLERINA / Gregory Porter / “Nat King Cole And Me”
GEORGIA ROSE / Queen Latifah / “Trav’lin’ Light”
HURRY IT’S LOVELY UP HERE / Mark Jennett / “Everybody Says Don’t”
BEAUTIFUL LOVE / Sinne Eeg / “Eeg/Fonnesbaek”
YOU, YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY / Van Morrison & Joey DeFrancesco / “You’re Driving me Crazy”

PLAYLIST FOR “MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO THE IMPERATIVE MOOD” (11.19.22)

Once again, Turntable For One went where no other radio programs dare to go – possibly because all they care about is being entertaining. Instead I decided it was time to do my best to try to make grammar great – and even glorious – again! This time with a Musical Tribute to the Imperative Mood. Was there a test?

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.

11 Oct

Saturday was World Mental Health Day. So, of course, I wanted to play two hours of positive, motivating, and encouraging songs. JUST KIDDING!!

PLAYLIST FOR “COUPLES THERAPY” (7.25.20)

26 Jul

So I indulged in a bit of Couples Therapy this week – and before you start sending me your questions and telling me your troubles, let me explain what I mean. I played couples – married or not – who make or have made beautiful music together – literally. Where did the therapy come in? Wouldn’t you find it therapeutic to hear wonderful music like this?
