Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from March 1, 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).

OK, you have a point, but Pseu's theme is perhaps more of an "I Am" song.

OED offers no alternative to GEM-en-eye. But inasmuch as it was Latin, the last syllable would have been pronounced ee, and it's related to Jiminy.

I had a long term girlfriend who was a Gemini. Her name was June and she was born in June. I used to kid her, be glad you weren't born in November or February or some month like that.
