A nice New York Times review:
"Women's Expressive Theater has turned Walkerspace into a tiny vaudeville stage, complete with red velvet curtains, little round tables and popcorn handed out at the door. Providing original and adapted music are the Moonlighters, a great ukulele-steel-guitar close-harmony band that specializes in 1940's-style Hawaiian music and grabs the flavor of the era with classics like "Frankfurter Sandwiches" ("Instead of me billing and cooing/ All I keep doing is chewing/ Frankfurter sandwiches/ Frankfurter sandwiches/ All night long")."
Actually, Frankfurter Sandwiches is about the only thing we didn't compose in the score. What a joy this experience has been.

Congratulations with the review Mike! I have to get The Moonlighters over for next years "Canal Street Jazz and Blues Festival" here in Norway. You'll be a hit!

| Great to hear, Mike. I heard a horror story from a friend's gig last week so it's good to hear the opposite. Your playing swings, man! |

Bouquets from the audience, Mike, and the internet counterpart of a telegram.
Hope I get to hear it sometime.

Maika'i no!
Pardon me for thinking like a Hawaiian singer, but I have to ask...is the song really about frankfurter sandwiches? |

FRANKFURTER SANDWICHES
Every night he brings me
Frankfurter sandwiches
Frankfurter sandwiches
Ah his baby loves those
Frankfurter sandwiches
Frankfurter sandwiches
He tried to win me with flowers
All kinds of sweetness
`Til he found out his baby's weakness
Every night I whisper
Thanks for the sandwiches
Thanks for the sandwiches
But he feels there's something wrong
Instead of me billing and cooing
All I keep doing is chewing
Frankfurter sandwiches
Frankfurter sandwiches
All night long
Since the world began
The girl expects the man
To bring her tokens of his love
Some bring bags of gold
Their lady loves to hold
And jewels bright as stars above
But it seems my ideals are much higher
So here's how people bills by heart desire
furter sandwiches, furter sandwiches
furter sandwiches, furter sandwiches
I really don't care for candy
Ice cream and custard
But how I love hot dogs with mustard
Every night I whisper
Thanks for the sandwiches
Thanks for the sandwiches
But he feel's there's something wrong
Each time he starts poppin the question
I'm too busy digestin'
Furter sandwiches, furter sandwiches
All night ….
Frankfurter sandwiches all night long
