WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 19, 2021

Listener comments!
	🎭 7:00pm Listener Gregory: I'm here, but I have a request: Please play some music to wash dishes to.
	7:02pm Bronwyn Bishop: Quincy Jones is peering at you from that album cover like "Wash dishes to me Gregory"
	7:10pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Bronwyn and Theatre Goers!
	7:10pm Webhamster Henry: Someone on WFMU needs to do a big Quincy Jones tribute show - don't wait until he dies!
	7:18pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Henry!!
	🎭 7:20pm Listener Gregory: Your explanation of the Hi-Los was quite interesting. There are some standards that singers often do the verse of, like "Tea for Two" or "I've Got a Crush On You." I think the Gershwin verses are particularly popular.
	🎭 7:21pm WR: Henry, it appears you are correct, no birthday celebration or feature on Quincy Jones find I in the playlists. Hi Bronwyn. LG are those dishes all clean yet?
	🎭 7:21pm Listener Gregory: Dishwashing done. The music was fine until the accordion hit. I won't wash to accordion accompaniment. There are limits, people.
	7:23pm Bronwyn Bishop: cole porter CASUALLY throwing out "life was so grey, i wanted to END IT" wtf
	7:23pm Webhamster Henry: There's a good Hey There scene in Grace Of My Heart.
	7:24pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: I used to play the accordion when I was 13. I wasn't very good at it though
	7:25pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: I interviewed the director of that movie once! Still haven't seen it though
	🎭 7:26pm Listener Gregory: The accordion can be very good, but the smarmy Italian version is not my favorite. There are some wonderful contemporary accordionists.
	7:26pm Webhamster Henry: I used to have that Best Of Barry Manilow 2 record set for dishwashing purposes.
	7:27pm Webhamster Henry: @BB It's so much fun! Pastichey music by authentic composers, thinly disguised music personalities!
	7:28pm Webhamster Henry: Ah time for the weekly Harold Rome!
	7:29pm Webhamster Henry: Pins & Needles was a huge unexpected hit - I wonder how the actual arrangements sounded.
	7:29pm Gerry from Miami: First timer here, Bronwyn. Hearing this Rosemary Clooney classic takes me back to my youth. This is part of my "mom's music." She would go about her daily household chores singing along with these evergreens on the radio. I actually enjoy this era of American pop. But in my teen years, along came Elvis, Buddy Holly, the Beatles, the Sfones, Bob Dylan etc. Still like hearing the old tunes. Good music is timeless.
	7:30pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: Do I really play Harold Rome weekly? He didn't place very highly when I tallied up everyone I'd played lol
	7:31pm Webhamster Henry: Wishful thinking. Really, he has excellent lyrics and music.
	🎭 7:35pm WR: welcome Gerry.
	🎭 7:35pm Listener Gregory: Tony Bennett does a very nice version of "I Got Lost in (Your?) Arms" in one of his 90s albums, I think.
	7:35pm Gerry from Miami: Never was a huge fan of Ms. Quatro. But you gotta give it to her---she sure had versatility!
	🎭 7:36pm WR: in my opinion the show is more torchy than trashy.
	7:37pm Bronwyn Bishop: Welcome Gerry!! Glad you're enjoying the show :D
	7:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: true, he's great, I should play him more often lol
	🎭 7:38pm Listener Gregory: Bennett update: The Art of Excellence, 1986. Cover shows him framed by the World Trade towers. Sad to see now.
	7:39pm Bronwyn Bishop: @WR: I just called it "Really Great Trash" because I was reading Sondheim's book of lyrics and saw that phrase in a song from Merrily We Roll Along and it spoke to me lol
	7:39pm Gerry from Miami: Dr. Frank N. Furter goes legit! Rocky Horror, this is not! And you can't detect a trace of his British accent in this song.
	🎭 7:39pm WR: did not know that Suzi Quatro did anything like show tunes much less being in a show. love Tim Curry, but curious to hear him play it a less campy.
	🎭 7:40pm Listener Gregory: Speaking of accents, Cumming's Scottish-German one is very special.
	7:42pm doctorjazz: Hello, Bronwyn and Jazzers!
	7:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: @WR: I played his version of "Anyone Who Had a Heart" on my former WFMU show once. He does "Anyone Who Had a Heart" like it's "Losing My Mind" and "Losing My Mind" like it's "Anyone Who Had a Heart"
	7:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: hey doctorjazz :D
	🎭 7:44pm WR: that i cannot go to a bar does not preclude me from dining like i am in one: cornichons, cheddar, saltines and ale. and no dishes. maybe i am trashy.
	🎭 7:44pm Listener Gregory: Is the playlist right?? This lovely piano is "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught"?
	🎭 7:44pm Listener Gregory: BB, do you know who the pianist is?
	7:45pm Bronwyn Bishop: @WR: I had to google cornichons. They look great, I <3 pickles
	7:46pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: Christian Jacob
	🎭 7:46pm Listener Gregory: Thx. He is very good, apparently.
	🎭 7:46pm diciassette: Yay Betty Buckley! (Mrs. Bradford). Hello Bronwyn e tutti. Thanks for the '62 Streisand!
	🎭 7:47pm WR: baby sour gherkins, with pearl onions, if only i had sausage or prosciutto to go with.
	7:51pm Doug Schulkind: Everybody who’s anybody is neck-deep in the AJH wading pool!
	🎭 7:51pm Listener Gregory: Hmmm, recorded next to the AC unit...
	🎭 7:51pm WR: or better, some beef tongue. it has been ages since I've been to a good deli. I've been thinking about going in search of good take out in Queens.
