• Tomorrow is Labor Day and you just heard the Queen of Country, Dolly Parton, sing her Oscar nominated title song from the movie 9 to 5, which was also her very first movie role. In fact she would only do the role if she could also write the title song.

• Labor Day celebrates workers and Unions that brought us safety laws, weekends, and the 8 hour workday.

• Our first set celebrates those that serve us food. First up we have “Opening Up” from the musical Waitress. Then we will hear “Ooh! My Feet!” from The Most Happy Fella. And we will end this set with Andrew Garfield singing “Sunday” from the film version of tick, tick…Boom! which features many epic Broadway stars. Here’s “Opening Up” from Waitress.
