Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 11, 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).

Stupid e-tickets on friggin' phones. Fie, I say! In my day, an usher tore the thing and gave you back half. Was that so WRONG?? Anyway, I survived and am here on time.

Hey, why are my hands floating around the ceiling???? Maybe I overdid it with the acid.

You can never overdo it with the acid here on Acid Jazz Hands!!!

Loser's Lounge occasionally does thematic revues, but usually they do works of one or two composers or bands.

Always wanted to catch one of those Loser's Lounge shows, but never made it.

They still do them!

Joe McGinty & The Loser’s Lounge present the debut of an all new show: “Dylan/ Not Dylan.” A night of songs written by Bob Dylan, one of the greatest songwriters of all time, but performed as they were interpreted by other artists.

Glad to hear some On The Town! I played in the pit orchestra for a production a couple years ago. Such difficult music, but such a good time
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:18pm

Sounded interesting, so I checked out ticket availability for the Friday Dylan/Not Dylan (haven't gone to a live show since early December, when the latest wave started). Almost sold out, single seats near the washroom only ones left...
Avatar 🎭 7:22pm
Listener Gregory:

That Cole Porter song seemed like a deep cut to me. Is everyone else familiar with it?
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:22pm
Webhamster Henry:

@drjazz I used to be part of their roster of singers, it was tremendous fun! Some songs are done dead-accurately, others take off into another direction!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:22pm

@charlotte: So cool, Bernstein's score must have been fun/crazy to play!!

I call my co-workers and customers Mr. and Ms. exception those I am very close with.

Totally was! Some of the notes I didn’t even know were in my instrument’s range
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:30pm
doctorjazz:

Henry, it seems to be a terrific idea for a concert (many, though not including me) believe Dylan done by other artists is the best Dylan. But the only show that has available tickets is Thursday 9:30, which of course is a difficult time to manage for most who work.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:30pm
doctorjazz:

It must have been much fun to perform at those shows, though, Henry.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:31pm

@DRJazz they'll do more. They are super fun! We used to do them in the Fez Under Time Cafe and over in the WestBeth theatre.

He worst thing of many bad things about St Louis women is their store-bought hair.
Avatar 🎭 7:34pm
Listener Gregory:

I give credit to Ms. Boston for that performance, as the memory of Bessie Smith is never far from that song.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:36pm
doctorjazz:

I remember the Fez Under Time Cafe-very short lived if I remember that part correctly. Went to see the Microscopic Septet one Sunday there when a blizzard started that day (hadn't paid attention to weather that day). There were 6 people in the audience for the 1st set, just me and my date for the 2nd set. I tend to bop my head enthusiastically at concerts with eyes closed-I lifted my head, looked up, and the whole band was bopping their heads in time with mine in a tease...
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:37pm
doctorjazz:

(I talked to members of the band a few years back when they did a reunion concert, they still remembered that)
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:39pm

We're in the 20's and 30's; Satch made this famous. This is a really nice version though.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:40pm
doctorjazz:

(you didn't post who's singing yet, I'd guess an older diva)
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:42pm
doctorjazz:

She would have been 66 in 1991 (she has the wide vibrato some singers develop when they get older)
She's still terrific!
Avatar 🎭 7:43pm

Sarah Vaughan does my favorite version of this.
The Microscopic Septet was a great group, Doctor!

Ain’t Misbehavin’ is a great musical. I think I saw it, but possibly I just played the Cast album a few dozen times.

Ah this bed music!
Avatar 🎭 7:51pm

Ms Bishop, did you say that all the songs of Ain't Misbehavin' are by Fats Waller? It also included some songs that he performed but didn't write, like It's a Sin to Tell a Lie, yass yass.

You have really stumped me with your Cole Porter choices, Ms Bishop. How many other songs did he write that @doctorj and I don’t know, because Ella Fitzgerald never recorded them?

Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well.. was the first of the song revue shows!

A tune that Tiny Tim did justice to but greatly enjoying this recording.

Didn't know Livin' in the Sunlight was a Sherman / Lewis song.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:56pm
Webhamster Henry:

@solo mon that movie was part of an interesting experiment in filming Broadway (and in this case, off Broadway) and showing the films for higher ticket prices in a limited number of movie theatres for a limited time "never to be shown again". It was not a big success.

While Ms Bishop was three, watching SpongeBob, I was listening to the Tiny Tim album, which I bought w my own money.
