    “Well, That’s Show Biz!”

    • Welcome to “well, That’s Show Biz!”. I am your host, Jeremy Freedman, and each week I bring you music from Broadway, Movies, and Entertainers along with some anecdotes, information, and commentary all based on a theme.


    • Today’s show was pre-recorded.


    • Thanksgiving was Thursday, a time for reflection, giving thanks, and of course, stuffing ourselves to the gills with food. Thanksgiving and Gratitude are our dual themes today.


    • Our first set deals with the holiday of Thanksgiving and food. We are going to open with Bing Crosby singing “I’ve Got Plenty To Be Thankful For” from the movie Holiday Inn. We will follow that with “Food, Glorious Food” from Oliver!. Then we are going to learn all about “Corn” from the musical Shucked. And we will close with “Abbondanza”, Abundance, from The Most Happy Fella. Here’s Bing Crosby and Holiday Inn.


    • It’s Thanksgiving weekend and you just heard Bing Crosby singing “I’ve Got Plenty To Be Thankful For” from the movie Holiday Inn, “Food, Glorious Food” from Oliver!, “Corn” from the musical Shucked, and “Abbondanza”, Abundance, from The Most Happy Fella.

    • Besides eating a turkey feast, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and Gratitude.


    • We are going to open our second set with Patrick Wilson singing “There But For You Go I” from Brigadoon. Then we are going to hear “Where You Belong” from Maybe Happy Ending. And we are going to close this set with “For Good” from Wicked. Here’s “There But For You Go I” from Brigadoon.


    • You just heard “There But For You Go I” from Brigadoon, “Where You Belong” from Maybe Happy Ending, and “For Good” from Wicked as we celebrate Thanksgiving and Gratitude today on “well, That’s Show Biz!”.

    • We are celebrating Thanksgiving with songs about Gratitude today and for this next set we have Robert Morse and company singing about the “Brotherhood of Man” from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and then Carol Burnett declaring “I’m Still Here” from the fabulous 1985 New York Philharmonic Concert Cast Recording of Follies. Here’s “Brotherhood of Man”.

    • For our final set for Thanksgiving and Gratitude, we begin with “All Good Gifts” from Godspell. Then one of my favorite songs, “I Belong Here” from Jerry Herman’s The Grand Tour. And we will end this set with the Finale to The Wiz, “Home”. But we will have one more song after this set.  Here’s “All Good Gifts” from Godspell.


    • You just heard “All Good Gifts” from Godspell, “I Belong Here” from The Grand Tour, and “Home” from The Wiz.


    • And of course, just as Santa Clause brings up the rear at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, here’s Angela Lansbury with our traditional last Thanksgiving holiday song, “We Need a Little Christmas”.


    • You just heard “We Need a Little Christmas” from Mame which is the traditional ending to our Thanksgiving/Gratitude show.
