	7:02pm Webhamster Henry: Allan Sherman, the king of alternate lyrics (along with MAD's Frank Jacobs).
	7:02pm doctorjazz: Nice to Allan Sherman! Hi!
	7:05pm doctorjazz: He's Got a bit of swing singer swagger to him! (But intonation, not so much...)
	7:07pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: "How can you say it's not a Jewish world when even the sun is named Sol?" - great Allan Sherman title! Hi Bronwyn, always a nice start to Friday night (I'm in San Jose).
	7:08pm Webhamster Henry: "In the show's most desperate moment, Harry and Pookie, celebrating their newfound happiness, raffled off a chicken to an audience member" -- Not Since Carrie on Fig Leaves Are Falling.
	7:10pm Webhamster Henry: Gettin' Industrial !
	7:11pm Asheville Jon: i do not like my insurance man.
	🎭 7:12pm diciassette: I, I, I, I, I, I, love Lee Remick
	7:13pm doctorjazz: Developed a love for Sondheim (took a bit)
	7:13pm Bronwyn Bishop: hi everyone!!
	7:14pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Asheville Jon: welcome!! I hope you find a better insurance man someday, one worthy of his own song
	7:16pm Asheville Jon: :D thanks Bronwyn. i do too, right now he is only worthy of my scorn. i listen often, just am not always able to comment
	7:16pm Webhamster Henry: My insurance man, probably sung by Beverly Lacek, Miss Illinois of 1967. "Everything's Coming Up Profits"
	7:17pm Webhamster Henry: I'm here with the footnotes.
	7:19pm Bronwyn Bishop: Yes, it was Beverly Lacek!
	🎭 7:20pm WR: I'm here with notably cold feet.
	7:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi WR!!
	🎭 7:29pm diciassette: Canonically Summer, but the first version I heard was by Andy Williams
	🎭 7:30pm diciassette: My feet were cold this morning, but they've warmed up quite a bit!
	7:30pm Webhamster Henry: Richard was singing Webb's "The Hive" on the Stork Show a few hours ago.
	7:31pm Webhamster Henry: Richard Harris that is.
	7:31pm Bronwyn Bishop: I wish I lived in the alternate universe where Macarthur Park had gone to Gene Pitney
	7:38pm Webhamster Henry: Sorry I didn't see City of Angels.
	7:38pm Doug Schulkind: Hiya, Bronwyn!
	7:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: It's time to revive it already
	7:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Doug :D
	7:42pm Roberto: This just in: RIP Christopher Plummer at 91 :/
	7:44pm Bronwyn Bishop: I heard about that earlier today. He was von Trapp of course and was the lead in one of the many, many musical versions of Cyrano. He also saved All the Money in the World, a movie I liked a lot. RIP
	🎭 7:45pm WR: I've been thinking a while about your Gene Pitney comment and I'm okay with Buddy Greco.
	7:46pm doctorjazz: The Hills Are Alive
	7:47pm Roberto: But not Christopher Plummer.
	7:48pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I've never seen The Sound of Music and nobody can make me! However I'm having fun singing along to G&S.
	🎭 7:48pm diciassette: The other day I watched Starstruck (1982) and was totally smitten! What a production
	🎭 7:49pm WR: doctorjazz! have you made your bandcamp selections yet? sadly i may have to sit this month out. too much cash out and not enough cash in recently...
	7:49pm Webhamster Henry: I was Born Under a Wandrin' Star / Lee Marvin is a WFMU staple.
	7:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: it says everything about wfmu that the database indicates that the soundtrack from the flaming disasterflop movie version of Paint Your Wagon has been played many times, but this is the first time anyone's played the successful Broadway cast album
	7:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: i say that with love
	7:51pm Webhamster Henry: Yep! Well, FMU has never been a place for show tunes qua show tunes.
	7:52pm Webhamster Henry: Opera is also underrepresented.
	7:52pm Webhamster Henry: Brel's trill is thrilling.
	7:55pm Webhamster Henry: Whoa the Brandy Seller's song from Happy End.
	🎭 7:56pm WR: LOL, the French singer had grabbed my ear so paused dinner prep to look. the LOL being that of course Jacques Brel is going to grab my attention.
	7:57pm Webhamster Henry: RIP Hal Willner
	7:58pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Lizzie: The Sound of Music is IMO by far the worst of the R&H "big five"
	🎭 7:59pm diciassette: re. French trill: Piaf's as well. I think it's coming off the back of the tongue (which is amazing to me)
	7:59pm Bronwyn Bishop: @diciassette: never heard of Starstruck, googled and looks amazing! must check it out!
	8:00pm Webhamster Henry: @dicassette yes - French has a uvular trill.
	🎭 8:00pm diciassette: You absolutely must. It is on Kanopy, if you have it, or can hijack someone's library card
	8:00pm Webhamster Henry: Nice mixing tonight Bronwyn!
	🎭 8:00pm WR: speaking of opera WHH, did not see you on rhe zoom for the Niblock and Soldier webcast on Wednesday. there were some glitches but i loved getting to ask Niblock a couple of questions.
	8:01pm Webhamster Henry: I was there, but didn't reconnect after the pretty long glitch after Niblock.
	8:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: Thanks!! It's really my mom still doing the mixing, I will pass it along :)
	8:02pm Webhamster Henry: Sometime: an all ballet number show.
	🎭 8:02pm WR: truly RIP Hal Wilner. I was getting used to him hosting / participating in nearly everything i was going to see and now no more...
	8:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: i've thought of doing that! also an all overtures one (im sure i would get booed off the radio if i tried to do one of all entr'actes)
	8:04pm Roberto: Irwin has played The Country's in the Very Best of Hands from Li'l Abner on many an occasion.
	8:04pm Webhamster Henry: Costume and scene change music.
	🎭 8:05pm diciassette: Irwin is one of the older souls on WFMU, I suspect
	🎭 8:05pm WR: the Sadie Hawkins Day Ballet from the movie was one of the earliest sexy exhibitions i saw as a young third grader. nowadays kids got twerking on utooob.
	8:06pm Roberto: Yeah, they don't come much older than Irwin.
	8:06pm Bronwyn Bishop: When I was in college Irwin and I used to correspond and he'd send me tracks to play on my college radio show- one of them was that one! And yes I did play it
	8:07pm Webhamster Henry: I just saw Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams on an old What's My Line archive. She mentioned being in the show. archive.org...
	8:15pm Roberto: Whoa, there was a Flowers for Algernon musical?
	8:17pm Webhamster Henry: @Roberto yeah what an uplifting, clap-yer-hands type concept for a musical.
	8:21pm Roberto: I'd say it's an, er, interesting subject choice for a musical.
	8:22pm Roberto: Is that Albert Hague of Fame fame?
	8:23pm Webhamster Henry: RIP James Lipton (I assume it's that James Lipton)
	8:25pm Bronwyn Bishop: Something More is not to be confused with Something There, the musical I am currently working on. My goal is to have Something There not flop quite as hard as its cousin
	8:27pm Bronwyn Bishop: acid jazz hands, where you can hear the coughs of the dead!
	8:27pm Roberto: I hope there's something there, Bronwyn.
	🎭 8:30pm WR: i know it was a so so audience recording but that overture seened embarrassing bad to me.
	8:32pm Roberto: i'm pretty sure my father and I had an encounter with Bob Merrill on the street in L.A. sometime in the '70s. Long strory.
	8:32pm Roberto: Now I remember. He was working on a musical version of The Graduate.
	🎭 8:34pm diciassette: ungh ❤️
	🎭 8:36pm diciassette: I did not know People was so great! I am a Barbra Streisand Album sort of feller
	🎭 8:37pm diciassette: Horizons are meant to be expanded, I suppose
	8:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: @roberto: i wish i could have met bob merrill! I've never met a single musical theatre composer (besides my own collaborators lol) but I did have an email conversation with Robert Lopez once
	8:40pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: It is that James Lipton, he also wrote another flop called Sherry!
	8:40pm Bronwyn Bishop: @WR: It says a lot when the overture is bad lol
	8:41pm Roberto: I also hung out with Sheldon Harnick at a party a few years ago. He was something like 94 at the time and still sharp as ever.
	🎭 8:43pm diciassette: Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign: panned by Robert Christgau. I think I've discovered a new heuristic!
	8:44pm Roberto: Well it's got something in common with Irwin then.
	🎭 8:45pm diciassette: Was Irwin ever panned by Robert Christgau? That would be amazing
	8:45pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Roberto: I saw Sheldon Harnick give a live show last March! He was great! I somehow forgot that within the past week I've interviewed two Broadway composers lol - Mark Hollmann (interview coming up next week!) and John Bucchino (interview coming up in March!)
	8:45pm Roberto: He was indeed.
	8:46pm Webhamster Henry: @BB yeah interview corner!
	8:47pm Roberto: Irwin actually included a snippet of Christgau's review on his playlists at one time.
	8:48pm Webhamster Henry: Still does: irwin.wfmu.org
	8:50pm Webhamster Henry: We've seen Les Demoiselle a zillion times.
	8:52pm Roberto: Ken and Andy had Christgau on 7SD maybe ten years ago. They brought up that review and he said something to the effect of, "Did I say that? That's awful!"
	8:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: I've never seen it but really need to check that out...along with the rest of the Demy films
	8:54pm Webhamster Henry: @BB Bring your hankies for Umbrellas.
	8:55pm Webhamster Henry: Donkey Skin has an excellent cake recipe scene with two Deneuves.
	🎭 8:55pm diciassette: ^ oh man, you definitely should. Also be prepared to marvel at Gene Kelly's French
	8:59pm Webhamster Henry: Jacques Perrin named his son Maxence after his own character!
	🎭 9:02pm diciassette: 3.bp.blogspot.com...
