From "Waiting for Life" to "Waiting for the Girls Upstairs" --
it's Sondheim time once again. This year, we're focusing on
conversation songs, a sub-genre Sondheim may have himself invented.
We begin with the aforementioned octet (!) from
1971's Follies and talk about why this song may be
the key to understanding the whole show.
All clips are from 1985's Follies in Concert are

Note: the DVD does not include all of the songs in full, but is
still an fascinating watch.
