Friday On My Mind: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop (2024)

Listener comments!
	🎭♥7:00pm Listener Gregory:Good evening, easy listeners.
	🎭♥7:02pm Dan S:Hi, Bronwyn and fellow AJH listeners. Easy listeners; that's a good one.
	🎭♥7:03pm WR:Monday mornin' feels so bad but Tonight! Curious, Saturday and Sunday aren't referenced in that song. Maybe it all became a blur once Friday had arrived.
	🎭♥7:11pm Listener Gregory: ↳Song:"At Last" by "George Benson · The Robert Farnon Or... George Benson was a really great jazz guitarist who pretty much gave it up to become a pop performer. I often wonder what he might have done if he had remained in jazz.
	🎭♥7:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳Listener Gregory @7:11 e.g., www.discogs.com...
	🎭♥7:17pm Dan S: ↳Song:"In My Perfect World" by "Arielle Jacobs, Jake Dav... Charming. I like the way it flips the gender script.
	🎭♥7:20pm Dan S: ↳Song:"Bottle Of Wine" by "Adam Kantor, Emily Walton & M... This guy has an interesting approach to romance. A bottle of wine combined with talk of the apocalypse.
	🎭♥7:25pm doctorjazz:Hi Bronwyn, Streamers!
	🎭♥7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳Listener Gregory @7:13 Yeah, early Benson was straight ahead jazz, organ trios. But he followed Wes Montgomery's lead, playing for the pop audience, and making a living...
	🎭♥7:28pm Dan S:Excellent set, BB!
	🎭♥7:30pm Dan S:Yes, the show must go on, but I sincerely hope that your apartment doesn't explode, Bronwyn!
	7:35pm Listener Gregory:Is 2016 not within the past 10 years? My God, my nap was longer than I thought!
	♥7:44pm Bronwyn Bishop:It's hard to believe it was 8 years ago
	♥7:48pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳Dan S @7:28 thank you!! :)
	🎭♥8:12pm Dan S:Hey Bronwyn, I'm curious, are you very multi-lingual? Do you understand the lyrics of many of these non-English songs you play? For me, while I can appreciate the quality of the singing, the fact of lyrics I can't understand tends to make me frustrated. I so want to know what the song is about!
	♥8:23pm Bronwyn Bishop:I know some Spanish but other than that no. If a song isn't in English or Spanish I have no idea what they're singing about and just hope it isn't offensive lol
	♥8:23pm Bronwyn Bishop:When I did an all Eastern European show when I was filling in earlier this year I didn't understand a single world all night and I'm guessing most of the listeners didn't either, great songs tho
	8:25pm Listener Gregory:Excellent set, Ms B. I pretended they were all singing Italian and really enjoyed the authentic background to the pasta I made.
	♥8:31pm northguineahills:ok, here!
	🎭♥8:31pm doctorjazz: ↳Song:"Cero Casamiento" by "Chivirico Davila" Got us dancing here at ChezJazz!
	🎭♥8:35pm doctorjazz:I remember being in a house in Seville, and the teenage son asked me to explain Hotel California. I was just, well, like, hard to explain (especially with limited Spanish).
	8:36pm Listener Gregory:It’s hard to explain in any language, @doctorj.
	🎭♥8:37pm WR:Excellent segue! La Lupe to Martha Reeves. Fast dance to slow dance.
	🎭♥8:37pm Dan S: ↳Song:"Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" by "Martha Ree... So true. For me. At least in my younger years.
	🎭♥8:38pm doctorjazz: ↳Dan S @8:37 Now, my love KEEPS me from doing foolish things (often, at least).
	🎭♥8:39pm doctorjazz: ↳Song:"Look a Little on the Sunny Side" by "The Kinks" !!!!!
	🎭♥8:40pm Dan S: ↳Song:"Look a Little on the Sunny Side" by "The Kinks" I'm trying. It can be tough. :)
	♥8:42pm northguineahills: ↳Song:"Infinitely Late at Night" by "The Magnetic Fields" how did i miss this whole record? (i have everything else from before in their catalog...
	🎭♥8:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳doctorjazz @8:39 What is the Monty Python tune... Always Look On the Bright Side of Life?? That actually appeared in a Broadway musical (eventually).
	♥8:43pm northguineahills: ↳doctorjazz @8:35 puedes registrarte pero nunca podras salir....
	♥8:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳Listener Gregory @8:42 spamalot! I saw that last fall and it was delightful
	🎭♥8:43pm Dan S: ↳Song:"Infinitely Late at Night" by "The Magnetic Fields" This sounds like it could be a show tune. It sets a scene. Good song. New to me.
	🎭♥8:45pm TonyR:Do not fight the playlist algorithm.
	🎭♥8:45pm WR: ↳Song:"Look a Little on the Sunny Side" by "The Kinks" I listened to that Kinks album many many times. Album, so nearly always playing a side at a time.
	🎭♥8:46pm Listener Gregory: ↳Bronwyn Bishop @8:43 As a Monty Python purist (having seen the original shows on PBS), I resisted the play. Then out-of-town friends came and made me go, and I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. Big sing-along of Bright Side of Life at the end.
	🎭♥8:47pm doctorjazz:Thanks Bronwyn!
	♥8:50pm northguineahills:super happy thanks, bronwyn!
	🎭♥8:54pm Listener Gregory:Sonja Henie was an Olympic athlete who became a movie star. I think the attraction was that ice routines could be done with short skirts and were considered sexy. But I remember a time when she was the prototypical skater, and people would say things like, "Do you think you're Sonja Henie?" to skaters.
	🎭♥8:55pm Dan S:Thanks for the show, Bronwyn! Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
	🎭♥8:56pm WR: ↳Listener Gregory @8:46 I'm somewhat an all things Python fan, I enjoyed the Spamalot show but enjoyed more the theatrical presentation (One Down, Five to Go) they did in 2013, even though I was watching a broadcast in a Cinema. When looking in Wikipedia to see the date of that, I am reminded that that show was triggered by the group having to pay 800,000 pounds to the producer of the movie, Holy Grail, for royalties owed due to Spamalot being a derivation of said movie.
	🎭♥8:58pm Listener Gregory:A bit of Wikipedia Henie research: "Henie is credited with being the first figure skater to use dance choreography, to adopt the short skirt in figure skating, and to wear white boots,[12] which deemphasized the heaviness of skates and produced a lighter and longer appearance of the skater's legs that was "a focal point for judges' and spectators' gaze"."
	8:59pm Marie in Chicago:love this! Great show (apu).
	🎭♥8:59pm Listener Gregory: ↳WR @8:56 Wow, that's a sizeable sum! Could a theatrical production make enough money to justify that licensing fee?
	🎭♥9:00pm WR: ↳Song:"There will never be another you" by "Chet Baker" I was looking at Chet Baker recordings that the NYPL has and saw that recording has a waiting list. I requested one of his late albums that featured Paul Desmond, recorded shortly before Desmond died.
	🎭♥9:00pm Listener Gregory:Great show tonight, Ms. B. Thanks a lot!
	🎭♥9:01pm Listener Gregory: ↳WR @9:00 Have you seen the documentary Let's Get Lost? That is excellent, if my memory is correct.
	🎭♥9:01pm WR: ↳Listener Gregory @8:59 Assume there were West End as well as the Broadway run.
	🎭♥9:01pm WR: ↳Listener Gregory @9:01 Nope, should visit that.
	🎭♥9:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳WR @9:01 It took years, but it eventually came out on DVD, so it may be rentable from your library.
