Hi Brian! This background is what I call "December Blue." I tend to get generally a little blue in December and I find that color soothing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:44pm
Irene Trudel:

Thanks Sean and Sylvia. Yes, a lotta nice memories of my dad. He was a music lover, mostly of classical orchestral pieces. I added a sweet boyhood picture of him a my Facebook profile today. www.facebook.com...

FYI, I will not be doing a show next Monday. I have to take off to oversee a sound installation for my work. Larry Grogan will bring his fine "Testify!" program to you in my place.

So my top five in no special order that gets me slightly agitated:

Slade

Maria Carey

Wham

Chris Rea

And Boney M

Over to you folks to name your tunes that gets you edgy! Your are in a supermarket/Store/ department and you are in a hurry and the these particular songs are playing
Avatar 1:14pm
Stork:

As I said when I played 2(!) tracks from this wonderful album on the tribute last night, this is just about my favorite Brubeck album - and Desmond told Dave that it was his favorite record, period! This version of the Koto song, with Paul clacking the keys on the intro - heaven!! Thanks, Irene! Thanks Dave and Paul!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:16pm
Irene Trudel:

Hiya, Constant Follower, Dean and Stork! Sounds nice, Dean! I'll check into it more after the show.

@Sean in Bristol: Hands down, it's George Michael doing - -"that song." I won't pronoune it's name lest it come alive. Ahh, hell, now it's in my brain again!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:19pm
Irene Trudel:

Sean, I have a big list of not-to-be-played Xmas tunes that I can do without ever hearing again. They will not be a part of my show on the 21st, I can assure you.

Thanks, Honeybear! So am I. It was hard to get to sleep after that, I was still so excited.

Hope to catch you live when civilization resumes, Constant Follower - perhaps in the UK, or on the continent somewhere?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:31pm
Irene Trudel:

Sean, Stork, top of the no-play list is McCartney's xmas tune-- totally insipid! I won't mention the title, lest it gets stuck in your head.
Avatar 1:32pm
Constant Follower:

Thanks Honeybear. Man, I miss gigs. Can't wait for them to return! Will certainly be touring the album if allowed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:35pm
Irene Trudel:

Honeybear, I totally look forward to when civilization returns. All this abstinence from live in-person musical performance is really crushing my soul.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:46pm

Sorry. I am late for my weekly class! Maybe "civilization" is not the best word, considering what damage civilization has done to this planet. Just sayin.'

Oh, and enough covidaloca! Out, out 2020!!

Irene Trudel:

Hey alanr and Michael! Yep, 2020 can't be gone soon enough.
Avatar 1:57pm
Honeybear:

Am definitely feeling my soul "compressed" by the absence of live music. But I've also been able to use the all that time at home to dig deeper into my personal (and the WFMU) archives in ways I could never quite find the time for... having spent nearly all that time out and about (pre-oblivion)

Even just managing my notes on music I -know- about (and want to find out more about) takes time.. and I never had that time before, until now

Hi Irene; just back from the subway system.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:11pm

Hey TDK60! I'm still a little weirded out by traveling the subway but have braved them a few times. I've been reassured by reports of their safety.

Howdy, Irene & All;
I always enjoy hearing A Salty Dog. The Procol Harum version is a wonderful prog-rock parody of prog rock, grandiose and absurd
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:14pm
Irene Trudel:

I've always loved A Salty Dog, Cronbat! One of the earliest things I remember hearing on FreeForm FM radio.
Avatar 2:17pm
TDK60:

Irene, Luckily most NYCers wear masks (96%?). Most of the non-masked seem to be teens thinking they're being rebellious when in reality, they're not.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:26pm
Webhamster Henry:

Dave's show is so friendly!
Reminds me of Marian McPartland's old show where's she'd have a session of Jazz shop talk and then a duet.
Avatar 2:28pm
Stork:

I loved Marian M.'s show so much, Henry. I played some track of her with Dave Brubeck last night - the two are a very large joy to hear.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:28pm
Irene Trudel:

Yes Henry! That's a great comparison. For those who don't know Dave's show, he often performs live duets on baritone sax with his guests.
Avatar 2:36pm
TDK60:

Haven't heard the latest David C. album, till this track.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:37pm
Brian in UK:

This is an unheard previously Crosby vocal sound.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:39pm
Irene Trudel:

TDK60 and Brian, Crosby's past four albums have a similar vibe. Beautiful stuff. I think it's some of his best work.
Avatar 2:39pm
TDK60:

Hi Brian in UK. I heard his two previous albums and his voice sounded higher than the old days, to me. I thought it's usually lower as singers age. [?]
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:42pm
Irene Trudel:

It's surprising to me that Crosby's voice is still intact, given his past. The one thing I do notice is a bit of a lisp.
Avatar 2:42pm
Constant Follower:

I was just imagining some Scott fitting into this beautiful set Irene!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:45pm

Did you turn me on to Scott William Urquhart, CF? Lovely playing.

He recorded this in my wee studio - full album in one take.

I saw Cros at Lincoln Center Out of Doors a couple of summers ago.. He and band were fabulous! His voice intact for sure. Made my heart smile!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:52pm
Brian in UK:

TDK60 to be honest the Byrds were my compass from '65 but I found Crosby the odd man out.

Constant Follower, good work.

I found today's program to be not at all a downer, Irene - but right on the money for current season (and for where we are in the "great oblivion"). That is to say: warm, human, reflective.
