The PFF asked me to help MC, and to do a 15-20 min minute set, which is the exact length of this one song, which is based on something that really happened
Years ago my neighbor Martha told me that she got into a kerfuffle with a cashier at our local grocery store when she had 13 items in the express line. Ultimately the store manager opened up a separate checkout for those 3 items, by the time she left the store the cashiers were yelling at her, she was yelling back at them, and she was afraid to shop there for 3 months.
The rest of the stuff I made up.
One thing I have learned during this pandemic is that this is my most requested funny song and I hadn't performed it in years. Why? Who knows. But here it is -- enjoy! And I'll ask you, too. Who would you like to see in this play? You can choose anyone dead or alive to create your dream cast.

- My live Hurdy Gurdy concert has been moved from indoors to online -- I'm joined by a dozen singer/songwriters each doing 2 songs -- from 7 PM to 10 PM Eastern
- It begins with a funny song for our times, "Stress" by Jim Infantino, ends with Kate Taylor's lovely, "I've Got A Message"
- A strong lineup for top to bottom -- the incomparable Jim Infantino opens, Kate closes, and an embarrassment of riches in between
- Columnist Jennifer Finney Boylan was inspired by the song to write about her best summer -- what was yours?
- The PFF asked me to help MC, and to do a 15-20 min minute set, which is the exact length of this one song, which is based on something that really happened

- Believe it or not, when I wrote this song inspired by the 2009 Scripps Spelling Bee, I SPELT TWO WORDS WRONG! Finally I've made up for it.
- Jimmy Webb wrote the perfect song for the launch back in 1978, and here Michael Feinstein sings it.
- Have a favorite in the show? Here's when each performs so you can zip right to them --
