The American Songbook

Hi Everyone!

Thanks so much for listening two weeks ago. And apologies for last week -- the computer decided to eat the final show 10 minutes before air. The show intended for last week will be on tomorrow, tweaked for timeliness. For those of you who want to know more about tt&t's first episode -- The American Songbook -- here's the playlist (that is, the songs and the people in the segments chronologically)

Song: Fanfare for the Common Man; Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra; Fanfare for the Common Man The Man and his Music
Conversation Starter: Yours truly on Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man
Song: Mr. Tambourine Man; Bob Dylan; Bob Dylan Live 1966: The Royal Albert Hall Concert
Song: A Fine Romance; Billie Holiday; First Issue: Great American Songbook
Tung in Cheek: Margaret Tung on street art
Song: The Only Living Boy in New York; Simon and Garfunkel; Bridge over Troubled Waters
Song: America the Beautiful; 'Keb 'Mo; Big Wide Grin
See You 'Round Campus: News summary and Interview with Meg Evans on study abroad
Serbin Speak and Sound: Rebecca Serbin on the sophomore slump, television, etc.
Song: The Man of Metropolis Steals our Hearts; Sufjan Stevens; Illinoise
Song: You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When you Go; Madeleine Peyroux; Careless Love

If you missed the show (or any show for that matter), I'm looking for ways to put streaming archives on this blog -- they'll be on WYBC's website eventually. In the meantime, shoot me an email at turbowtalktunes@gmail.com and I'll try to burn a CD for you (with not-great sound quality, but it's the best we've got).

Hope you listen tomorrow! It's going to be a great show -- Conversation Starter by Abby McCartney, a report on a Master's Tea with J.D. Salinger's Son by Amanda Glassman, and the Purple Crayon doing audio improv.

Happy Listening,
Sarah
