Playlist For July 9, 2023: Sweaty, Steamy And...awww Shucks!

So now we're in the thick of it. Summer has hit. I see the 4th of July as the real start of the season, when sweat trickles, bugs swarm, the AC groans, and potato salad spoils. Hot damn. Annnnd love it!

 

 No my present view, but one can manifest!

I'll be in and out of the Jazz90.1 studios in the next 2 months, but hey! You've caught a LIVE one if you're listening this Sunday, the 9th. Vacation songs, lazy hammock songs, too darn hot songs...plus samples from two extremely new to Broadway shows. One song I swore not to play (Corn) from Shucked (cuz I'm "crazy with the heat, crazy with the heat")(name THAT musical!) and Kimberly Akimbo. Plus a vehicular mini theme. And a growing older set, because we have a listener birthday to celebrate (though he remains, like Jack Benny, only 39). Put it all in your cocktail shaker, add an umbrella, and focus on tan lines. 

 

Victoria Clark (Tony Winner for her role in this show, and Light In The Piazza) and her teenage gang at "Skater Planet" in Kimberly Akimbo.

 

Below, the story tellers from Shucked, Ashley D. Kelley and Grey Henson, and the saga of "Corn". Grey's appeared in the Broadway production of The Book Of Mormon and Mean Girls.

Enjoy your July. That's not an order, just a whispered-on-the-breeze exhortation. Find that summer go-to outfit, your best sunglasses, your flip flops, your cushy chaise, and LAZE. 

Oh, and "radio"! ;)
