Playlist For Sunday, April 25, 2021: Good Thing Goin'!

 So in the middle of my show yesterday, my headphones decided to commit hari-kari. They sort of fell apart. In the middle of a weather "report". Which caused me to sort of fall apart, too. That's my excuse, anyway, and I'm sticking to it! I might have said it was 200 degrees warmer or colder "in the Flower City." I have no clue, I've blocked it out. Well, maybe I haven't. As Jeff Harris (host of Big Road Blues) once scolded me, "When are you gonna get over yourself, Kim?" Working on that.

I've ordered a new pair. (And you can take that A LOT of ways.)

Meanwhile, I'm trying to listen to Goodtime Charley. Even with GOOD headphones, this musical would be "trying", okay? Music was by those Good Man, Charlie Brown dudes, Hal Hackady and Larry Grossman (who also did Minnie's Boys and Snoopy). A "comical take" on the Dauphin of France (hedonistic, petulant, and spoiled rotten, as is every dauphin I've ever met) who becomes obsessed with Joan of Arc, who I guess, helps him grow the heck up and get regal already, while she goes off to her barbecue. Originally gonna star Al Pacino and Barbara Harris. Right. Ended up with Joel Grey and Ann Reinking. 3 months on Broadway and whammo. (If this sounds a lot like the plot of Pippin, sans Ben Vereen, remember that it WAS the 1970s and we were all emoting and finding ourselves back then, even dauphins and dauphinettes.)

 And that's how I wear my collar...musta got the style from Joel.

 

But that gives us our really GOOD theme of the day! Not great, just GOOD. Be good or be gone. Good enough for Grandma. Fie on goodness. God, that's good! And yes, Goodtime Charley, which (thanks to all the GOODNESS in this playlist) we will survive. PLUS we've got Broadway Birthdays: Celeste Holm, Carol Burnett, ANNNNND Funny Girl Babs (who turns 79 on April 24), so huzzahs and cupcakes all around.

I don't think Babs has ever gotten over HERSELF! Sheesh...

 

Alright, time to get going. Huge To Do list.  Number 1: Get Over Yourself. Number 2: Try again, cuz the first time probably won't work. Number 3: Make birthday cupcakes for the world!  See ya Sunday. :))))
