TURNTABLE FOR ONE

I dusted off a couple shows from the Turntable For One archives and took the weekend off. Miss me? Well, I’ve been getting ready for an extra-special show this coming Saturday. Be here Wednesday and I’ll give you a hint.

For those of you who can’t get through an hour of  me without a drink or two, this show was for you!

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN

What’s the difference between a Dream and a Plan? Well, I’ve been having a lot of bad dreams lately, a lot of bad plans, too. Dreams aren’t real and they don’t come true…of course, most of my plans don’t come true, either. You know, maybe there’s no difference at all. Both of them end in disappointment and heartache – but not when singers like the ones I played are singing about plans they’re making!

Kicking yourself because you didn’t listen to this week’s show? Two things: Be sure to kick yourself where it won’t show when you go to work; and, better yet, listen to a Turntable For One podcast on PRX, the Public Radio Exchange. Click the link below:
