Listener comments!
	7:03pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Bronwyn! My ex was in A Little Night Music a few years ago. Lots of fun!
	🎭 7:03pm Listener Gregory: Good evening. This is groovy.
	7:06pm doctorjazz: Hi Bronwyn, WH, and all you out there.
	7:06pm doctorjazz: And hi LG!
	7:08pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hey Henry, Gregory and doctorjazz!!!
	🎭 7:12pm Listener Gregory: Doctor!
	7:16pm doctorjazz: Hits! Nothing but His!
	7:17pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Bronwyn and acid gang!
	7:19pm Webhamster Henry: I miss Raul Julia. I saw this show, thought it was awful.
	7:22pm Bronwyn Bishop: @doctorjazz: I thought this show could use some hits once in a while lol
	7:22pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Lizzie :D
	7:23pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: Why awful? I am interested in ur nine opinions!! Frank Rich hated it too
	🎭 7:23pm Listener Gregory: Pet Clark is rolling in her grave.
	7:24pm Bronwyn Bishop: And also Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, from whom this song was ripped off (well, they're alive, but still)
	7:24pm Webhamster Henry: It was kind of unnecessary, padded and I was pretty offended at the Germans at the spa number. Sheesh!
	7:25pm Webhamster Henry: I think Skid Row is a fine opening number - it established the parodic nature of the show!
	🎭 7:27pm diciassette: Bonjour tout le monde !
	🎭 7:30pm Listener Gregory: Parody is fair game (Downtown)!
	7:32pm Bronwyn Bishop: Bonjour diciassette!!
	7:32pm Bronwyn Bishop: Skid Row is actually a parody of the Crystals' Uptown, a song I was unaware of until I saw the Carole King musical
	7:32pm doctorjazz: No complaints, Bronwyn, enjoying the set! (Just so different from the obscurities and flops we often hear-which I also enjoy, btw)
	7:33pm doctorjazz: If you know that Crystals song, it jumps out.
	🎭 7:38pm Listener Gregory: And was Uptown a response to Downtown?
	7:38pm Webhamster Henry: Lotsa Sondheim tonight!
	🎭 7:38pm Listener Gregory: The wit of Cole Porter is still striking.
	7:40pm Bronwyn Bishop: His lyrics make me want to throw out all my lyrics (so do most of these lyricists actually)
	🎭 7:42pm diciassette: I 🖤 Cole Porter
	🎭 7:42pm WR: hello Bronwyn and gang. I have been listening since the beginning but cooking. Food on the table and chewing and listening.
	🎭 7:43pm diciassette: Say! What's cooking WR?
	7:46pm doctorjazz: Four Jews... Great tune!
	🎭 7:46pm Listener Gregory: Interesting fact about Kiss Me Kate, BB.
	7:46pm Webhamster Henry: This is slightly different from the In Trousers version.
	7:46pm doctorjazz: Hysterical!
	🎭 7:46pm WR: basic iron + meal:, liver & onions, squash soup with broccoli & carrots, garlic mashed potatoes. sliced tomato
	7:47pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hey WR!! That sounds great!
	7:47pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love that song so much I wish it was 8 Jews in a room so it could be twice as long
	🎭 7:47pm diciassette: Sounds delish!
	7:48pm doctorjazz: Coming over, WR, I'll bring wine.
	7:49pm Webhamster Henry: Broadway: It's not just for gays anymore™
	7:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: AJH meetup at WR's house!!
	7:51pm doctorjazz: Could be beer...
	🎭 7:53pm WR: I gave blood yesterday, partner was told hemoglobin too low, so today's menu.
	🎭 7:56pm Listener Gregory: I wonder if one could make a jukebox musical out of Elvis’s movie musicals.
	7:56pm Bronwyn Bishop: That sounds fun!! Would probably be better than the actual Elvis jukebox musical, All Shook Up
	🎭 7:57pm diciassette: All this talk of hemoglobin is making he hungry for a Little Joe's special
	🎭 7:58pm Listener Gregory: Also would like to confess that in 7th grade, my school made a trip to Manhattan to see 1776, and it made an incredible impression on me. It was Hamilton before Hamilton.
	🎭 7:59pm Listener Gregory: And that line about most people embracing the possibility of becoming rich applies just as well in 2021.
	8:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: So many lines from 1776 still resonate today! It also weirdly predicted the drama of the 2020 election, with a lot of the same states playing the same roles, and the whole thing hinging on Georgia flipping at the last minute!!
	8:05pm northguineahills: Bronwyn!
	8:06pm northguineahills: very prescient, Bronwyn!
	8:07pm northguineahills: (GA was the last colony to join the Revolution).
	8:08pm Bronwyn Bishop: hey ngh :D
	8:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: You don't hear anyone playing the sweet potato any more? Why not? It has such a great playful sound.
	8:09pm Webhamster Henry: How you know America is in trouble: No Service Comedies related to the Global War On Terror or any of those other never ending wars.
	8:10pm northguineahills: It's only been 20 years, give it time. it's still recent history (by a historian's perspective).
	🎭 8:10pm diciassette: It's like, after Vietnam, they just ran out of steam!
	8:10pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: 1776 made an incredible impression on everybody I know and somehow I never have seen it. I have no excuse.
	🎭 8:13pm Listener Gregory: @SC Lizzie, I’m not sure the film was as well received.
	8:15pm Bronwyn Bishop: One of the comments on the YouTube video I pulled this from says "I love you forever and always 1921. I miss you forever and always 1921." Which implies that one of the oldest people in the world is listening to Al Jolson on YouTube
	8:17pm Bronwyn Bishop: Lizzie, I highly recommend the 1776 film (even though it was a flop at the time.) It's one of the best musicals ever and the performances are amazing! (But then check out the cast album for a much better-sung version of He Plays the Violin, as much as I like Blythe Danner)
	8:18pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Thanks for the tip! Very cool about the old person watching Al on YouTube. When I was a kid they still showed old cartoons from the 30s and 40s and I remember lots of parodies of what I later figured out was Al Jolson.
	🎭 8:18pm Listener Gregory: The Great Gatsby has just gone out of copyright. How many musicals can we expect from this in the next N years?
	🎭 8:19pm Listener Gregory: Speaking of the 1920’s.
	8:20pm Webhamster Henry: "I Love to Singa" with "Owl Jolson"
	8:22pm ifny: ooOooooooo just turned on the digital dial and loving this set. Yay hokum libre!
	8:22pm ifny: I've a mind to make breakfast in bed right this very gall-darn second.
	8:25pm Bronwyn Bishop: welcome ifny :D
	8:26pm northguineahills: @Henry: I got that reference!
	8:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: Gatsby would make an amazing musical!!
	8:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: I remember "I Love to Singa" because it was included as a featurette on the Happy Feet DVD, I found it strangely compelling at 12
	🎭 8:31pm Listener Gregory: Bronwyn, I'm just worried that it would make 10 musicals.
	8:31pm Webhamster Henry: I Love To Singa was a big audience pleaser when it would play at the Thalia Cartoon festivals.
	8:32pm northguineahills: Never saw Happy Feet. What's a DVD? 😁
	8:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: It would be like the Wild Party wars of 2000 all over again
	8:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: @ngh: Something we used to have back in 2006 ;)
	8:34pm northguineahills: Since I no longer have my garden of ghost peppers, I've lost my capsaicin tolerance. I got thai soup 5 stars spicy, wow, I needed this!
	8:34pm Bronwyn Bishop: a fellow spicy lover!! whats your favorite hot sauce?
	8:35pm Webhamster Henry: From DJ MAC on Facebook: I’m looking for help to either prove or disprove the last sentence of the following statement. On October 15, 1900, Bert Williams and George Walker opened their new show “Sons of Ham” at The Star Theatre located at 13th Street and Broadway in New York City. Due to their great success, others recorded songs from the show. In 1901, Bert and George were offered the opportunity to record songs from the show by The Victor Talking Machine Company. This would make these THE FIRST ORIGINAL CAST RECORDINGS from a Broadway show ever. ---- it turns out the "The Fortune Teller" operatta with Alice Nielsen beat it out at 1898
	8:36pm northguineahills: I prefer to make my own from scratch, if I can. For generic hot sauce for most cuisines, the Jamaican Grace works. I used to have many different hot sauces for specific dishes, as well as dried chilies.
	8:37pm Bronwyn Bishop: wow that's amazing!! 1898! i played something on the show once from 1894, but it wasn't a cast album
	8:37pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love that ngh, wish I knew how to make my own hot sauce
	8:41pm marpay: Never expected to hear this!❤️
	8:42pm northguineahills: If you want to see nearly kill myself before I grew my own bhut jolokias, you can watch this (I'm the lad in glasses (I did get second in the contest)). : www.youtube.com...
	8:42pm marpay: Love to hear The Merry Widow, any song from it❤️
	8:43pm ifny: Chiu chow chili oil is my go to. I plan to be buried in it.
	8:43pm northguineahills: (in the green shirt)
	🎭 8:44pm WR: i have two go to hot sauces: El Yucateca green chili habanero and Crystal. The Crystal is not very hot and is for dishes like beans where the vinegar component is important. The other is for more bite. Similar to NGH, I generally use dry or fresh pepper products in cooking as determined by the dish rather than adding sauce to the finished dish.
	8:44pm ifny: Strictly Dumpling has a good recipe for a Chinese chilli oil that's similar. It's easy to make at home and makes your home smell incredible. www.youtube.com...
	8:46pm northguineahills: partner was in the gray dress. My friend in the fro who won got really sick, and later spent the rest of the day in my toilet and my couch.
	8:46pm ifny: Thank you for the welcome Bronwyn! I was busy throwing a bun in the oven. (Well, a quiche, but that's not as fun to say. Lockdown requires a fantasy life of love.)
	🎭 8:46pm WR: will check that out later NGH.
	🎭 8:47pm Listener Gregory: At first I thought Carol Lawrence was Barbra Streisand!
	8:48pm ifny: @northguinea Congrats on placing second! I assume they demoted you for wearing safety glasses?
	🎭 8:49pm Listener Gregory: I am getting that Gene Barry's range is not quite an octave.
	🎭 8:49pm diciassette: El Yucateca XXX Mayan recipe, I like a lot
	🎭 8:50pm WR: ifny, you chili oil comments makes me realize that we have a whole array of sauces from our Nepal, Indian, Korean and Thai take out. They always give more than needed for the one meal.
	8:50pm Webhamster Henry: Any of you ever got to Hot Stuff, the spicy food + condiment store on Sullivan St about 25-30 years ago? I like the sambals.
	8:50pm northguineahills: I Like the tastes of El Yucateca, but some of the ingredients of their preservative hurt me.
	8:51pm doctorjazz: We don't do much got sauce here (everyone but me has GERD-over time I lost my taste for very spicy food (or I regenerated those Dead nerve endings, one or the other).
	8:51pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta dash a smidge early. Thanks for the lovely evening, Bronwyn!
	8:52pm Webhamster Henry: Have some hot sauce, Doug!
	8:52pm doctorjazz: The Dudley Moore is cool!
	8:52pm Bronwyn Bishop: aw thanks for listening doug!!
	8:52pm ifny: @WR there you go! Nothing like a hot array to put a smile on one's face.
	8:52pm northguineahills: After the video ended, my partner spent the rest of the day making fun of all us (at least I didn't get sick).
	8:52pm ifny: Ciao Doug, see you on the floop side!
	8:52pm Webhamster Henry: You know who else plays jazz piano ? Jeff Goldblum ... and Dustin Hoffman.
	8:53pm doctorjazz: And Clint Eastwood
	8:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: @ngh: thanks for the video, its great to actually see your face after all these years!
	🎭 8:53pm Listener Gregory: @doctorjazz, I had GERD for maybe 15 years, and then sometime last year I realized that I hadn't swallowed a Tums in a week. It seems to have just... disappeared. Is this beyond the ability of medicine to explain??
	8:53pm Webhamster Henry: Hugh Laurie used to be pretty good on the Fry & Laure show.
	🎭 8:53pm diciassette: My favorite habanara sauce is Mexico Lindo. It's bright orange and I have no idea what's in it o.O
	🎭 8:53pm Listener Gregory: Clint Eastwood's son is a professional jazz musician and composer, I believe. Kyle?
	8:54pm doctorjazz: LG, that's great, but you didn't do anything as far as diet, meds?
	8:54pm Webhamster Henry: I hate it when people obviously fake playing in a movie.
	8:54pm northguineahills: (It was trial through pain. The ghost peppers was the last round) The vlog host is an old college friend, probably why I agreed to participate. That I, just wanted to try ghost peppers....
	8:55pm northguineahills: Scott! Brel!
	🎭 8:55pm diciassette: That was very brave
	🎭 8:55pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, not that I can figure out. More exercise? Retired? Yet, I had a diagnosed hiatus hernia. Well, I'm not complaining.
	8:56pm ifny: Isn't Steven Fry musical as well? Composer?
	8:56pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ngh were you the middle guy with glasses? Impressive, I am a chili wimp. Ruth Gordon, the actress, wrote a couple of volumes of memoirs and she lived in NYC and knew everybody so they have tons of anecdotes about theater in the 20s, 30s, 40s. She's great and I recommend them highly.
	8:56pm doctorjazz: (could it be less stress, LG...?)
	8:56pm Bronwyn Bishop: Do any of you want to see the musical I wrote and directed at my college that was an illegal rewrite of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well? The answer is yes, you do. This song is in it: www.youtube.com...
	8:57pm ifny: YES WE DO
	8:57pm ifny: But I, for one, want to listen to your show first.
	🎭 8:57pm Listener Gregory: (Maybe. I hate to think so, but so long as it is gone, I'm in no position to complain.)
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Retiring could mean less stress-one of these years...
	8:58pm northguineahills: Wait, it's 9!!!??? Thanksewes Bronwyn!
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bronwyn, loved the show!
	8:59pm ifny: I once learned Jacques Brel's Amsterdam on the ukulele to impress someone. In French. #fanfaronne #bragarific
	🎭 8:59pm Listener Gregory: BB, very cheerful show today. Thanks.
	8:59pm northguineahills: Thanks Bronwyn, now I know what to do while doing laundry (your youtube link).
	9:00pm Webhamster Henry: You have to hear Brel's French version of Man of LaMancha - he was a huge fan.
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank you darlings <333
	🎭 9:00pm diciassette: ❤️
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: FRIDAYYYYYYYYYY
	🎭 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Mandy Patinkin day on Acid Jazz Hands!
	9:01pm ifny: Enjoyed the show immensely today. Thanks so much, and thanks everyone for the hot saucy comment board company!
	9:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: Fun Fact: My mom used to babysit for Mandy and Mrs. Mandy, and one time they invited her to a party with Diane Keaton
	🎭 9:02pm WR: thank you Bronwyn! and deep regards to all y'all AJH commentors, laters.
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: That IS fun! He has a house around here (Mid Hudson valley) .. but of course who can tell these days?
	9:02pm northguineahills: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: Yep, that was me. I barely got through a half then. When I had my own garden in Gainesville, I had 9 foot chili plants, and would eat the same peppers all the time w/ no ill effect.
	9:03pm ifny: I once learned Patinkin's "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" to impress myself. I was crushing hard at the time.
	9:03pm Webhamster Henry: 'till next week!
	9:04pm ifny: What were the Mandy children like? Unruly or ruly?
	9:07pm Bronwyn Bishop: I think they were probably pretty good kids, because my mom seemed to have a really good experience working for them and said Mandy and Kathryn were incredibly nice (Mandy has a reputation for being difficult, but seemingly only to people he's working with in a production)
	9:08pm ifny: Thanks! That's cool. Caring too much has a bad name. Have the most beautiful weekend of weekends!
	9:08pm Bronwyn Bishop: you too :D

	7:48pm doctorjazz: Coming over, WR, I'll bring wine.
	7:49pm Webhamster Henry: Broadway: It's not just for gays anymore™
	7:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: AJH meetup at WR's house!!
	7:51pm doctorjazz: Could be beer...
	🎭 7:53pm WR: I gave blood yesterday, partner was told hemoglobin too low, so today's menu.
	🎭 7:56pm Listener Gregory: I wonder if one could make a jukebox musical out of Elvis’s movie musicals.
	7:56pm Bronwyn Bishop: That sounds fun!! Would probably be better than the actual Elvis jukebox musical, All Shook Up
	🎭 7:57pm diciassette: All this talk of hemoglobin is making he hungry for a Little Joe's special
	🎭 7:58pm Listener Gregory: Also would like to confess that in 7th grade, my school made a trip to Manhattan to see 1776, and it made an incredible impression on me. It was Hamilton before Hamilton.
	🎭 7:59pm Listener Gregory: And that line about most people embracing the possibility of becoming rich applies just as well in 2021.
	8:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: So many lines from 1776 still resonate today! It also weirdly predicted the drama of the 2020 election, with a lot of the same states playing the same roles, and the whole thing hinging on Georgia flipping at the last minute!!
	8:05pm northguineahills: Bronwyn!
	8:06pm northguineahills: very prescient, Bronwyn!
	8:07pm northguineahills: (GA was the last colony to join the Revolution).
	8:08pm Bronwyn Bishop: hey ngh :D
	8:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: You don't hear anyone playing the sweet potato any more? Why not? It has such a great playful sound.
	8:09pm Webhamster Henry: How you know America is in trouble: No Service Comedies related to the Global War On Terror or any of those other never ending wars.
	8:10pm northguineahills: It's only been 20 years, give it time. it's still recent history (by a historian's perspective).
	🎭 8:10pm diciassette: It's like, after Vietnam, they just ran out of steam!
	8:10pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: 1776 made an incredible impression on everybody I know and somehow I never have seen it. I have no excuse.
	🎭 8:13pm Listener Gregory: @SC Lizzie, I’m not sure the film was as well received.
	8:15pm Bronwyn Bishop: One of the comments on the YouTube video I pulled this from says "I love you forever and always 1921. I miss you forever and always 1921." Which implies that one of the oldest people in the world is listening to Al Jolson on YouTube
	8:17pm Bronwyn Bishop: Lizzie, I highly recommend the 1776 film (even though it was a flop at the time.) It's one of the best musicals ever and the performances are amazing! (But then check out the cast album for a much better-sung version of He Plays the Violin, as much as I like Blythe Danner)
	8:18pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Thanks for the tip! Very cool about the old person watching Al on YouTube. When I was a kid they still showed old cartoons from the 30s and 40s and I remember lots of parodies of what I later figured out was Al Jolson.
	🎭 8:18pm Listener Gregory: The Great Gatsby has just gone out of copyright. How many musicals can we expect from this in the next N years?
	🎭 8:19pm Listener Gregory: Speaking of the 1920’s.
	8:20pm Webhamster Henry: "I Love to Singa" with "Owl Jolson"
	8:22pm ifny: ooOooooooo just turned on the digital dial and loving this set. Yay hokum libre!
	8:22pm ifny: I've a mind to make breakfast in bed right this very gall-darn second.
	8:25pm Bronwyn Bishop: welcome ifny :D
	8:26pm northguineahills: @Henry: I got that reference!
	8:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: Gatsby would make an amazing musical!!
	8:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: I remember "I Love to Singa" because it was included as a featurette on the Happy Feet DVD, I found it strangely compelling at 12
	🎭 8:31pm Listener Gregory: Bronwyn, I'm just worried that it would make 10 musicals.
	8:31pm Webhamster Henry: I Love To Singa was a big audience pleaser when it would play at the Thalia Cartoon festivals.
	8:32pm northguineahills: Never saw Happy Feet. What's a DVD? 😁
	8:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: It would be like the Wild Party wars of 2000 all over again
	8:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: @ngh: Something we used to have back in 2006 ;)
	8:34pm northguineahills: Since I no longer have my garden of ghost peppers, I've lost my capsaicin tolerance. I got thai soup 5 stars spicy, wow, I needed this!
	8:34pm Bronwyn Bishop: a fellow spicy lover!! whats your favorite hot sauce?
	8:35pm Webhamster Henry: From DJ MAC on Facebook: I’m looking for help to either prove or disprove the last sentence of the following statement. On October 15, 1900, Bert Williams and George Walker opened their new show “Sons of Ham” at The Star Theatre located at 13th Street and Broadway in New York City. Due to their great success, others recorded songs from the show. In 1901, Bert and George were offered the opportunity to record songs from the show by The Victor Talking Machine Company. This would make these THE FIRST ORIGINAL CAST RECORDINGS from a Broadway show ever. ---- it turns out the "The Fortune Teller" operatta with Alice Nielsen beat it out at 1898
	8:36pm northguineahills: I prefer to make my own from scratch, if I can. For generic hot sauce for most cuisines, the Jamaican Grace works. I used to have many different hot sauces for specific dishes, as well as dried chilies.
	8:37pm Bronwyn Bishop: wow that's amazing!! 1898! i played something on the show once from 1894, but it wasn't a cast album
	8:37pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love that ngh, wish I knew how to make my own hot sauce
	8:41pm marpay: Never expected to hear this!❤️
	8:42pm northguineahills: If you want to see nearly kill myself before I grew my own bhut jolokias, you can watch this (I'm the lad in glasses (I did get second in the contest)). : www.youtube.com...
	8:42pm marpay: Love to hear The Merry Widow, any song from it❤️
	8:43pm ifny: Chiu chow chili oil is my go to. I plan to be buried in it.
	8:43pm northguineahills: (in the green shirt)
	🎭 8:44pm WR: i have two go to hot sauces: El Yucateca green chili habanero and Crystal. The Crystal is not very hot and is for dishes like beans where the vinegar component is important. The other is for more bite. Similar to NGH, I generally use dry or fresh pepper products in cooking as determined by the dish rather than adding sauce to the finished dish.
	8:44pm ifny: Strictly Dumpling has a good recipe for a Chinese chilli oil that's similar. It's easy to make at home and makes your home smell incredible. www.youtube.com...
	8:46pm northguineahills: partner was in the gray dress. My friend in the fro who won got really sick, and later spent the rest of the day in my toilet and my couch.
	8:46pm ifny: Thank you for the welcome Bronwyn! I was busy throwing a bun in the oven. (Well, a quiche, but that's not as fun to say. Lockdown requires a fantasy life of love.)
	🎭 8:46pm WR: will check that out later NGH.
	🎭 8:47pm Listener Gregory: At first I thought Carol Lawrence was Barbra Streisand!
	8:48pm ifny: @northguinea Congrats on placing second! I assume they demoted you for wearing safety glasses?
	🎭 8:49pm Listener Gregory: I am getting that Gene Barry's range is not quite an octave.
	🎭 8:49pm diciassette: El Yucateca XXX Mayan recipe, I like a lot
	🎭 8:50pm WR: ifny, you chili oil comments makes me realize that we have a whole array of sauces from our Nepal, Indian, Korean and Thai take out. They always give more than needed for the one meal.
	8:50pm Webhamster Henry: Any of you ever got to Hot Stuff, the spicy food + condiment store on Sullivan St about 25-30 years ago? I like the sambals.
	8:50pm northguineahills: I Like the tastes of El Yucateca, but some of the ingredients of their preservative hurt me.
	8:51pm doctorjazz: We don't do much got sauce here (everyone but me has GERD-over time I lost my taste for very spicy food (or I regenerated those Dead nerve endings, one or the other).
	8:51pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta dash a smidge early. Thanks for the lovely evening, Bronwyn!
	8:52pm Webhamster Henry: Have some hot sauce, Doug!
	8:52pm doctorjazz: The Dudley Moore is cool!
	8:52pm Bronwyn Bishop: aw thanks for listening doug!!
	8:52pm ifny: @WR there you go! Nothing like a hot array to put a smile on one's face.
	8:52pm northguineahills: After the video ended, my partner spent the rest of the day making fun of all us (at least I didn't get sick).
	8:52pm ifny: Ciao Doug, see you on the floop side!
	8:52pm Webhamster Henry: You know who else plays jazz piano ? Jeff Goldblum ... and Dustin Hoffman.
	8:53pm doctorjazz: And Clint Eastwood
	8:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: @ngh: thanks for the video, its great to actually see your face after all these years!
	🎭 8:53pm Listener Gregory: @doctorjazz, I had GERD for maybe 15 years, and then sometime last year I realized that I hadn't swallowed a Tums in a week. It seems to have just... disappeared. Is this beyond the ability of medicine to explain??
	8:53pm Webhamster Henry: Hugh Laurie used to be pretty good on the Fry & Laure show.
	🎭 8:53pm diciassette: My favorite habanara sauce is Mexico Lindo. It's bright orange and I have no idea what's in it o.O
	🎭 8:53pm Listener Gregory: Clint Eastwood's son is a professional jazz musician and composer, I believe. Kyle?
	8:54pm doctorjazz: LG, that's great, but you didn't do anything as far as diet, meds?
	8:54pm Webhamster Henry: I hate it when people obviously fake playing in a movie.
	8:54pm northguineahills: (It was trial through pain. The ghost peppers was the last round) The vlog host is an old college friend, probably why I agreed to participate. That I, just wanted to try ghost peppers....
	8:55pm northguineahills: Scott! Brel!
	🎭 8:55pm diciassette: That was very brave
	🎭 8:55pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, not that I can figure out. More exercise? Retired? Yet, I had a diagnosed hiatus hernia. Well, I'm not complaining.
	8:56pm ifny: Isn't Steven Fry musical as well? Composer?
	8:56pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ngh were you the middle guy with glasses? Impressive, I am a chili wimp. Ruth Gordon, the actress, wrote a couple of volumes of memoirs and she lived in NYC and knew everybody so they have tons of anecdotes about theater in the 20s, 30s, 40s. She's great and I recommend them highly.
	8:56pm doctorjazz: (could it be less stress, LG...?)
	8:56pm Bronwyn Bishop: Do any of you want to see the musical I wrote and directed at my college that was an illegal rewrite of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well? The answer is yes, you do. This song is in it: www.youtube.com...
	8:57pm ifny: YES WE DO
	8:57pm ifny: But I, for one, want to listen to your show first.
	🎭 8:57pm Listener Gregory: (Maybe. I hate to think so, but so long as it is gone, I'm in no position to complain.)
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Retiring could mean less stress-one of these years...
	8:58pm northguineahills: Wait, it's 9!!!??? Thanksewes Bronwyn!
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bronwyn, loved the show!
	8:59pm ifny: I once learned Jacques Brel's Amsterdam on the ukulele to impress someone. In French. #fanfaronne #bragarific
	🎭 8:59pm Listener Gregory: BB, very cheerful show today. Thanks.
	8:59pm northguineahills: Thanks Bronwyn, now I know what to do while doing laundry (your youtube link).
	9:00pm Webhamster Henry: You have to hear Brel's French version of Man of LaMancha - he was a huge fan.
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank you darlings <333
	🎭 9:00pm diciassette: ❤️
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: FRIDAYYYYYYYYYY
	🎭 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Mandy Patinkin day on Acid Jazz Hands!
	9:01pm ifny: Enjoyed the show immensely today. Thanks so much, and thanks everyone for the hot saucy comment board company!
	9:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: Fun Fact: My mom used to babysit for Mandy and Mrs. Mandy, and one time they invited her to a party with Diane Keaton
	🎭 9:02pm WR: thank you Bronwyn! and deep regards to all y'all AJH commentors, laters.
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: That IS fun! He has a house around here (Mid Hudson valley) .. but of course who can tell these days?
	9:02pm northguineahills: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: Yep, that was me. I barely got through a half then. When I had my own garden in Gainesville, I had 9 foot chili plants, and would eat the same peppers all the time w/ no ill effect.
	9:03pm ifny: I once learned Patinkin's "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" to impress myself. I was crushing hard at the time.
	9:03pm Webhamster Henry: 'till next week!
	9:04pm ifny: What were the Mandy children like? Unruly or ruly?
	9:07pm Bronwyn Bishop: I think they were probably pretty good kids, because my mom seemed to have a really good experience working for them and said Mandy and Kathryn were incredibly nice (Mandy has a reputation for being difficult, but seemingly only to people he's working with in a production)
	9:08pm ifny: Thanks! That's cool. Caring too much has a bad name. Have the most beautiful weekend of weekends!
	9:08pm Bronwyn Bishop: you too :D
