Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from December 15, 2023 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).

Every year I loved to hear Darlene sing this song on David Letterman, which she belted out as if she were still 25. They always put on a real production, with falling snow at the end and the classic baritone sax solo.

I just read that the generals were furious when hearing about the informal Christmas truce and get-together during the first Christmas of the Great War and forbade any further fraternization or truces. Of course, said generals were sitting back in chalets drinking French wine, while the troops suffered from trench foot and intense psychological stress.

Thsnks for asking, I feel much better (I really had a very mild COVID, last Saturday I felt ill for a day, chills, scratchy throuat, sone congestion). I've been pretty OK since, but still in Isolation (better than the beginning; 5 days of complete isolation, then day 6 through 10 you can go out, but have to mask if there are people around). Sunday will be my last day, can't wait!