	7:54pm Webhamster Henry: You'd think Björn could afford a 4-track.
	7:56pm Gerry from Miami: It says "demo" on that song from "Chess." Sounds more like "bootleg." Bad pressing?
	🎭 7:57pm WR: sounded like cheap cassette recorder demo.
	7:58pm Bronwyn Bishop: See, I told you guys every musical in 1979 got a disco cover
	8:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Doug: Hi!! Thanks for listening :D
	8:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: and hi diciassette!!
	8:02pm Bronwyn Bishop: The Chess demo is definitely a demo, it's an early version of a different song from the show
	🎭 8:02pm Listener Gregory: This is not the worst disco cover by any means, though I've never heard the original, which probably helps.
	8:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: The original was performed by Madeline Kahn in On the Twentieth Century. Kristin Chenoweth also does a great version in the revival
	8:04pm doctorjazz: Not a bi big tongue fan, give me hot pastrami any time (have some in Joisey, not down the block, but not too bad a drive).
	🎭 8:07pm diciassette: I crave banh miiiiiiiiiiii
	🎭 8:07pm diciassette: (all this sandwich talk!)
	🎭 8:07pm Listener Gregory: 1776 again!
	8:10pm Roberto: I didn't know Cher sang this. Let's just say I have a deep personal connection to the original production :P
	8:11pm Bronwyn Bishop: what is your deep personal connection?? are you sherman edwards?
	8:12pm Webhamster Henry: An Yma flavored Magic Flute would have been fun!
	8:12pm Roberto: Lol no
	🎭 8:13pm Listener Gregory: The Magic Flute is definitely musical theater.
	8:14pm Webhamster Henry: There ya go with the Na Szkle Malowanie
	8:15pm Webhamster Henry: This time in the original Polish instead of the Croatian one you played a few months ago.
	8:15pm Roberto: Tricky Dick's staff attempted to censor that particular song from the White House production in 1970.
	8:21pm Webhamster Henry: It's the Hunchback or Cyrano of the week.
	8:22pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Roberto: Yes they did, and they successfully censored Cool Considerate Men from the movie (but luckily it's in the director's cut)
	8:23pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: I have determined after a year of this program that the five most musicalized stories of all time are Hunchback, Cyrano, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and Twelfth Night (a motley crew)
	8:24pm Roberto: I believe the White House attempted to censor that one too.
	🎭 8:25pm Listener Gregory: BB, maybe Les Mis too? Certainly there have been a lot of theatrical versions of it.
	8:27pm Bronwyn Bishop: i love that in german it goes from "bells bells bells bells" to "KLANG KLANG KLANG KLANG"
	🎭 8:30pm Listener Gregory: I have actually seen very few musicals in person, I realize, but that Dave Clark one would definitely get me off my couch.
	8:32pm Bronwyn Bishop: It needs a revival in 2022. Because time waits for nobody
	8:37pm Webhamster Henry: You played a lotta gender swapped tunes tonight!
	🎭 8:39pm Listener Gregory: The musical Time ran for two years on the West End, and the star rock musician was played by Cliff Richard and then David Cassidy! Can't believe I missed that.
	8:42pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: I looooove when people do gender swapped songs
	8:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: i figured you should all know this exists so you can share in my pain
	🎭 8:44pm Listener Gregory: I will step on a pop-top in sympathy, Bronwyn.
	8:45pm Bronwyn Bishop: my new hobby is looking at old newspapers online. i just saw a great nytimes headline from 1912: ANGRY HOUSEWIVES INVADE MEAT SHOPS
	8:48pm Bronwyn Bishop: fun fact: one of this song's writers is the son of THE GREAT CREATORE! that robert preston shouts about in the music man
	🎭 8:49pm Listener Gregory: I saw a lot of ads for that Margaritaville musical, so I'm surprised to learn it wasn't successful. It seemed to reach the lowest common denominator that jukebox musicals shoot for.
	8:55pm Gerry from Miami: Great program, Bronwyn! A super evening of show tunes and assorted miscellanea. I'll be back here again! LATER!
	🎭 8:56pm Listener Gregory: What would Kurt Weill have thought if he could have seen what happened to his song? Someone here must know.
	🎭 8:57pm WR: looking back, you already played Streisand, wondering if ony one you've not fit in.
	🎭 8:59pm Listener Gregory: Very fun show, Bronwyn! Take another curtain call.
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: I bet Weill would have liked that arrangement, he wrote plenty of brassy Broadway hits. Brecht on the other hand would have been all "was the fuck ist das"
	9:00pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Bronwyn those old newspapers sound fantastic! Any site you recommend?
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gerry: Aww thanks :D
	9:01pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bronwyn!
	9:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Lizzie: I've really mostly been looking at the New York times- lots of good stuff like old reviews of 1920s musicals where they mostly talk about all the fancy socialites in attendance
	9:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank YOU doctorjazz!
	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Bronwyn, lots of fun stuff tonight!
	🎭 9:02pm WR: thank you Bronwyn!

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).

	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gerry: Aww thanks :D

	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Bronwyn, lots of fun stuff tonight!
