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.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (6.2.12)

30 May

HINT:

This week Turntable For One will be dedicated to a national pastime – one that has nothing to do with bats, balls and designated hitters. 

 

Think about it. That’s either the totally easiest, most obvious hint I’ve ever given you or the most impossibly hopelessly unsolvable one. Thoughts?

What’s Pi a la mode? Have you ever had a close shave using Ockham’s razor? If you aren’t part of the problem nor part of the solution, what are you?

PLAYIST FOR “TRIBUTE TO THE PREPOSITION” (5.19.21)

21 May

I’ve been on vacation, so last Saturday’s show was from what I call the archive and some of you call the crypt.  Thanks a lot.  

Here’s a link to the playlist when the show aired live in February. 

https://turntableforone.com/2012/02/19/playlist-for-tribute-to-the-preposition-2-18-12/

 

I’m back and this Saturday’s show will be new. Drop back on Wednesday for a hint about the theme. Special imaginary prize for the first ten people who do.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (5.12.12)

9 May

Due to a sports-related injury — while  jogging my memory and leaping to a conclusion, I strained my credulity — I’m going to have to sit this one out.

The good news is Will Duchon, host of Friday Evening Classics and The Night Cafe, will be sitting this one in for me.  

Want a hint about Will’s musical theme for the night?

HINT:

What do people always talk about and yet never do anything about?

An evening of music about Campaign Finance Reform? Not even close!  Deporting the Kardashians? Unfortunately, no. 

Find out this Saturday night at 10:00    Turntable For One with guest-host, Will Duchon     Live radio on WMNR, Fine Arts Radio, and wmnr.org

HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (4.28.12)

25 Apr

HINT:

Do you believe in mind over matter? Do you believe that if there’s a will, there’s a way? Are you much admired for what everyone calls a ‘Can-Do’ attitude? If so, then the music this week on Turntable For One is definitely going to upset you.

I know I can’t wait!
