I got a bit of a surprise this morning when I entered the studio. Two guys were in the studio doing a new show. Their names are Hal and Tyler and the show is called Wide Open. It's a mixed bag of music and thoughts. I didn't think anyone besides me would want to get up at those hours on Sunday morning, but these guys have taken on the 6-8 a.m. slot preceding me. Thanks for helping with a gracious transition and welcome to Sunday morning, fellows!
Segment 1: Complicated Love-The Sequel
I've been promising this theme for awhile and so, here it is this week...complicated love, the sequel! Back in March I did a show like this which looked at the complicated aspects of love and tried to tell some stories within the theme. I'll try that again this time out and as with last time, I'll have a question for you which I'll ask in the next set. But this first set is devoted to liars, cheaters, players, what they do to people. We've all known a few of those, right?
Bob Kuban and the InMen – The Cheater
Del Shannon – Little Town Flirt
Johnny Mathis – What Will My Mary Say
Beach Boys - Surfin Safari (It has been this kind of week for me here at RFN. I had the wrong disc in the wrong case. So let's say someone cheated on someone by taking somebody surfing!)
Brenda Lee – Fool #1
Lesley Gore – Maybe I Know
Knickerbockers – Lies
Segment 2: Record Box
OK, to start this set out is my question for this show: can you be in love with someone you don't like? First, the Beatles weigh in on the question.
Thanks to all for the responses on Facebook! Most folks said something to the effect of "yes, but..." in that you can love someone but not like what they do.
Beatles – You Really Got A Hold On Me
Petula Clark – I Couldn't Live Without Your Love
Patsy Cline – Sweet Dreams (Of You)
Gene Pitney – Half Heaven Half Heartache
Segment 3: Soul Stew
Well, Gene Pitney led us off with a look at heartache which will continue for a little bit in the soul stew portion. To continue that, great minds think alike.
Supremes – Nothing But Heartaches
Flirtations – Nothing But A Heartache
Segment 4: Non-oldie/Current/New
We didn't do a current/non-oldie segment last week due to the 70s show so we're going to make up for it a bit this week. Probably one of the things that makes love so complicated is communication, or lack thereof. I discovered this first song a while back which to me completely nails that problem between a man and a woman --so it was a no-brainer for me to use it in this show.
Greg Lamboy – War of Words
Beth Nielsen Chapman – Trying To Love You (Beth wrote the song, also recorded by Trisha Yearwood. I also had her version and wanted to use that but I had a time issue...Beth's was shorter).
Louise Mosrie – Maybe I'm Your Angel
Semisonic – She's Gone To The Movies
Frequency To The Heart
Encouraging Words – December 2009
Well, at least the players worked this time. But in my haste to try to fit that one last song in, I forgot to switch the mike over at the end so people probably heard only half of the encouraging words. I probably should have left that out.
I think I'm glad this weekend in radio is over. I want an engineer for Christmas.
