Myrna = Pizazz-Plus!!
Somewhere at the intersection of Judy Garland, Ethel Merman, and a parrot imitating a squeaky door we find the amazing Myrna. Some of the links to Myrna's masterwork Explosive Vocal Percussion are dead (Jaykayess? a public service, please re-up?) but the comments are so apropos (and hilarious) that it's worth a visit.
On today's album we find the lovely Myrna re-creating the glorious days of burlesque with such single-entendre renditions of My Heart Belongs to Daddy, Let Me Entertain You, and Teach Me Tonight. With splendid results. But Myrna is not just a chanteuse, oh no....here's what the liner notes tell us:
In Myrna March, one is delighted with dynamic and aware musicianship, including a high regard for lyrics and their meaning. This latter trait of Myrna's is no doubt partly die to her own involvement in songwriting. Besides her contributions to this album (the words and music to "Don't Touch" and the lyric of "Tell Me What You Want To Do"), Myrna is a bonafide contributor to the "now" sound with the creation of much material in this vein. One of her songs is the recent "soul" hit "I Can Remember", which enjoys 30 different recorded versions at this writing.
I was so excited to see this album at yesterday's record convention that I spent an unheard of eight dollars on it. But I'm sure you will find it worthwhile.
Myrna
