Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from December 8, 2023 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).

Yo TonyR; from what I’ve gathered from experiencing SM Ken’s shows thru the years = he would be challenged by broadcasting any one item for more than several minutes thruout his show😉; he only played one track focusing on the ‘menstruation confrontation’.

I wasn't familiar with that version so I just listened to it on YouTube. Hmm. Interesting choice. Whereas to sing as well as Ray Davies isn't much of a challenge, to sing like Patti Lupone is a tough one.
