Posted: 8/28/04 at 11:54amIf You Hadn't But You Did is def tricky as is Peter Rabbit ( @ times) But the KILLER Gilbert & Sullivan is "The Nightmare Song" from Iolanthe. I use it as my definiative "drunk" test. If I can still say it intelligibly- I ain't drunk enuf! (lol)

"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

Posted: 8/29/04 at 3:12pmWhile a lot of these are fast songs, the patter in Getting Married Today and Modern Major General are really on a whole different level, agree? I have to say that most Sondheim and G&S is...
I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere
