Musical

We saw a show in Lake Placid called 5 Guys Named Moe. It's one of those shows pulled together around a bunch of songs, these being songs performed and in some cases written by Louis Jordan (much to the disappointment of some of our party who thought it would be songs of Charles Jourdan, the French crooner). It's not really much of a show. A guy alone in his apartment feeling sorry for himself and 5 guys named Moe jump out of his radio to help him get a handle on his life, make up with his girlfriend, etc. I'm not sure what it is they do to help him, aside from sing a lot of fun songs. Any show that has Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens is ok by me.

One of my favorite things I ever saw on TV was a bit on Candid Camera where they had a whole diner filled with singers and musicians (all hiding their instruments) and when an unsuspecting customer said something they all break into a musical number, like in a show. The waitress starts singing to him, people in booths take out violins and horns and an accordion, and other customers start to dance. Too bad life isn't really like that.
