Dave Frishberg On Frank Loesser

Hello, folks...

Here's a link to songwriter Dave Frishberg's reminiscence about a lecture on song creation that he received from Frank Loesser, composer of evergreens such as Baby, It's Cold Outside, and the songbook for the Broadway musical, Guys and Dolls:

Although we all end up writing lyrics and composing music from our unique personal worldviews and emotional make-up, nonetheless I find an unexpected degree of inspiration in Mr. Loesser's seemingly heartfelt dedication to the idea of songwriting as a craft, firstly, out of which art hopefully will manifest itself.

And now, it's time to laugh!

Q: How is an orgasm like a drum solo?

A: You can tell it's coming but there's no way to stop it.

Q: Why don´t Penguins like rock music?

A: They only like sole.

Talk to ya' later, alligators!

Had the pleasure of listening to Dave Frishberg on WMNF out of Tampa on the 100th Anniversary of Johnny Mercers birth. He reminisced about the little time he spent with Johnny in New York. Of course he played and sang Mercer tunes and dotted the show with amusing stories. i immediately came home and looked up Dave Frishberg.

Nice article and some great advice.
