## Notes

A labor of love by all involved, _TomFoolery_ was a fun way to spend an evening, despite any minor quibbles. The songs are certainly fun to listen to, if starting to get a little bit stale here and there, but that's to be expected, given that cultural satire is necessarily attached to the time and place of its creation. And while this was certainly a low budget production, the five primary singer performers were uniformly excellent in their roles. Ting and Joanne even got pulled onto stage to enjoy some baby brother soup during _the Irish Ballad_ -- part of the peril one assumes when sitting in the front row! Highly recommended!
