Playlist For Sunday, June 16, 2019: Still Feisty After All These Shows

This Sunday marks the 300th live 2 On The Aisle. That may not sound like a lot, but for this amateur, who literally shook in her shoes every one of those first 299th or so shows, it is. I never thought I'd last out the first year...But here I am, still spinning Broadway, trying to push the right buttons at the right times, attempting to pronounce the Bernsteins and the Fiersteins correctly, and have fun at the same time!

 Above, Year One...

vs

Below, Year Seven, and a little more feisty!

I never know for sure who's listening every Sunday, or perusing this blog, but every week I hope to not only remind you of the Golden Age of Broadway and celebrate those Comdens, those Greens, those Red Hot & Blues,  but also to invade your ears with the rarities, the flops, the also-rans, the diamonds in the rough...as well as contemporary Broadway (which of course includes all of the above!). The range is huge, so when you hear something you don't care for on 2OAT (nay, makes your teeth ache or blood boil), hopefully all you have to do is wait 10 minutes and voila! Hey, I like this/know this/can sing along to this/dance with me, bubbalah!/I love it!

I started off being a Sondheim nut, on a pretty high horse. I got off that and played Sugar Babies. And learned Broadway as I played it week after week, maybe just like you. I'll keep spinning for awhile longer, maybe 300 more live shows, and we can see how we're doing then. Meanwhile, it's you and me, Bubbalah!
