Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from October 11, 2024 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

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).

In a related vein, since I had covid-19 the second time, which was just sorta a bad cold with a fever for me, hops tastes very acrid to me. Totally has ended my try every IPA quest. Also helps me understand and accept that some people I know don't like the taste of cilantro.
