This week's playlist runs the gamut from Carribbean Isle paradise to New York grit to Never Land to down home fillin' station country. Once On This Island, written by the team who brought us Ragtime and Anastasia, is our opening...then we mix in some Frank Loesser Bushels and Pecks...then Cole Porter's Can-Can, which starred Lilo, a French actress they thought would bowl everybody over. Turns out Gwen Verdon, in the second banana role, stole the show, that and the Michael Kidd choreography!
Then a bit of Sally Kellerman, who YES is a singer of (mostly) jazz, performing a nifty bad girl song, "Good Girls Go To Heaven," from that questionable Breakfast at Tiffany's. She adds just the right amount of sleaze. And we close with some Mark Hardwicke country...just "Serve Yourself!"
