And this is the song that started it all. In early 2014 I performed this song as the closing number of the Queermance Queerbaret, in place of a final closing festival speech. Basically it was a surprise musical number and ROCS and I had plans to film it...and then our camera ran out of memory 15 minutes before we performed. Yep. Not battery. Memory.

So we decided we wanted to do it again. "You know, we should do a Cabaret," I said with a grin.
"Okay," Geordie said. "Let's do it."

Actually, I'd sort of been joking. Sort of. But then we talked some more and it eventually grew into this. So when we programmed Get Your ROCS Off, we put this song first to ensure we'd be able to get it on camera. Now we just need a better camera and an idea of how to use it and we'll be all set for next time, right?
