PLAYLIST FOR “BROKEN HEARTS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY” (2.11.23)

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Do you love songs about falling in love? Being in love? Staying in love? If you answered Yes to any or all of those questions, you really had a rough flight on last night’s show. Because I love songs about heartache and heartbreak. So my V. Day gift to my audience was two hours of Broken Hearts for Valentine’s Day. I’m surprised the police didn’t break in to make a cardiac arrest.

PLAYLIST FOR “OUT-SOURCING” (6.9.12)

10 Jun

These are perilous times, especially for anyone who hates cliches. However, to show my true patriotic stripes, tonight on Turntable For One in a demonstration of economic austerity, I out-sourced all of the vocalists — to Canada. Not one of these vocalists was born in the U.S. of A., although many of them do have certain facial resemblances to actual Americans. Stay vigilant.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD or Album Title

MATCHMAKER MATCHMAKER / Sophie Milman / “Make Someone Happy”
THE BEST THING FOR YOU / George Evans / “Live At The Cellar”
SURREY WITH THE FRINGE / Emilie-Claire Barlow / “Haven’t We Met?”
TWENTIETH CENTURY / Joe Coughlin / “Thing Turn Out That Way”

WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I? / (Mystery Vocalist) / William Shatner
WELCOME TO MY LIFE / Nikki Yanofsky / “Nikki”
CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE / Michael Buble / “Call Me Irresponsible”
FOR NO ONE / Veronneau / “Joy Of Living”

THIS CAN’T BE LOVE / John Alcorn & Molly Johnson / “Quiet Night”
MOON RIVER / Melissa Stylianou / “Silent Movie”
LONELY TIME / (Theme Music) / Maynard Ferguson / “A Message From Birdland”
