Whether it's good times or bum times it's still fun to sit around and talk about this song that can often steal the show. I'm Still Here is a song that's been covered by dozens of artists, but how does it work in the show Follies? Alex Stuive joins Kyle to explain the references and how the music in addition to the lyrics makes this one of Sondheim's best.

Here they come, those beautiful fools. William C. White returns to the show to discuss Sondheim's influence in writing slow waltzes, the original song that was supposed to open Follies, and try to figure out who Lorelai was.

William's website: http://www.willcwhite.com
William's Twitter: https://twitter.com/willcwhite
William's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/willcwhite

Some of the inspirations Will mentioned are:
Erik Satie's Gymnopédies: https://youtu.be/_fuIMye31Gw
Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto in G: https://youtu.be/p-u6BGAvmFY
Claude Debussy's Danse sacrée et danse profane, for harp and strings: https://youtu.be/rMRzGjqXChs

The original opening was supposed to be a song called Bring on the Girls. Here's a version sung by Jason Tam: https://youtu.be/JG-Ba7QcfS8

One of the songs Sondheim is using for inspiration in this pastiche is Irving Berlin's A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody. Here' s a version sung by Don Ameche: https://youtu.be/uVip_kTtxq0
