Musical Interlude: I love Janet Klein, and it makes me sad that she's never performed out this way. Guess I'll have to go to LA if I want to see her live...sigh...
But here's a charming video from her, showcasing her style and sense of fun.

Musical Interlude: I've been binge-listening to Janet Klein's musical oeuvre in my car...I love her so. She's a songstress who does songs from 1910s, 20s, and 30s, and has a blast doing so. Here's a slightly naughty song from the 20s that makes me giggle.
"How Could Red Riding Hood" performed by Janet Klein and Ian Whitcomb.
Musical Interlude: I can go back to Janet Klein over and over again, and I will do so today, as she worries about the welfare of her pet...
"My Canary Has Circles Under Its Eyes," performed by Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys
Musical Interlude: Here's another song from one of my favorites, Janet Klein, who resurrects Tin Pan Alley songs from the teens, 20s, and 30s. This song may sound like it's got some Semitic stereotyping, but it's from the Jewish vaudeville tradition; Klein would later release an album called "Yidische Follies" of songs from Jewish comedians and vaudeville performers.
"Yiddish Hula Boy," performed by Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys

Musical Interlude: I love Janet Klein. Her performances of Tin Pan Alley songs from the teens and 20s make me giddy with joy. She's also a connoisseur of early animation, one of my pet fascinations. Here's a track from her album "Paradise Wobble," a fun, slightly naughty song.
"Oh You Nasty Man," performed by Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys
Musical Interlude: I love Janet Klein and her repertoire of classic Tin Pan Alley songs from the oughts, teens, and 20s. Here she is, live at LA's Steve Allen Theater in 2007, doing one of my favorite tracks by her.

Musical Interlude: Janet Klein is the bee's knees. Here she is, with the late Ian Whitcomb, singing a slightly naughty song from a century ago.

Musical Interlude: I'm sure I've posted some Janet Klein before, but here's some more. This is an overlooked, seductive song that makes me melt with joy. Lie back and relax, or dance with your sweetie....
