Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from February 23, 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).

Hey Bronwyn, maybe you can help me with something. For a project i won't go into, I'm looking for a good song selection or two from "Godspell" (other than "Day by Day"). Alternatively, any good songs from musicals relating to Jesus or Christianity (other than JC Superstar).

I think Doug discussed this song on his show. It started in a Yiddish show and then was translated into German where it was a *huge* hit... until the Nazis found out it was actually of Jewish origin. Awkward! Not sure what they did then... banned it? Just ignored the origin?

A suggestion: If anyone else has some info about Bronwyn's musical, please post it on the comments board here. I signed up for that newsletter but haven't gotten anything yet. After all, if BB doesn't post it herself, it's not self-promotion, right? And if that causes Ken to grab his whip and start looking for someone to punish, I'll accept responsibility.

Decades ago a guy on WBAI talked about that 'dead air' rule and went right up to the limit of what the FCC then allowed with no sound on-air. I don't remember exactly, but it was a fairly long time. Maybe like 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
