Show titles

Okay, gents, I could use your suggestions.

Starting next Saturday, I'll be adding a new shift on KSER.

It won't be that big a deal -- just a Saturday afternoon shift, once every three months. Bryan Ollie gave up his weekly show, "The Soul & Funk Express," when the pandemic began. Since then, that time slot has been divided up among four DJs, each of whom brings his/her own twist to the soul/funk/R&B format. That leaves the fifth Saturday, every three months, to be taken by one of the four ... so a couple of them contacted me, to ask if I'd consider taking it.

What I need is a title for my new little show. Each of those four DJs uses a different title for their own two-hour program.

It depends what types of music you're gonna play in that niche. These song titles would make good names and fit wide variety of styles:
George Benson - Breezin'
Cameo - Feel Me
Shakatak - Streetwalkin'
Lonnie Listen Smith - A Garden of Peace
Nina Simone - Fine and Mellow
The Jets - Private Number

Though I’m hardly jingoistic, I love the phrase “e pluribus unum”. (sadly it seems the country is trying like heck to erase that motto, but I digress….)

Regardless, “out of many, one” is a nice encapsulation of your show, Delvin. You’re nothing if not diversified and eclectic, and I love it.

(Maybe there’s a cooler way to express the notion for a radio slot….?)

Ugh, just realized I may have missed the point of the exercise if you’re going to maintain the musical style.

As a nod to Eddie Murphy and ‘coming to America’ maybe I’d go with “Sexual Chocolate”.

On the Good Foot.

I’ve always sucked at titles, by the way.

Oh, I’m definitely awful at it, but love trying:

“Jamming on the one”

"On the Good Foot" has a nice ring to it! Thanks Michael!

(Whew ... for a minute there, I thought I might be doomed to host a show called "Sexual Chocolate.")

(Sorry, but hey - don't hand me straight-lines!)

Hey, after the posts I spent vamping on Hoip Chiggs' name, I deserve no less!

The referent here is a Jazz record, but I always thought a good name for a show would be "Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy."

Actually, D.R., if I ever come up with an offshoot show that focuses on prog, I might just use that! (Not likely, because my depth of knowledge of prog would be insufficient to support such a show.)

I Like Your Old Funk Better Than Your New Funk

Again, thank you all for the great suggestions. I had a last-minute inspiration: "A Fifth of Soul." I thought it tied in neatly with the fact that it's only on the fifth Saturday of the month (when such a Saturday occurs) as well as tying into the Seventies hit single "A Fifth of Beethoven."

Today's inaugural program went very well! Of course, it's familiar territory, since I used to guest-host "The Soul & Funk Express" pretty frequently.
