Election Day Warmup Song Ballot
The musical content of Friday night's Spinning On Air will be determined by votes from the listeners. Here's an advance "absentee" ballot you can submit now, and host David Garland will take email votes during the show (9-11 pm). Listeners will vote for their preferred choice of two different possibilities for each musical selection, for example Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In the Wind" or The Free Design's "Kites Are Fun," Red Mitchell's "Declaration of Interdependence" or John Wayne's "The Pledge of Allegiance," Serge Gainsbourg's "New York USA" or Beverly Kenny's "This Little Town is Paris." There will be a mix of styles, and of familiar and obscure pieces. Garland will be joined by songwriter and raconteur Sport Murphy, and Garland and Murphy will each "campaign" for one of the alternatives in each pair. The point will be to give listeners a little bit of practice in making decisions and casting votes; kind of a warm-up for Tuesday! (That, and a fun music show.)
