WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from September 20, 2024

Listener comments!
	6:59pm WR: Verse and Scripture?
	7:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: not quite lol
	7:04pm doctorjazz: Hello BB, Acidophyles!
	7:06pm still b/p: You played it so your audience would get all "Goulet gous coucher avec moi."
	7:08pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Bronwyn! I like the verse! I have lots of them in my good ol' Rogers & Hart songbook. And for our wedding, we used Tiptoe Through the Tulips including the verse so the audience would get a surprise!
	7:08pm Listener Gregory: Good evening, Ms B and acid heads. Tea For Two has a great verse that I believe Thelonious Monk used to play. The verse of Someone to Watch Over Me is often sung, no?
	7:08pm TonyR: Yeah! F*ck choruses.
	7:08pm Webhamster Henry: There's an intro verse that was added to Somewhere Over The Rainbow
	7:10pm TonyR: Gershwin After Dark.
	7:10pm Webhamster Henry: 'S Gershwin!
	7:11pm TonyR: Never would have called the 1st Gershwin.
	7:12pm TonyR: "I Caaaan't stand 'im" "Round vowels, Miss Lamont."
	7:12pm still b/p: I remember a couple of radio hosts going bananas when they asked if anyone in the listening audience knew the intro verse for "Tangerine," and EVERY responder would call up and sing the familiar, "Tangerine, she is all they claim." "No, NO," they'd say, "BEFORE those words, there are OTHER words you usually don't get to hear." And someone else would call and....same thing.
	7:12pm Listener Gregory: Pro tip: If your prospective love says “potahto,” get the hell out of there!
	7:13pm TonyR: I'm 61, still can't bring myself to say "ahnt" in referring to my grandparents' other children.
	7:14pm TonyR: I'm doomed like Eliza.
	7:14pm Listener Gregory: Music historians out there: Is the verse a leftover of the recitative before an aria in opera?
	7:16pm Dan S: Hi Bronwyn and fellow AJH listeners. I'm coming in a bit late again due to subway delays getting home. What else is new.
	7:16pm TonyR: Liza on the Actors' Studio is a must-see. She wasn't a punchline. She was doling out solid advice to showbiz hopefuls.
	7:17pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Someone to Watch Over Me" by "Kelli O'Hara" My first correct call of the show.
	7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Someone to Watch Over Me" by "Kelli O'Hara" I hear this one often.
	7:19pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Someone to Watch Over Me" by "Kelli O'Hara" I could use someone to watch over me. Any volunteers? :-)
	7:19pm TonyR: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:18 Oh, sure. Crap all over my first point.
	7:20pm TonyR: I only know open of "Foggy Day" because Bowie covered it.
	7:21pm doctorjazz: Ella (on her albums, and the sublime Ella and Louis albums) usually songs the verses.
	7:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ TonyR @7:19 I have confidence that you will get most of them!
	7:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:21 *sings the verses...
	7:26pm TonyR: If BB digs into the "Dumbo" soundtrack, I'm in like Flynn.
	7:27pm TonyR: Like normal AJH, but with cutthroat competitiom. Interesting.
	7:27pm TonyR: I'm sitting out the Bollywood round.
	7:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:21 funny that you should say that because I Have Confidence from the Sound of Music (which I played last week) has a verse which was parodied in hilarious fashion in the Book of Mormon of all things (the show, not the religious text)
	7:29pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ TonyR @7:27 I would have a hard time determining whether Bollywood songs have verses lol
	7:31pm Webhamster Henry: insert Stan Freberg "Tap Dance on the Radio" joke...
	7:33pm Listener Gregory: The London fog was related to everyone burning coal, which is now illegal.
	7:33pm Webhamster Henry: Jukebox musicals, just older jukeboxes.
	7:35pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, on one of her live records, Ella complains that no one sings the verse of some song, which she thinks is beautiful. That was my introduction to this term.
	7:35pm TonyR: I worked in a restaurant in the mid-80s and came to despise Feinstein and (sorry!) Blossom Dearie.
	7:38pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Stardust" by "Nat King Cole" A lovely version of a beautiful song. Anyone who would record this song without the intro part is doing it a grave disservice.
	7:38pm TonyR: "Come what May" places.
	7:39pm Listener Gregory: I would say Lush Life is sung ONLY with the verse. @doctorj, do you concur? Also, let's give credit to McCoy Tyner's piano accompaniment here.
	7:46pm diciassette: ↳ TonyR @7:35 You could possible get sick of tiramisu, if you've had enough of it..
	7:47pm diciassette: ↳ diciassette @7:46 †possibly
	7:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Georgia on My Mind" by "Mildred Bailey With The D... Don't know this verse...
	7:49pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Georgia on My Mind" by "Mildred Bailey With The D... A topical song for the 2024 election? Just kidding.
	7:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "After You've Gone" by "bessie smith" Can you imagine Bessie Smith appearing on Broadway? She would have brought the house down every night. It's a shame that it never happened (shame in both senses).
	7:59pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "I Can't Get Started" by "frank sinatra" If y'all will forgive a stupid question: Does "the verse" refer only to the intro part of a song? At least here? I'd have thought that "verse" refers to all the lyrics of a song EXCEPT the repeated "chorus." But what do I know?
	8:04pm Dan S: ↳ Dan S @7:59 In any case, I'm enjoying tonight's selection of tunes, as usual.
	8:10pm doctorjazz: Sassy! (Not up on the playlist yet, bit couldn'tbe Anyone else)
	8:11pm doctorjazz: (Got to see Sarah Vaughan once)
	8:11pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:14 I wish someone had answered. I've got serious studying to do.
