Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from January 7, 2022 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).

Hi, Bronwyn! It was great to see the picture of you playing the accordion in today's listing of Drummer Stream shows!

Am I the only listener who knows that "Morocco" refers to a goat skin used to bind books, formerly associated with that country? At least, so I believe, from reading catalogs of old books.

@WR, there will be no late seating!

Hi Gregory and WR!! Gregory you scared me, I actually did used to play accordion when I was a kid and I thought Doug had somehow tracked down a photo of me when I was 13

I'm going to print that picture out and put it on my wall with your name underneath. It's a shame you gave up the accordion, though.
Nice lively opening.

I'm pausing StarKid's "Twisted" for the duration of the show.

NB:

"A handsome, hard-wearing leather made of goat-skin and apt for dyeing in strong colours. Islamic in origin, the morocco leathers were first imported into western Europe through Turkey and Venice, domesticated in Italy early in the 16th century, north of the Alps early and in England late in the 17th. Turkey was the normal name in England in the 17th and early 18th centuries.

"Today, morocco has no more geographical significance than its subspecies levant and turkey, for most of it used for binding comes from other parts of the world; and the only common denominator among the numerous varieties of leather which go under the name is that they are all goat-skin...."

Ha, @NB, I checked my memory against that same book before writing my comment!
Avatar 🎭 7:20pm
Listener Gregory:

BB, you have "traditional" for the music & lyrics of Shenandoah, but it sounded to me like they wrote new lyrics to the old song, which I found rather jarring. At least, those lyrics are not the ones I've usually heard in folk settings or choruses.

Listener Gregory, I think there's a joke about the double meanings of "morocco" in the song "The Road to Morocco". I knew the meaning!

@Sweet Lizzie, I was responding to the show title, which I bet comes from that song.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:29pm

Just can't wrap my head around "starwars of nudie musicals". Just a random attempt to associate with something that was successful?

I hope you didn't spend good money on this record.

If it was released in 1976, it was the Star Wars of nudie musicals before there even was a Star Wars.

Little known fact: That dildo song originated in Yiddish theater. A lot of people say it was even funnier there.

I mean, the rhyme of "dildische" and "knish" is simply not in English.

@WR, I find it interesting to listen to classic jazz sides on YouTube and see the original record label with the description "FoxTrot," as if someone was going to dance these records. Maybe they were, but good luck to them!

The Fleischers did a parody of the Road movies with Popeye, Olive and Bluto called "We're on Our Way to Rio"
Avatar 🎭 8:08pm
Listener Gregory:

The "road to Morocco" pun only works in that particular phrasing. You couldn't get it with "we're bound for..., going to...," or any other phrasing ending in a preposition, which would be the most common way to say that. So, I give Johnny Burke great credit for coming up with this.
