...album's other high points come with "If You Can Touch Her At All," a meditative sad song, and "Don't Cuss the Fiddle," which leads into an impromptu chorus of "Goodhearted Woman." But perhaps most engaging is "The Wurlitzer Prize (I Don't Want to Get Over You)" the quintessential country song about putting quarters in the same Wurlitzer every night, playing the old songs and thinking about a woman. And even Waylon's death wish, which came through on the uneven Luchenbach album when he recorded "Sweet Caroline" and sometimes makes you think he wants...

...though my opinions on such matters should matter little to you, I felt that the costumes, designed by Lindsay Davis '75 and Alison Taylor, were very impressive, glittery and colorful. The dance numbers (in the first act, at least) lacked a certain pizzazz (although the '50s-style "T.V.
