I’m throwing a musical party this Saturday night, but before you break out the hats and horns, better check out the menu: sour grapes, bitter aftertastes, and stew in your own juices.

Also I’ll be sitting in with Will Duchon on The Night Cafe this Friday night at 10:00 PM with another hour of jazz vocals.

Talk to you Friday and Saturday Nights!

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (5.18.13)

8 May

Okay, let’s try this again, and this time I’ll go in and do the show.

HINT:

This week I might play “I’m In The Mood For Love,” but I won’t play “In The Mood.” I might play “I Think It’s Going To Rain Today,” but I won’t play “Stormy Weather.” I might play “I Talk To The Trees,” but I won’t play “Willow Weep For Me.”  

BONUS HINTS AS A REWARD FOR YOUR PATIENCE:

I might play “You Are Too Beautiful,” but I won’t play, “But Beautiful.” I might play “I Remember You,”  but I won’t play “Memories Of You.”

 

Have you guessed the theme yet? Tune in this Saturday night to find out if you’re right, or to keep me company, at the very least.
