HINT FOR THIS WEEK’S MUSICAL THEME (7.3.21)

30 Jun

HINT: 

Waving Goodbye 1

It’s the last show of this season; so come wish me bon voyage on my two-month vacation. I won’t be saying goodbye, because a couple dozen wonderful singers will be doing it for me. (Hey – It just occurred to me the radio station didn’t buy me a return trip ticket.)

I started my Father’s Day celebrating early and didn’t do a live show. Instead, I pulled last year’s Dad’s Day show from the archive. This is what I said about the show a year ago: 

My annual salute to Dads with songs about dads, songs sung and written by dads, songs I think dads would/should sing, songs of fatherly advice, some songs I gave myself just as a Father’s Day present, plus a couple stories about my dad and about being a dad myself. In short, another wonderfully self-indulgent show. I am content.

Here I am in Stockholm a couple summers ago celebrating an annual National Holiday. Wear A Black Sweater Day? I celebrate that just about every day. Never Know When Someone Is Taking Your Photo Day?  I celebrate that just about every day, too. What I’m looking at? What kind of store sells them? You’re getting warmer.

PLAYLIST FOR “BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER…KINDA…SORTA” (5.15.21)
