Music

The following was recorded live at City Winery in Atlanta on February 27th 2024. It is accompanied once again by the ever brilliant Eric Gersen. This musical answers the question: "What's the full story behind that jump rope rhyme about cinderella and the snake and the doctors?" Put this one on the list of things Disney can sue us for. Thank you Atlanta for your warm welcome and your incredible rhythm. If we could do it again, we'd keep it all the same. Once upon a time...

TECH NOTE: The recording had some technical difficulties during the first song, but they resolve as the episode continues. Thank you for your understanding.
