The return of Riki Lindhome as a comedy musician is making me ever so happy… Her latest single, “So Long, Farewell,” is the perfect Christmas drop because, well, it’s not a Christmas song but references the most non-Christmas musical Sound Of Music, and “My Favorite Things,” one of the most depressing songs in history to be recast as a song about getting presents. Was that verbal nonsense? Yes, it was. But, also, I never knew I’d fall in love with a song from the perspective of Baroness Elsa Schraeder, who could do better than Georg von Trapp and his 800 singing children.
Anyways, Riki Lindhome’s debut solo full-length, No Worries if Not, is coming to your friendly neighborhood DSP on March 14th. (Pi Day!) She’s also bringing her one-woman musical, Dead Inside, to SF Sketchfest! Catch her at Club Fugazi on January 18th. I’ll be there!
