Variety is the spice of ...well, you know. And that's what WE GOT this coming Sunday. From the iconic Call Me Madam, and Ethel's "Hostess with the Mostes' on the Ball," to those also-rans like the unopened (still waiting there on the pantry shelf, like an old can of tuna) Breakfast at Tiffany's. Whew, whatta range! We'll also have time for a mini-tribute to Nancy Walker, that incredible character actress who did radio, Broadway, movies, television AND commercials. Remember those Bounty paper towel ads? Well, Nancy was a multi-faceted musical comedienne , and we'll feature three songs that prove it!
In addition we have a tale to tell about "Call Me Savage" and "Witches Brew"...2 different shows, 2 different sets of lyrics, and 1 melody. I guess if Jules Styne can't get away with this sort of recycling, who can?
And enjoy "Lunching at the Automat" (remember those?) and "Sara Lee," an ode to coffee cake. Til Sunday!
