I’ve got a few more Miracles in this We Can Do Magic Series!

Two words more closely related in the way we use them than you may have realized.

Then it's back to Magic for some Tricks.

I wonder, when a…

The idea I got at the end of last week’s show was that this is Holy Week for millions of Christians around the world.

So why not include Miracles in We Can Do Magic?

They are different, as Miracles suggest Divine Intervention.…

We are exploring and listening to Magic Songs in this Series of Programs called We Can Do Magic.

Does Hypnosis count?

Sure!

Then some fun with Magic Places.

I…

Continuing with Feats Of Legerdemain, and proving We Can Do Radio Magic.

Last week I started the show with a particular Magical Vehicle, and if it worked then it can again!

In fact I love this Song so much, I was dancing around and forgot the…

Continuing with We Can Do Magic, I’ll play a Song I remember and like a lot- a particular favorite of mine and I don’t give a damn who doesn’t like it, lol!

Then we’ll explore what I am calling Gender Magic.

Not what you may be thinking,…

It’s Week 2 of We Can Do Magic, and I’ll start off with a pretty popular band.

This is a listen to Magic Songs through the Rock & Roll Era, and some of them go way back to the early days and even a bit before.

Looking back it seems that…

It's a new Series with a new Theme, a Form Of Prestidigitation.

Or as most of us call it, Magic.

I should mention that March 24th was Harry Houdini's Birthday, just serendipity- unlike the previous Series he was not the inspiration for this…

No delay, moving right into a Series I’ve been wanting to do for years on the Theme Of Magic.

If I had to bet, I would say this will go on for 3 or 4 weeks- there are so many songs about Magic.

Beginning with an Opening Set I really like, there…

Loudon Wainwright III set the table at the end of the last Chapter.

This final Episode, it's songs about Famous Artists In History!

Beginning with the man who brung us to the party.

I'll have a song in…

I am reminded by Paintings of them, and it always makes me laugh that people are afraid of Clowns, lol!

But I will Paint You A Picture if that's what it takes to keep your interest in Art and Artists.

Among the things taken up in Song this…

Some Themes are tougher to do than others, that is the case with this one.

I'm not complaining mind you, there are many times I simply enjoy the challenge- that's the case here too.

What's the Most Famous Painting you can think…

I thought I would take some risks.

Looking at the Calendar, I saw that March 30th would be the 166th Birthday of Vincent Van Gogh.

That got me to wondering if there was enough Music to do a Theme show on Art & Artists.…

All good things must come to an end, although it may be presumptuous of me to say that this Series was a good thing, lol!

There's a Mr. Jones thing in here that's a bit different in this final episode of our extensive and extended look at Rock & Roll Mister Songs.…

The next to last Chapter of my exploration of Rock & Roll Mister Songs.

Not being a sexist about it, there are far more Mr. songs than Miss, Mrs. or Ms. songs combined.

The hardest part of this was choosing from so many…

This is IT, the Grand Finale for Circles!

Starting with a Set of Songs that were kind of Loose Ends, and have the Theme in common but little else, other than that I like them.

But man, is it a Mixed bag, lol!…

I am winding the Circles down, just this and one more Chapter, but I am going Round Again, and that’s the name of the first Song.

And I remind you this Series was prompted by the Circling Of The Calendar to a New Year- seems so long ago, lol!

I…

I heard myself say something just before the break, and that was enough to make me think of a Song, run around and find it and play it.

That's the Freedom of Free-Form Radio!

Then a Loose Wheel rolled by, lol!…

After a week off for Valentines, it's back to Circles.

It all started with the New Year, that Going Around The Calendar, and the possibilities are almost endless.

I'll pick it up where we left off with Wheels.…

It’s very near Valentine’s Day, and I am celebrating it, Sweet Little Devil that I am, lol!

I’ve got a very good opening set of Words Sung, that will definitely be Spoken in the next couple of days!

When you stop and think about it, for all the…

Hopeless romantic that I am, I thought I would take a brief detour from the Circles and spend some time with Valentine’s Day.

In fact I am going to bend that Circle, In The Shape Of A Heart!

Valentine’s Day is imminent, and if you don’t know…
