WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from August 21, 2020

Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from August 21, 2020

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).

Listener comments!
	7:02pm Bronwyn Bishop: hello friends, not sure what this is all about but i hope you are enjoying these lovely south asian sounds as much as i am!
	🎭 7:06pm diciassette: hmmmmmmmm
	🎭 7:06pm diciassette: well hello!
	7:07pm sim: Brian Wilson, so full of surprises
	🎭 7:08pm diciassette: It's flying!
	7:09pm Bronwyn Bishop: now back to your regularly scheduled showtunes!
	🎭 7:09pm diciassette: God bless the Acid Jazz Hands and all who sail with her
	7:10pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Bronwyn and first nighters!
	7:10pm Bronwyn Bishop: everyone watch the howard ashman documentary on disney+, i implore you
	7:11pm Bronwyn Bishop: truly in the top 10 greatest and most fascinating people in all of humanity
	7:11pm Doug Schulkind: Sorry about that folks. Weird glitch with the stream. I gave it a swift kick.
	7:11pm Webhamster Henry: You could play those Bollywood shows you were playing this morning, Doug!
	7:11pm Bronwyn Bishop: no worries doug :)))
	7:20pm Doug Schulkind: Back in around 1996, WFMU had a benefit concert in the old Westbeth complex in lowerish Manhattan. We all got there early to set up and perform sound checks for a bunch of the bands. At one point, Paul Simon came down some stairs out of nowhere all fuming and bitching about the noise we were making. He was in an upper practice room working on rehearsals for The Capeman. I will never forget how incredibly assholish he was.
	7:27pm Webhamster Henry: I guess he's not a swag-for-lifer.
	7:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hahaha what a story!!! Yeah I've never heard anything good about either Simon or Garfunkel personality-wise which is a shame considering how beautiful their work together is (don't like their solo careers tho)
	7:34pm Webhamster Henry: Artie used to get arrested for pot in his car up here near Woodstock. It was a tradition!
	7:36pm Bronwyn Bishop: Now I want to have a Simon and/or Garfunkel sighting
	7:37pm Doug Schulkind: A friend once got picked up by Art while hitchhiking in Vermont!
	7:38pm Doug Schulkind: Art was driving some huge fancy car. I can't remember. A Rolls Royce or a Lincoln Continental or something. My friend reported (this was in the '70s) that Art seemed sad.
	7:40pm Bronwyn Bishop: I want to have a drive through Vermont in a Rolls Royce with a sad Art Garfunkel
	7:40pm Bronwyn Bishop: I did once sing backing vocals for Peter Yarrow
	7:45pm Webhamster Henry: ... Practically ALL Haiti knew Katie. -- Cole Porter, Yalie working blue
	🎭 7:49pm WR: Hi all, listening but still working.
	7:50pm Dean: I'm sure you're being way too polite, Doug, with the "ish" part. To my mind/ear/gut, Garfunkel is leaps and bounds the more musical of the two.
	7:51pm Bronwyn Bishop: hey WR!!
	7:51pm sim: Ah, to be in Luxembourg in May.
	7:53pm doctorjazz: Down for the Count!
	7:57pm Bronwyn Bishop: I used to be super fascinated by Luxembourg as a kid. It's a mini country
	7:57pm sim: Maybe a WFMU maven can answer this: Why was an Art Garfuncle song in the middle of the Watership Down movie?
	7:57pm Bronwyn Bishop: hey doctorjazz!!
	7:58pm sim: @Brownwyn. Did you draw a crayon map of Luxembourg?
	7:59pm sim: What's the flat of Luxembourg look like?
	7:59pm sim: *flag
	8:02pm Bronwyn Bishop: No but I did give a presentation in Luxembourg in 7th grade. Its flag looks like the French flag turned on its side- it's red on top, white in the middle, blue on the bottom
	🎭 8:08pm diciassette: That would make a great cake! Much easier than a French cake.
	8:10pm sim: Risë Stevens was a babe!
	8:12pm Webhamster Henry: Speaking of Guy Bolton, I'd like to suggest "BRING ON THE GIRLS!", the probably rather fictionalized auto bio of P.G. Wodehouse & Guy Bolton about their life in the theatre. It's reallllyy funnny! Limelight Press.
	8:14pm Bronwyn Bishop: sounds great :D
	8:14pm Webhamster Henry: Don't buy from Amazon, but here it is: www.amazon.com...
	8:15pm sim: All I know of PG Wodehouse is Wooster & Jeeves. is "Bring On..." available on Kindle?
	🎭 8:18pm diciassette: The Witch of Capri!
	🎭 8:20pm Listener Gregory: Minor correction: Wodehouse is pronounced "Woodhouse." Also, "Bring on The Girls" is indeed excellent, as are most Wodehouse books, IMHO.
	8:21pm Webhamster Henry: Many if not all the plays mentioned in the book are on Archive.org. archive.org...
	8:22pm Bronwyn Bishop: Thank you Gregory, I had never actually heard anyone say his name out loud before haha
	🎭 8:22pm Listener Gregory: I've been listening to the show for some weeks, but it is on when I'm making and eating dinner, so I haven't been commenting. So let me say while I'm here that this is a wonderful show, Bronwyn! You really do a fantastic job.
	🎭 8:23pm Listener Gregory: @Bronwyn, I mispronounced it for about 25 years, until "Bertie and Jeeves" made it onto PBS, and the announcer corrected me.
	8:24pm Bronwyn Bishop: Thank you for the kind words Gregory :D so glad you are enjoying the show!!
	8:31pm Webhamster Henry: This song (Let's Evolve) is fun!
	🎭 8:42pm diciassette: I'm not sure why Let's Evolve made me thing of Napoleon. Maybe it's in the same spirit?
	8:42pm Bronwyn Bishop: Let's Evolve is one of those lyrics I wish I'd written. They don't write em like that anymore
	8:44pm Webhamster Henry: I like how you're playing lots of early 20th Century stuff.
	🎭 8:45pm diciassette: "Napoleon's a pastry Bismarck is a herring Alexander's a crème de cacao mixed with rum Herbie Hoover is a vac-u-um"
	🎭 8:48pm Listener Gregory: This sounds like my first wife!
	8:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bronwyn, fun as usual!
	8:55pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: I realized everything I was playing was super old so I had to close it out with some wacky new stuff lol
	8:58pm Bronwyn Bishop: @diciassette: I love how that's one of two examples of vacuum being turned into vac-u-um for a rhyme in a showtune (Stephen Schwartz also did this for the Disney movie Enchanted)
	8:59pm Bronwyn Bishop: we are going into OT tonight thanks to the weirdness at the beginning
	9:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: @doctorjazz: thank YOU for listening!
	🎭 9:03pm Listener Gregory: Whoops! Abrupt ending! Excellent show, B.B.
	🎭 10:03pm WR: Archive listened, in part during dinner tonight so will probably listen again to get every delicious bit. Oopsy, the abrupt cut off. Would have loved hearing your back announcement for the last set.
	10:32am Marie: Fabio show. Your show, in general, is a real gem. Thanks, Bronwyn!

	🎭 10:03pm WR: Archive listened, in part during dinner tonight so will probably listen again to get every delicious bit. Oopsy, the abrupt cut off. Would have loved hearing your back announcement for the last set.
	10:32am Marie: Fabio show. Your show, in general, is a real gem. Thanks, Bronwyn!
