Listener comments!
	🎭 7:01pm Listener Gregory: God help us.
	🎭 7:01pm WR: Fidler on the Roof is following me...
	7:02pm Roberto: My boi Shel!
	7:03pm Roberto: The audience is plotzing!
	🎭 7:04pm Listener Gregory: This kind of medley seems designed to appeal to a certain kind of audience, which is not the audience of tweens shrieking in the background.
	7:05pm Andrew Hollywood: I hope everyone is hip to the Dance With Me Stanley - Acid Jazz Hands back-to-back slammer. Friday nights are good for music :)
	🎭 7:09pm Listener Gregory: Suffering from PLS (Playlist Lag Syndrome)!
	7:10pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	🎭 7:13pm WR: yes, LG, perhaps the meddly by the Osmond Bros was to benignly beguile the chaperoning parents as the teen females lost their shit.
	🎭 7:14pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, we need medical attention after the Osmond Brothers knockout performance. @WR, good point. Parents!
	7:15pm doctorjazz: LG, I tuned in a bit late and missed it, but it sounds serious indeed...
	7:18pm Bronwyn Bishop: hi everyone :D
	🎭 7:19pm Listener Gregory: @BB, Hi!!
	7:19pm Bronwyn Bishop: i'm glad the osmond boys went for it, you know? its good to try new things
	🎭 7:20pm Listener Gregory: You can't deny their enthusiasm.
	7:22pm Bronwyn Bishop: we def give out A's for effort here on acid jazz hands
	7:24pm Bronwyn Bishop: guess what guys??? I'm writing a musical about the making of the infamous flop movie Heaven's Gate! I had to get that off my chest
	🎭 7:24pm Listener Gregory: Wow! That's awesome.
	🎭 7:31pm Listener Gregory: One piece of advice: Don't make the first version of the musical 325 minutes long.
	7:35pm Bronwyn Bishop: I'll try not to. I'll also try to avoid bankrupting a studio, blowing up a horse live on camera and doing 100+ takes of Christopher Walken taking off a hat
	🎭 7:42pm WR: Ah, Bronwyn, careful to not cut out all the poetry. I was seriously moved by that movie when I saw it on VHS in the mid 80s. And this David Ackles record was a favorite of mine too. Never got it on CD or digital, haven't heard it since way back when.
	7:44pm Webhamster Henry: H folks - distracted with taxes - HOW NOW DOW JONES?
	7:44pm Webhamster Henry: I have this version of Lady in the Dark with Adolph Green doing the Danny Kaye part.
	7:45pm Bronwyn Bishop: @WR: I'm glad you are a fellow Heaven's Gate fan!!! I also think it is beautiful and that's why I'm giving it its own musical
	7:47pm Doug Schulkind: When you’re done with Heaven’s Gate, Bronwyn, do Ishtar!
	7:48pm Bronwyn Bishop: Lol Doug the first person I told about this idea got really excited about it and it turned out he had gotten Heaven's Gate and Ishtar confused. Maybe I'll do a Flop Series
	7:51pm Webhamster Henry: I have this Dorothy Shay too, on LP though, not 78s
	🎭 7:52pm Listener Gregory: BB, will it be tragic or comedic? Or both?
	7:53pm Webhamster Henry: Ishtar is supposedly not too bad - it is Elaine May after all - but its bad rep had to do with cost overruns, just like Heaven's Gate.
	7:53pm Webhamster Henry: Hollywood hates money losers.
	7:57pm Webhamster Henry: A poster for The Ameer www.loc.gov...
	8:00pm Webhamster Henry: Throw that Itaiian and his monkey a nickel!
	8:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: It will definitely have elements of both! There is a lot of comedy to be mined from a disastrous movie production in which they built an entire functional 19th-century town that everyone hung out in for a year filming 220 hours of footage, but Michael Cimino's story is also pretty much a Greek tragedy (I am changing his name, the name of the movie and all the other names tho)
	🎭 8:08pm Listener Gregory: Wise. "Hell's Entrance"? By the way, Bronwyn, I love how you play the old and almost forgotten songs.
	8:12pm Webhamster Henry: It's hard to get an idea of this era of musical comedy and operetta, but really old movies have a bit of it, but TOPSY TURVY is pretty good, and there's a number in RAGTIME the movie that looks pretty authentic
	8:14pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Gregory: Hell's Entrance...I love it!! And yes I love the really old stuff (lots of it tonight)
	8:14pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: That reminds me that I keep wanting to watch Topsy Turvy! And I love Ragtime the movie (and the musical, and the book, although they are all very different)
	8:20pm Webhamster Henry: The impressive thing in Ragtime the book is the extra long trolley ride, with transfers.
	8:21pm Webhamster Henry: TOPSY TURVY is so good, you can smell the mutton!
	🎭 8:26pm Listener Gregory: I somehow read the book Act One by Moss Hart, which revealed a lot about theatrical production in the old days, as well as a slice of life of a poor child of immigrants in the Lower East Side. Recommended.
	8:29pm Bronwyn Bishop: I def want to read that at some point! They made a play out of it too
	8:29pm Webhamster Henry: Bolcom & Morris did a number of old Vaude and parlor tune albums.
	🎭 8:30pm Listener Gregory: BB, Did they! What he went through is unbelievable, but it also shows the amount of theater in all facets of society in those days.
	8:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: I wish theatre still had that kind of place in society
	8:38pm Webhamster Henry: The theatre -and theatre like experiences like beer gardens and big deal clubs with shows, bars with orchestras was it: there was no broadcast or other live mass media. also : lots of sheet music. That was it, you'd go out to see a show, then eat, with an orchestra, then go to the midnight frolic.
	8:46pm Bronwyn Bishop: This song was written by Rudolf Friml, who was pretty hot: en.wikipedia.org...
	8:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: That's definitely when I'm going back to when I get my time machine
	🎭 8:54pm Listener Gregory: Johnny Hartman is warming up my cold extremities.
	8:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bronwyn!
	🎭 8:55pm Listener Gregory: I believe this song was something of a hit for him, to the degree jazz singers have hits.
	8:55pm Webhamster Henry: More reading: They All Sang, by Ed Marks (ghostwritten by A.J. Liebling), it's more insane sequel They All Had Glamor (not ghostwritten)
	8:55pm Bronwyn Bishop: AJH book club!!!
	8:56pm Webhamster Henry: I'm sure we can throw together a bibliography - or just hang out in the Lincoln Center Library stacks.
	🎭 8:57pm Listener Gregory: Thanks for an excellent show, Bronwyn. And good luck with "Swinging Door to Paradise"!
	8:59pm Bronwyn Bishop: DOOR TO PARADISE!!! That's what I'll call it!!! Thank u Gregory!!!
	9:00pm Webhamster Henry: This show was a throwback to my 80s #bornin1823.
