WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 9, 2024

Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 9, 2024

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).

Listener comments!
	🎭 7:01pm TonyR: Ooh! A bonus three-hour tour of AJH for Valentine's eve (and my new cpap fitting!).
	🎭 7:02pm Listener Gregory: Corliss Lamont! A great face for radio. Hello, everyone.
	7:02pm Webhamster Henry: hi BB! ah better volume now!
	🎭 7:02pm TonyR: Corliss got gain. Whew.
	🎭 7:02pm diciassette: Nice gain bump! Nice tune!
	7:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hello Tony, Gregory, Henry and diciassette!!!
	🎭 7:03pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:02 "A great face for radio." People say that to me too!
	🎭 7:05pm Dan S: Proving Marxists may not be great musicians.
	🎭 7:06pm Dan S: Their loss, Bronwyn!
	7:07pm Webhamster Henry: Folkways put out albums by Eric Bentley of Brecht shows: folkways.si.edu...
	🎭 7:12pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dan S @7:05 My question is why he (or someone) recorded these private performances in the first place.
	🎭 7:14pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Rubaru" by "Kamal Khan" Everybody sing along!
	🎭 7:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ TonyR @7:14 Waiting for the playlist to be updated so I know what I'm singing.
	🎭 7:16pm TonyR: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:14 Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song.
	🎭 7:17pm Listener Gregory: ↳ TonyR @7:16 If I can do it with the same expression as Corliss, I will sing it out.
	🎭 7:17pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Yeh Matwala Gaadiwala" by "Asha Bhosle" I presume the credited lyrics come in at SOME point.
	7:19pm Webhamster Henry: Autoharp alert!!! Actually sounds more like a strummed piano...
	🎭 7:20pm Listener Gregory: Whatever this song is, someone locally put it on her answering machine. Strangers like me were hearing her sing about the lovelight in my eyes. That's none of her damn business!
	7:21pm Rich in Washington: Early Ferrante & Teicher is dreamy.
	🎭 7:22pm TonyR: Ferrante and Teicher ARE Devo!
	7:22pm Rich in Washington: They did some wonderfully peculiar treated piano stuff that's rather startling in contrast to the stuff they did much later.
	🎭 7:26pm Listener Gregory: The eligibility rules for Oscar music awards have kept many of the best soundtracks from being nominated, even though the large majority of music was composed for the film.
	🎭 7:27pm TonyR: Someone cast Lainie K. as Eliza D.???
	🎭 7:28pm TonyR: ↳ TonyR @7:27 Was Ethel Merman busy?
	🎭 7:29pm Listener Gregory: Detecting Gerry Mulligan?
	🎭 7:33pm diciassette: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:29 Nice detector! My Chet Baker detector was going off, but I had no idea if it know what it was doing. Turns out he's on this album, but it doesn't look like he's on that track.
	🎭 7:33pm diciassette: ↳ diciassette @7:33 † knew
	🎭 7:36pm TonyR: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:29 They don't call him the "Listener" for nuthin'.
	🎭 7:37pm diciassette: ↳ diciassette @7:33 Actually, based on the personnel list, if it had a trumpet it was Chet. I pat my Chet Baker detector on the head.
	🎭 7:39pm TonyR: "kick"
	🎭 7:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ diciassette @7:37 I don't have a Chet Baker detector. I think I could recognize his voice.
	🎭 7:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love" by "Yip Harburg" These lyrics are awfully witty, IMHO.
	🎭 7:43pm WR: Hello Bronwyn and folks. Have been listening while chopping vegetables. Have been enjoying but controlled my enthusiasm so no blood shed.
	🎭 7:44pm WR: ↳ Song: "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" by "Corliss Lamont" new to me recording and fun fun fun.
	🎭 7:45pm WR: ↳ Song: "Merry Widow Waltz" by "Ferrante & Teicher" 50s Ferrante & Teicher as genius.
	🎭 7:48pm TonyR: Shorter Queen: "Absolutely no synthesizers!"
	🎭 7:50pm WR: The story about oscar rules being changed so only songs written explicitly for movies to be qualified for awards. I recall there being some discussion regarding Ryuichi Sakamoto's soundtrack contributions for Revenant.
	🎭 7:50pm diciassette: He just wants a calculator But he's got an oscillator He doesn't want to play no tune Just 'cause it's 1982 Just 'cause it's 1982 Big Daddy got a Casio VL-Tone
	🎭 7:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @7:43 Bronwyn, maybe hold off on that Sweeney Todd set until WR is done.
	8:14pm Robm: wow never expected to hear a johhny cash song
	🎭 8:14pm WR: ↳ Song: "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes" by "Johnny Cash" Ben Jonson is well known for plays but didn't know he was a lyricist as well.
	🎭 8:15pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @8:14 It was probably a poem first.
	🎭 8:16pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes" by "Johnny Cash" Johnny Cash is well off the beaten path for musical theater, and a pleasant surprise.
	8:17pm Robm: ↳ Dan S @8:16 yes he was, one of the many reasons why i love the magic factory
	🎭 8:18pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:54 ok, have moved to the eating stage, so just need to avoid choking.
	🎭 8:22pm Dan S: I liked this whole set, though I was wondering about some of these song choices.
	🎭 8:28pm Listener Gregory: Treemonisha is a really interesting work. It has a female hero(ine), and the men decide to defer to her, because she is educated. It also takes place within a wholly African-American community. Joplin essentially went broke trying to get it put on in a real production, which never happened. 80 years later, the world said, "Oops!"
	🎭 8:38pm WR: ↳ Song: "t Might As Well Be Spring/My Romance/Isn’t It Rom... Very much enjoying the piano bravura by totally new to me Milton Rettenberg.
	🎭 8:40pm WR: ↳ Song: "t Might As Well Be Spring/My Romance/Isn’t It Rom... folkways.si.edu...
	8:48pm Rich in Washington: I love this track so much!
	🎭 8:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Happy Talk" by "Captain Sensible" An early entry in your synthesizer show?
	8:54pm Bronwyn Bishop: Haha I would but Tuesday's show will be 100% show tune free
	8:55pm Rich in Washington: Wonderful show tonight, Bronwyn!
	8:56pm Rich in Washington: Hey Folks, I'll be spinning tunes and breaking radios right after this show: wfmu.org...
	🎭 8:58pm WR: Truly wonderful episode Bronwyn!!!!
	🎭 8:59pm Listener Gregory: Funeral songs are always in season. Thanks a lot, Ms. B. I had a lot of fun... maybe too much fun?
	8:59pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank YOU darlings!!!!
	🎭 9:02pm WR: ↳ Song: "Funeral Tango" by "Scott Walker" Don't remember ever seeing that UK Scott 3 cover before. The US release cover is so bleh in comparison. Again, many many thank yous!
