PLUS, we got to witness Najwa's reaction to hearing Scatman (yes, that smash crossover hit from 1995) for the first time. What a treat!

Strength Level: The Baritone Today’s strength level is “the baritone” for so many reasons…but mainly, because I have the freakin NYC based group “BARITONED” on the dang show!!! Edward Miskie, Joe Hager, Kyle Hines, and Dan Pardo are ALLLL here in the studio to horse around with Ryan, talk about how they found each other, how fun it is to walk around the globe as a herd of tallmen (one word purposefully), and SO MUCH dang more. You’re in for a real treat! In addition, Ryan even got them to give you guys a couple little snippets from the show they are currently touring called, “I Hate Men - the damsel in distress tour!” If you hear this on the day that the episode is released, RUN to see the show at Rockwell Table and Stage at 8PM, or go directly to San Francisco for their show tomorrow!!! If you DON’T hear this today, then run to social media and follow “Baritoned” in any way that you can possibly find them (@youhavebeenbaritoned)!!! What a true delight it was to have these guys in studio, and even better to call them my new friends. I’m sure you’ll agree with this sentiment after you’ve listened. OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY: Every once and awhile, it’s fun to look at your pet and think, “how weird is it that we live together in inter-special harmony”. If you don’t believe me, give it a try.

In the inaugural episode of Pardo's Turn, Broadway legend Chuck Cooper, best known for his Tony Award-winning performance in THE LIFE sings the iconic "Ol' Man River" from the groundbreaking 1927 musical SHOW BOAT. The analysis centers on the use of the pentatonic scale, and some clever reharmonizations. Chuck and I discuss the historical significance of the song, and his personal journey with it, especially in relation to the Paul Robeson lyrics, which he sang for its rendition in PRINCE OF BROADWAY.
