Old, New, Borrowed and Blue

Feeling down?

Not at all; it was just the first topic I could think of (actually, the first topic was self-love, ahem, but I could not come up with a borrowed song - did get "Captain Jack" by Billy Joel, "Pictures of Lily" by The Who and "I Touch Myself" by The Divinyls into my mix, though).

Well Jespah - when I was a teenager living in NJ, wnew 102.7 was my radio station of choice - I can't even begin to express how important a part they played in my life: 6:00 -10:00 am, Dave Herman was the dj - I don't know who was 10-2 (because I was in school that whole time) 2-6 was Scott Muny - and 6-10 pm was Dennis Elsis ( who was my favorite). Anyway - in the morning 6-10 they did this something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue theme and I learned so many of my favorite songs through this.

My favorite girl's name is Mary - I couldn't use it for my daughter as I had a boy first and I named him Joseph - but anyway:

Something old:
Something new (er):
something borrowed (Mary J. Blige singing)
and for Christmas - something blue

Excellent!

Winter (not the holidays)
Old: In the Wintertime - Steve Miller

New: Wintersong - Sarah McLachlan

Borrowed: The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo) - Manfred Mann (the original was by Bob Dylan)

Blue: Hazy Shade of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel

I find this thread interesting, just haven't made the time to join in, as yet.

I've found it's easier to start with either a newer song or a cover and then work my way into it from there.

Theme: Breaking Up
Old - Neil Young - Only Love Can Break Your Heart
New - Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up
Borrowed - The White Stripes - Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
Blue - Bob Dylan - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

Thank you jespah and again - thanks for posting this thread - I'd not have thought of it and I really enjoy it.

I heard Steve Forbert sing for the first time in a long time tonight - I was at the show where he sang this song and I love it-there's only one Steve Forbert:
Something old - There's everybody else and then there's you:


Something new- You are the only exception:

Something Borrowed - One


Something blue: I can't live with or without you

Back from a long retirement.

Back in 1996 I did a show on college radio that was called 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue' that followed exactly the format you've described.

Please forward the royalty checks to my inbox.

Sorry - but I think Dave Hermann - the 10 am-2pm dj on 102.7 WNEW fm (New York City) probably pipped you as I know he did it every morning - late seventies/early eighties- my mom was a nurse and she worked seven to three thirty (half an hour for lunch) - so I could skip school and she'd never know - she was gone by 6:30 and not home till around 4 - so I'd just pretend I'd gone to school (after I turned eighteen I could call in sick for myself) and I'd stay home and listen to music all day (while doing my homework - I DID always do my work -even if I didn't go to class everyday).

Well I can stand up in a court of law and say I've never listened to New York radio, I guess....