	8:13pm Listener Gregory: @WR, the truly deep questions are never answered.
	8:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Shine on Harvest Moon" by "Leon Redbone" Have this album (saw him once too)
	8:18pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Dan S @7:59 yes, in a musical theater/great American songbook context "verse" refers to the intro
	8:21pm Dan S: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:18 Thanks for that info, Bronwyn.
	8:23pm WR: The Hour of Crap is on the Sheena Stream right now. 6PM ET to 9PM ET on Fridays.
	8:24pm Bronwyn Bishop: amazing! waves at the hour of crap
	8:24pm Dan S: "The Hour of Crap," LOL. It's sometimes hard to tell what WFMU program titles are meant ironically and which are just truth in advertising.
	8:24pm northguineahills: happy hellozing bronwyn!
	8:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dan S @8:24 It's a bit of both (lots of crap)
	8:28pm Dan S: ↳ doctorjazz @8:25 I just looked up that program title. Amusingly enough, it's on right now, on a different alternate stream. I'm sticking with AJH!
	8:29pm diciassette: If we want crap we'll listen to Spotify!
	8:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Guys And Dolls" by "Stubby Kaye & Johnny Silver" i remember when my friends did a production of guys and dolls in hs. top notch, it t'was!
	8:31pm Dan S: ↳ WR @8:23 Sorry, I didn't notice this earlier comment until AFTER I posted something similar. My bad. You could even say my crap, LOL.
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @8:25 @doctrj, did you see my question about Lush Life? That the verse is almost always performed ("I used to visit all those gay places...")? The world is waiting for your input!
	8:41pm Dan S: BTW, I noticed that my supporter icons have disappeared from my posts. I presume that's WFMU's subtle way of telling me it's time to pledge again. I was planning to do so during the October Hellraiser but, hell, it's not even October yet! Maybe next time I'll up my pledge to the Swag For Life level. If I can swing it.
	8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:32 I missed the question (was listening, but picking up my grandma pizza dinner, yum)great album, the Hartman/Coltrane! And I've also always heard the tune with the "verse". (The verse, unusually, it's more interesting than the lovely chorus on it).
	8:46pm diciassette: I'm skipping out the door with AJH. Thanks Brownyn! (while I still have all my fingers)
	8:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:45 And tells most of the story of the tune
	8:49pm northguineahills: i need to put stuff down my pie-hole (unfortunately, not pie). not sure what to call it, tex-mex-hidalgense frijoles?
	8:49pm northguineahills: oh, so, thanks bronwyn, /always forgets....
	8:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @8:47 Exactly. I knew you would not leave us in the lurch.
	8:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:47 And I haven't timed it, but I think the verse Is longer than the chorus (And this answer was longer than anyone could possibly have wanted...)
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Night and Day" by "Fred Astaire" Interesting. I have a collection of early Astaire which contains this song, but it a much simpler and less jazzy arrangement. I like this! Note how the verse comes back at the end here.
	8:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @8:50 I think they're about equal, if you do each one straight, no solos, etc.
	8:53pm finger of diciassette: !!!
	8:53pm ironybread: Noel! Oh, you. ;)
	8:54pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Let's Do It (Let's fall in love)" by "Noel Coward" Noel and his alternate lyrics...
	8:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, BB, fun AND interesting show!
	8:56pm Dan S: Thanks for another very fine show, Bronwyn. Also, thanks for being so well-versed in musical theater and the Great American Songbook!
	8:57pm finger of diciassette: Noel busts up Vegas!
	8:58pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Let's Do It (Let's fall in love)" by "Noel Coward" Yes, Bronwyn, you should write some WFMU-related lyrics for this song! I know you can write song lyrics, quite well. Do it!
	9:00pm still b/p: ↳ finger of diciassette @8:57 You-know-who and you-know-which go Out in the Vegas Out in the Vegas Out in the Vegas sun.
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Let's Do It (Let's fall in love)" by "Noel Coward" Given all the different versions of Let's Do It, it seems that Porter and his estate were not too fussy about differing versions. Pianist George Shearing did a very funny version called You're the Pits, taking the opposite perspective. (I heard that live; not sure if it's recorded... the Porter estate might have found it a step too far.)
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Truly excellent show, Ms. Bishop! Thanks a million.
	9:01pm WR: Thank you! Bronwyn! An epic episode. Will be listening to it many times over.
	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thati was fun! I like a thematic show! I guess the most recent versed tune was from Follies!

	8:56pm Dan S: Thanks for another very fine show, Bronwyn. Also, thanks for being so well-versed in musical theater and the Great American Songbook!
	8:57pm finger of diciassette: Noel busts up Vegas!
	8:58pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Let's Do It (Let's fall in love)" by "Noel Coward" Yes, Bronwyn, you should write some WFMU-related lyrics for this song! I know you can write song lyrics, quite well. Do it!
	9:00pm still b/p: ↳ finger of diciassette @8:57 You-know-who and you-know-which go Out in the Vegas Out in the Vegas Out in the Vegas sun.
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Let's Do It (Let's fall in love)" by "Noel Coward" Given all the different versions of Let's Do It, it seems that Porter and his estate were not too fussy about differing versions. Pianist George Shearing did a very funny version called You're the Pits, taking the opposite perspective. (I heard that live; not sure if it's recorded... the Porter estate might have found it a step too far.)
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Truly excellent show, Ms. Bishop! Thanks a million.
	9:01pm WR: Thank you! Bronwyn! An epic episode. Will be listening to it many times over.
	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thati was fun! I like a thematic show! I guess the most recent versed tune was from Follies!
