WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 24, 2023

Listener comments!
	7:01pm Chittering Squirrel: SHOWTIME LET'S GO!!!!
	🎭 7:01pm Listener Gregory: Since we've interrupted Don Cherry, may I suggest that a Don Cherry musical bio would be a fantastic idea?
	7:02pm Webhamster Henry: Hooked on Acid Jazz Hands
	🎭 7:04pm Listener Gregory: That's EnterJazz Hands!
	7:04pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hello darlings!!!!
	7:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: Are we considering a bio-musical about Don Cherry the trumpeter or the hockey player? Or perhaps both simultaneously?
	7:07pm Webhamster Henry: When Got Tu Go Disco came out, disco was already dead.
	7:09pm Bronwyn Bishop: Broadway showing its usual flair for timing
	7:10pm Listener Gregory: I was thinking the trumpet player, cuz he is the only one to appear on the GTD stream. A disco bio musical of him would be amazing! I’m sure @doctorj will back me up on this.
	7:16pm Bronwyn Bishop: I will look into this after my musicals about Ashman & Menken, Bernie the killer undertaker and Michael Cimino
	7:19pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 Clearly, this is the take on the material Steven Spielberg should have used.
	7:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: WSS 2021 would have been way less redundant if it had been a disco version
	7:27pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @7:20 My only Disco record is the 12" single of I Love New York.
	7:38pm Listener Gregory: My only disco record is… the one I won from Bronwyn in last year’s pledge drive!!!
	7:39pm Listener Gregory: Given the theme of the show, I have decided to drink fake beer.
	7:42pm Webhamster Henry: You're gonna work in deep cuts from the Ethel Merman disco record, right?
	7:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:39 I tried to drink a real beer here at the station earlier and the foam spilled all over the t-shirt folding table
	7:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Webhamster Henry @7:42 OF COURSE
	🎭 7:47pm WR: quick hello, busy with work tonight but have drummer stream playing in background. TIA.
	7:48pm Bronwyn Bishop: Have a work dance party!!!
	7:50pm doctorjazz: Hello Dahlings! Disco Show!
	7:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 Just arrived, but a Don Cherry musical would be great (and if he played hockey with his trumpet, even better!)
	7:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: the doctor is in!!!
	🎭 7:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:52 Here's the current plan: I'll work out a story, Bronwyn will write the lyrics and most of the book, Webhamster Henry will direct, and your daughter will be a featured performer. Are you in?
	🎭 7:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Losing My Mind" by "Liza Minnelli" I have to say that I don't find this an improvement on the versions I know.
	7:54pm doctorjazz: RebeccaJazz informs me there's an Ethel Merman Disco Album out there...
	7:54pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:53 Neneh Cherry stars.
	7:55pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ doctorjazz @7:54 which we will definitely be hearing from ;)
	7:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:54 And here it is (for any who NEED to have an Ethel Merman Disco album...) www.discogs.com...
	7:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:53 I'm in! 9have to consult RebeccaJazz, of course...)
	🎭 7:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Webhamster Henry @7:54 If we can get her! Ambrose Akinmusire will play the trumpet parts. Or else Chris Botti.
	8:10pm Bronwyn Bishop: This will surely unseat the Lion King as Broadway's biggest hit
	8:24pm doctorjazz: Short stay, gotta run, will be going this archive. Great weekend all!
	8:25pm Listener Gregory: Start thinking of words that rhyme with “harmelodic.”
	8:27pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ doctorjazz @8:24 byeeeee!!!!!!!
	8:27pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:25 sondheim could have rhymed it
	8:28pm Webhamster Henry: Good research coming up with disco Sondheims that was not on the Losing My Mind record.
	8:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: I feel like this is the most infamous sondheim disco moment lol
	🎭 8:29pm diciassette: Oh gosh, I've missed some things!
	8:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: hey diciassette!!!
	8:42pm Bronwyn Bishop: this is a funny example of a show that got a billion late 60s pop/rock covers when it was on broadway and then got discofied 10 years later when it became a film...
	8:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: im sad that there were no trap covers of west side story when the new movie came out 2 years ago
	🎭 8:44pm Listener Gregory: I had never seen the cover of the Ethel Mermen disco album. That is something special.
	🎭 8:46pm diciassette: I wonder what they forgot to discofy by 1979? Was there anything?
	8:49pm Chittering Squirrel: ↳ diciassette @8:46 Sweet Jane?
	8:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:44 I love the random dude offering her his hat
	8:51pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ diciassette @8:46 Annie
	8:51pm northguineahills: now, that i'm comfortably late, hello, Bronwyn!
	8:51pm Bronwyn Bishop: And Ain't Misbehavin'
	8:51pm Bronwyn Bishop: They DID discofy On the Twentieth Century though
	8:52pm Bronwyn Bishop: And They're Playing Our Song had disco written into it (by Marvin Hamlisch!)
	8:52pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ northguineahills @8:51 helloooo ngh!!!
	8:53pm Chittering Squirrel: Oh musicals not discofied. What about State Fair? Did they get that one? (Yeah I know it was a movie first)
	8:55pm Bronwyn Bishop: I'm as restless as a disco in a windstorm
	8:57pm northguineahills: ↳ diciassette @8:46 discofy it by 40%, rastafy it by 25%... (pretty soon we'll be in poochie territory....) thanks, Bronwyn!
	8:57pm Listener Gregory: I’m as jumpy as a mirror ball on a string!
	🎭 8:57pm WR: OK, customer call ended, volume up, my partner looking quizzically at me, "I thought you say you don't like mainstream pop music?" I ask you all, is this mainstream?
	8:58pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ northguineahills @8:57 thank YOU NGH
	8:58pm Chittering Squirrel: Our dance floor is a great dance floor

	9:00pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @8:59 good idea!
	9:00pm Chittering Squirrel: You have to wash the men out of your hair if you've been outside during a severe manstorm without an umbrella
