Playlist For Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023: Damn October, You Crazy!

My demon child, Bellisant, is still here, under-foot, so this will be pithy and damn short, because I'm socializing, celebrating many birthdays, baking cakes (eating cakes), and enjoying general foo-fah-rah. Yay, October! 

 

We had a great time co-hosting last Sunday, larkin' about with Broadway on Jazz90.1... and taking your calls of donation (THANK YOU so much to all who donated!). It's much more fun to drive that pledge car when you have the energy of a co-host to banter with AND appreciative listeners who connect (and contribute). 

 

So that puts us mid-month, and mid-Pledge Drive...and we're gettin' there, folks! I've picked out some goodies for this week, hopefully to please the likes of you Broadwayphiles, like an Uptown/Downtown (but no Downton!) set, some Henry Mancini themes, a Sondheim "flight" or two, especially a hefty bit of Forum. In fact, our opener will be the same one I used to launch the very first 2 On The Aisle 11 years ago, Forum's Overture. The exact date of that new born 2OTA, I believe, was Oct. 28th, 2012, but hey, close enough. I pushed a button, the CD managed to start, I took several deep breaths (into a paper bag), and the rest is sorta "radio history." (DO note the quotes.)

 

 If you haven't dropped anything into the Jazz90.1 coffers yet, please consider it. We promise to put whatever the amount you give to good use: No croissants for me and Otto on Sundays, no earring bonus at the end of the year, no cruises to Timbuktoo (sp?) or Atlantis. We'll behave.

And we'll just keeping playing! :)
