Hi everyone,

I thought list members might be interested to know that Amy's "Keep It To
Yourself" is one of the numbers featured in the one-woman show "Spin: An
Inverted Musical," engagingly performed by Catherine Berry at the Blue
Theatre in Austin, Texas (the show ended its run Sept. 4). The show had an
innovative concept -- Berry took the 11 songs she wanted in the show and
sent them to eight different writers, who wrote monologues inspired by the
songs. (She calls it an "inverted musical" because the songs came first, not
the plot.) Appropriately enough, "Keep It To Yourself" (which Berry sang in a
not un-Amylike manner, to howls from the audience) was followed by a
lighthearted revenge fantasy involving the fate of an inconsiderate Hoboken
steakhouse diner who blocked the narrator's car on the street and was
recalcitrant about moving it (well, I suppose you had to be there).

By the way, the other songs in "Spin" were by the likes of Lerner and Loewe,
Jacques Brel, Stephen Sondheim, Johnny Mercer, Rodgers and
Hammerstein, Cy Coleman, Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin, so Amy is in good
company there...
