Well like it or not, a lot of modern G&S productions are doing those little asides. Some of them pretty funny in my view and some not so funny; especially in Mikado productions where Trump and conservatives find themselves on the Lord High executioner’s “little list”. The Brits, who always seem to have some sort of production going on in some town and village have been “modernizing things”...too much in my view...to keep things “relevant”.
Me...well you’ve already seen that I can “adapt” G&S phrasing and skewer progressives. There’s just something in the music, the rhymes schemes(to which I stay loyal, and the sarcasm that allows such skewering of progressives to be done!...
And as for who it was that may have “fondled” Blasey Ford”...”ehrr right....it was the cat!”
But for anyone interested, the at least 100 year old tradition of including names of local pols ( NEVER a PM nor American president though! ) and places, in I HAVE A LITTLE LIST, is just normal and solely specific to this song.
See your FRmail!
