Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 4, 2025 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).

So you had this as an ear worm in 2024 and now you are sharing it with us. Thank you. Funny, I only had minimal memory of this song, remembered the riff and beat but not the words. So had no idea it was Computer Games.

Oh, where are my manners? Hi Bronwyn, fellow AJH (or whatever) listeners. I'll probably listen until at least 9 PM; after that, I start to poop out. Your usual 7-9 PM timeslot is perfect for me! LOL

I'm ripping some CDs that I got from the library. Unfortunately, but curiously, disc 1 was an old Dolly Parton "Best of" comp instead of the expected Prince4Ever. The case does have the Prince cd2. So now do I try to get the Dolly Best of and see if it has the Prince cd1 in it? Oh bother bother.
