Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from March 14, 2025 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).

If you pledge now, the odds of winning that "Carrie the musical" book are MUCH, MUCH better than winning a Mega-millions Lottery. I can't say it's a sure thing, but the odds are very in your favor. So pledge, people!

I saw a film documentary recently called "Zappa," about Frank Z. It was pretty good, but for some reason they didn't include any of his actual testimony before a Senate committee, which I thought was a missed opportunity. I remember way back hearing some of Frank's testimony on another station (WBAI, probably), and it was brilliant!

& even his mushy performances in “Starting Over” 1979 w/jill clayberg, Candice Bergen. & “Best Friends” 1982 w/Goldie Hawn.😊
