This week I’m going to explore (musically) the oldest, continuous, winner-take-all, take-no-prisoner, do or die battle known to man, and to women, too, of course.

No quirky, ironic theme this week (no way to top the world for quirky nor ironic these days), so I decided to play only new CDs. Okay, with a couple of exceptions.

This week I’m going to do something I’ve never done on the show before…and if I hear anyone say, “Be entertaining,” I’m coming to your house and taking away your radio!

What has two arms, two legs, and follows you everywhere…and isn’t your shadow, the I.R.S., or the C.I.A.?
Tune in Saturday night at 9:00 PM (E.D.T.) (GMT-4) to find out. Don’t be late. I’ll be taking attendance!

Remember when 140 characters meant a Tolstoy novel, not our major means of communicating with each other? Remember when Snail Mail referred to the gender of a specie, not to the U.S. Postal Service? Remember when a sound bite was an accident with the neighbor’s dog, not a statement by a politician? (Although you’d probably be wise to get a rabies shot after both of those events.) We seem to have lost a number of things these days – skills such as logic, empathy, listening. This week I thought I’d tackle the lost art of letter writing with a couple dozen wonderful songs and singers on the topic.

A long time ago, back when Live Tweeting was something only birds did and when Rash was just a skin condition and not the condition of the electorate, people took the time to communicate in a very precise and particular way. I’m going to pay tribute to that lost art this week.

A program for all the mothers in the audience, and for a change I meant it in a literal sense, not as a nasty pejorative. So it was two-hours of music about being a mother, caring for their kids, worrying about their kids, and advising their kids – any of which can be taken to an uncomfortable extreme…but maybe that’s just my story.

With Mothers Day approaching, I’m sure we’re all thinking about our moms. If yours was like mine, she must have reminded you regularly that being a mother is a difficult and often thankless job. You know what mine never told me? It’s also a job with no salary! (I can’t believe the things I did to meet her weekly pay check.) Want to hear some more things my mother never told me?

We celebrated International Jazz Day with some of the best jazz singers and musicians in the world. But I also invited a number of international jazz singers and radio people to say hi to my audience and introduce one of their favorite singers or important influences. A good time was had by all – especially me.
