Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from November 20, 2020 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

I've signed in to the comment board, but I haven't turned the show on yet. The shame of it!

Hello! Whoa! Witchy!

I've gone straight to Discogs and ordered Cowardy Custard.

very glad to inspire this diciassette :)

The music is on now. It does add to the playlist experience really.

Helllooooooooo!
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 7:17pm
Listener Gregory:

I am rereading Gravity's Rainbow, with a helpful guide which tells me that Thomas Pynchon hates Noel Coward, and negative references to him can be found back to his first short stories and at various places in Gravity's Rainbow.
This knowledge will surely come in handy some day.
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 7:20pm
Listener Gregory:

E.G., when someone is acting overly civilized, a character asks, "Is this Noel Coward or some shit?" (Please excuse my French.)

lol uncyclopedia.ca...

hey doctorjazz :D

@Gregory: That's hilarious, Sondheim hates him too, they should form a support group
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:31pm

@diciassette: this is amazing and so specific
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:31pm
diciassette:

not sure if I like that site!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:32pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

it does seem a bit mean spirited
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:33pm
diciassette:

It seems really un-Canadian!

Webhamster Henry:

Hi Acidified Fingers!
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 7:38pm
Listener Gregory:

@diciassette, very interesting! Pynchon is not easy going. The helpful guide brings out a lot of things I wouldn’t notice and also explains how carefully structured the book is. But it’s not for everyone.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:41pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Hey Henry, we just had a not since carrie special lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:42pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

One of these dudes sounds kinda like a 1920s Michael Nesmith
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:43pm
doctorjazz:

Love these 20s choruses!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:45pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

hard to believe it's been 100 years since some since of the great musical theatre writers got their start
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 7:47pm
Listener Gregory:

Those chesty voices were super popular back in the 20s, but I find them borderlines listenable today.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:49pm
Webhamster Henry:

I used to have a piano roll (and matching reproducing piano) of "Selections from Sunny"
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 7:50pm
Listener Gregory:

I guess we can thank Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby for changing that.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:51pm
Webhamster Henry:

Thank the Microphone - the sine qua non of crooning.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:51pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

see i LOVE that type of voice lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:54pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

anyone know what's happening on this album cover? i dont get it
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:56pm
diciassette:

My tooth thinks it has something to do with dental work
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:57pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

this song sort of has the same energy as "a hundred ways to lose a man"
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:57pm
diciassette:

I discovered Elaine Stritch on 30 Rock, and I have been in awe ever since!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:58pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Elaine Stritch Fact: She was the first choice to play Ursula in The Little Mermaid, but was fired because she kept fighting with Howard Ashman
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:59pm
Webhamster Henry:

As The Girls Go is one of the very few shows that has a recording of Burlesque Comedian Bobby Clark.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:00pm
Webhamster Henry:

His visual trademark was painted on glasses.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:05pm
diciassette:

Bronwyn, do you like it when Chet Baker sings?
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 8:05pm
Listener Gregory:

I listened to this record about a thousand times as a kid. Sniff!
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 8:10pm
Listener Gregory:

Barbara Cook could have sung in one of those old operettas, but I like her anyway.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:13pm
WR:

Hi folks, here to hear for the 2nd hour.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:19pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

hey WR :D
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:20pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@diciassette: I've barely ever listened to Chet Baker so I don't really have an opinion, I need to listen to him more!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:20pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Gregory: She was in Candide which is basically an operetta
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 8:26pm
Listener Gregory:

Right! Awesome Cunegonde.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:26pm
diciassette:

I was curious because, as a vocalist, I'm not sure how to classify him
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:26pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

I want to extend a big thank you by the way to diciassette and Listener Laura in Rockaway Beach for their generous pledges, I keep forgetting to thank them in my mic breaks
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:26pm
Webhamster Henry:

Barbara Cook was delightful! Check out her concert recordings too.
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 8:30pm
Listener Gregory:

If you can see the film Let’s Get Lost (about Chet Baker), do so!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:32pm
diciassette:

I will definitely definitely. I saw Chet Baker in a bathtub in a Mina video! (which was from a movie that is hard to find around here)
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 8:35pm
Listener Gregory:

It may be hard to find. I believe there were problems with music rights or something, and so it may not have made it onto DVD. For some time it was impossible to find, but hopefully that’s been resolved.
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 8:36pm
Listener Gregory:

Les Amants de la Bastille is the Frenchest possible title for a play.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:40pm
diciassette:

Aha! Evidence! youtu.be...
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:55pm
doctorjazz:

Baker was such a sad figure, but I liked his music.
Avatar 🎭 ♥ 8:56pm
Listener Gregory:

More operetta? Belt it out, brother!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:57pm
doctorjazz:

Thanks, Bronwyn! Nice weekend all!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:57pm

Sam Levene was absolutely marvelous in The Killers! Sam Levene was absolutely marvelous! And he has met the Queen
