What a hoot!

"I owned this many years ago and made a tape from it--which has gone the way of all old tapes, so it was a delight to discover this available on CD. Of course there's a ton of references that kiddies won't get--like Hermione Gingold's first impression of New York "First the harbor, then the skyline--and that enormous statue of Judith Anderson." But there's no dating of her hilarious "The Borgias are having an orgy" and her song for a drug musical, "Cocaine." If you appreciate old revue songs (remember songs? those things with melodies and words you can hear over the crash, crash, crash of the tom-toms?), and you have a sense of humor, you'll get a genuine kick out of this charming old collection."
