Tunes on Tuesday: Googling My Ex

Why this tune?

I’ve had an exciting and busy week performing my revue “Are you out of your mind?” with Barbara Papendorp at the District Fringe festival in Washington, DC. The show includes a bunch of my songs plus one from Dave Frishberg and this week’s song by Jill Leger, an accomplished songwriter currently living in Toronto. “Googling My Ex” was the title song of Jill’s musical revue that she staged in Washington, DC in 2008. Barbara performed in that production, part of a
talented cast of theater professionals.

The song is as relevant now as it was then, and fit
well with the theme of this show, “songs of
confessing, obsessing and second-guessing.” The reviews have been generally positive, noting that
this isn’t “serious” theater, but rather 
“a delightfully baggage-free hour filled with joy.”

This has been my first small step into the theater world,
and perhaps the first of more to come.
