Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from June 27, 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).

The playlist gives the recording date of Hard Time Killing Floor as 1931 (+ the record photo), but was the performance from later, in his revival years? My Rewind button is not working.

One of my favorite songs of all time. I haven't heard it on the radio in decades. Back in the 1970s, there was a guy who did a talk show on WBAI who used this song as either his intro or his outro (I can't remember which). Thanks for playing this, Bronwyn!
