Band Introductions (Live at the Bon Soir, Greenwich Village, NYC - Nov. 5, 1962) Lyrics by Barbra Streisand

Live At The Bon Soir

2022

[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
I feel like saying I'll pick up all your checks, but I won't!
At this time, I would like to do a lot of things, but I can't
So, getting back to my program, I would like to introduce you to the gentlemen that helped me out on this pedestal that I work from
On my left, I believe it's your right, we have -
[AUDIENCE MEMBER, spoken]
Harold Mengert?
[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
No
As a matter of fact it's Arnie Fleischer
But he's had to change his name for professional reasons to The Colonel
'Colonel' Tiger Haynes
['COLONEL' TIGER HAYNES, spoken]
I tell you one thing, this is going to be a nutty LP, I beliеve that!
[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
Well, we'll see
In thе back but not really in the back, but strategically in the back, we have my friend, Averill
That's not the way you pronounce his name but I like it that way
Averill Pollard
Sitting down in the back on the left, right? Your left, is an Italian man
And you know everybody says, they say his name John Cresci
But I like it - how do you say John in Italian?
[JOHN CRESCI, spoken]
Huh?
[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
How do you say John in Italian?
[JOHN CRESCI, spoken]
Giovanni
[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
Giovanni!
Si, si, si
Giovanni Cresci!
The other person sitting down is my very dear friend and pianist, and it's contractual that I introduce him this way, with a British accent
Because he's from Britain and he's very dear and marvellous
And of course- that's terrible, Peter!
He came very highly recommended by the Queen
Didn't you Peter?
[PETER DANIELS, spoken]
Yes
['COLONEL' TIGER HAYNES, spoken]
No, Harry Johnson
[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
His name, of course, is Peter
Peter Daniels
