What's that turtle quote? I typed that exact question into a Google Search box and I got Solomon talking about "the voice of the turtle is heard in our land." My daughter makes fun of me when I do that, phrase a search in terms of a question. (Back in the day, I "Asked Jeeves". I'm still asking!) Like when is the #42 bus coming to a stop near me? Why isn't my nail polish dry yet? How do you sync your Libby with your phone with your car with...the #42 bus? Stuff like that. But you know, it often works. :)

Anyway, the VOICE of the TURTLE is HEARD, says Solomon! Or maybe that's the sound of my irksome generator as it goes thru its weekly (weakly?) test. Whatever. But it IS here. I have seen 5 robins so far (or it's the same robin 5 times) and that proves it. Tis Spring. Well... at least once we get past this last predicted snowstorm/rain event/eclipse fever?
Maybe The Turtle is like The Groundhog. Both of 'em Oracles of Climate. Weather Harbingers. Yet why do we ask seasonal reports of these bossy, unscientific creatures? Isn't Science enough (I ask of Google/Jeeves/The Cosmos)?
But along with amphibians and Spring comes our Jazz 90.1 pledge drive. That, at least, is a certainty. And this coming Sunday (April 7th) starts my part of it, driving that pledge car first with Otto (from noon to 2pm that day), and second with Mary Ziarniak, avid Jazz 90.1 listener and a pal o' mine. (Not a palomino, which is very close, but no cigar.) She'll be bringing in a bevy of Broadway favorites, and will basically take over the show with all of her "requests". That's OK. It's the least I can do for her, as she'll be taking over the phone answering and donation duties of the day. She's only a bit bossy. :)
So as you can see by the playlist, The Music Man, Bye Bye Birdie (her hubby's name is Conrad), West Side Story, and Kinky Boots will dot our landscape.
But please give us a call during the show! We'd love to chat with you, as opposed to you donating online. And worry not re the size of your contribution...$5, $50, $500...we judge not the size! It all adds up to another season of Jazz, Blues, Fusion, Big Band, Computer help, annnnnd Broadway, for you and yours. Because without that support, there will be no Another Op'nin'. No Another Show. Just country music and talk radio. Ughsters on that.
So keep me spinning the MUSICALS! Like I wanna be. Drown out that damn turtle. He has no Broadway belt at all.
