Playlist for Sunday, Jan. 28th, 2018: Pass The Kiwis

It's come to THIS: a theme about fruit and vegetables. Yup, we may have hit a new low here at 2 On The Aisle. And just so you know, there are NOT a lot of songs about vegetables on Broadway. They get a very raw deal. Apples and cherries, even a pineapple rates higher than cauliflower and broccoli. So no matter how I tried, we will not be getting equal portions in a musical way!

But we WILL get a good deal (Super Size Me!) of Golden Age O'Broadway Classics, as well as 21st Century stuff. A nice-sized Lerner and Loewe collection, enough Noel Coward to last you through this "World Weary" winter, and the lovely Christine Ebersole. Then Contemporary takes over with ballads by Jason Robert Brown, a Shrek from Sutton, and Ben Platt with his no-dry-eyes-left-in-the-house rendition of "Words Fail". See? Just because you don't eat your veggies, doesn't mean you can't have dessert. :)

Annnnnd just to let you all know, if you can't always tune in to 2 On The Aisle on Sundays at 3pm, you now have a 2nd chance: On Fridays between 4 and 6pm, there will be a rebroadcast of that week's show, on our sister internet station, Swing & Blues Radio. So 2 chances to hear 2 on the Aisle!  Just jump on the website (Jazz901.org) and click on S&B, or use your Tune In app on your mobile device (or like 7 other apps, I think)(don't look at me)(I'm mobile device challenged) and listen in.

So see you on Sunday (or Friday). Clean your plate.
