Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from November 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).

I voted already, by mail in NY. Yes, I voted for Harris. BTW, fellow New Yorkers, don't forget to vote 'Yes' on Ballot Proposal #1 to strengthen the state Equal Rights Amendment. It's on the backside of the ballot, not the front.

Based on both her musical tastes and political opinions, I'd support a Bronwyn Bishop for President campaign! For 2032, that is. She won't be old enough to be eligible for the office until turning 35.

The movie was released in 1959 and I think I saw it in 60 or 61 and was so amazed could not wrap my head around all I was seeing (and I was about 11 years old). I later saw it on TV in mid 60s which reinforced my memories.
