Playlist for Sunday, Oct. 28, 2018: Ulalume was never a musical, and I know why!

Dank. Dark. Dismal...and HAIL? It's the middle (okay, late middle) of October. Things should be crisp, like pizza crust , and bright orange, like my Walmart door wreath. Not like this dank tarn of Auber, like this ghoul-haunted woodland of...I'll stop. Focusing on it just makes things worse. When you've come from 4 days in Paris (sunny, warm, and ne dank pas!), Rochester's ashen and sober nails me!

We did well in Paris, btw...taking the metro hither and yon, imbibing in wines and cuisine formidable, and not embarrassing ourselves too much as the pigeon-French-talking tourists we are. Lots of sweet memories to help soothe the savage beast that is ROC Reality! Carol Burnett once missed "The Swamps of Home"...and I'm relating.

And under all the "Mattress"-es and Tenderloins and Mames, remember the Jazz 90.1 Fall Pledge Drive is still driving! We're well past the halfway mark, but we still need donations; it takes only $55,000 for the next six months to make it all happen, every day of the week... to keep the music playing (how do you keep the music playing? BY DONATING, you nut!). So while I'm spinnin' the Broadway platters, call me up (585 966 5299) or jump on Jazz901.org, and GIVE!

So the Magic To Do on Sunday will be in your hands (and wallets). Please be generous, and maybe we could meet for croissants and a good cry. :)
