This is the 50th anniversary of the death of Billy Strayhorn. Billy probably won’t be celebrating, but is there anything we could do?

They say that there’s more that unites us than divides us. Well, not on Turntable For One, I’m happy to say. Lots of opposing viewpoints, lots of opposing styles, and lots of songs about “having” and “not having”. And a good time was had by all…okay, maybe only by the host.

Duke Ellington is supposed to have said that there are just two types of music – good and bad. Types of people? That’s not so simple. For instance, there are people who listen to Turntable For One and those who don’t (more to be pitied than censured). There are people who see the glass as half-full, while others see it as half-empty (I’m more worried about who’s been drinking from my glass). And I can think of yet another way to characterize the troubling gulf that separates people today. No way I’m going to fix it, but I think I can get two hours of great music out of it.

Most of these songs are losers, Oscar losers, that is. (Though none of the singers and musicians are.) In addition to paying tribute to the Oscar nominated songs, I also took time out to pay tribute to Sweden and Swedish jazz singers in their time of tears and trial following the terrorist attacks that so surprised, if not stunned, us all when we heard about them.

Floods are raging, so are voters; people are being kept out of the country, kept out of bathrooms, and kept out of the loop. Surely I can get a musical theme out of all that important news. Oh, wait – isn’t it Oscar week?

It’s true that smiling requires more muscles than frowning, which must be why smiling always tires me so quickly. Still, considering all that we know and fear about the world today, I thought it was worth spending a couple hours focusing on laughing and smiling. Okay, I didn’t feel any better at the end of the program, but at least I got to share some great songs and singers and some of my favorite laughs.

It seems to me that you always and only have two choices. Doesn’t matter what it is, a question, a news story, a ballgame, an election – whatever – you have the same two choices: laugh or cry. I’ll be flipping a coin on Saturday to see which we’ll do.

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.
