From: open mike Our own darling Jimmy T is performing on stage in a musical called Pump Boys and Dinettes - The pump boys sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country, and the dinettes (Prudie and Rhetta Cupp) run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, even kitchen utensils. ah ha--there is the connection--kitchen utensils?/!! maybe even spatulas! http://www.musicalheaven.com/p/pump_boys_and_dinettes.shtml http://www.mikecraver.com/markpbd.html http://www.tonytee.nl/theatre/pumpboys/indexpump.shtml sounds like fun...Jimmy I mean Jackson..break a leg! |

13 Mar 05 - 10:53 PM (#1434068) Subject: RE: We have a Thespian among us! From: jimmyt Blush! I do not wear a thong onstage! Apart from the occasional nude scene, it is family entertainment. Today we performed a sunday matinee, finished at 3:45, rushed home and rehearsed the real music, folk for three hours for an upcoming St Paddy's gig. What a nice thought to put this in a thread! I am , in fact, a closet thespian. I have been performing, directing or writing shows for the last 14 years now. It has given me a different perspective on entertainment although I have been performing music since I was a kid. The one great thing the stage has done for me is bring me to the upright bass. I was going to audition for a play called Smoke on the MOuntain a few years back and the part I was auditioning for required that I play bass. I knew another performer was already a bass player and it would be difficult to possibly get the part unless I could show some hopes of being able to play a bit of bass, so I borrowed the high school bass, taught myself to muddle by a bit in three chord studd in G and D enough to get the part. I have found the bass to be my favorite instrument ever, and as a result, have come to folk music. Probably one of the more roundabout way of becoming a folkie! Thanks again for the nice sentiments. jimmyt |

All these thespians coming out of the closet, practicing their horrid and unnatural practices before everybody, degrading themselves in public! Yeah, yeah, some people say it's genetic, but WE know better! As it says in the Bible or somewhere. PREverts, that's what they are! And I should know, for I once had top billing in Shaw's "Androcles." But I have since seen the light and been converted and...what? my own BROTHER?!...awards for his thespianism? BOTH brothers? AND my very own FATHER?? Well! You just can't tell, can you? Those thespians must be awfully wonderful people and should be encouraged. Break a leg, Doc. |

In the 1980s there was a touring "Pump Boys and Dinettes" whose cast included Tom Chapin, Maria Muldaur and a young, pre-famous Shawn Colvin. They were terrific, as I'm betting you are, too.
