About This Song
About "The Boys from Syracuse: Oh, Diogenes" by Bibi Osterwald
A lantern-lit waltz through ancient Greece, 'Oh, Diogenes' finds Osterwald mining philosophy for punchlines. The tune's jaunty brass and her wry delivery turn a cynic's search for an honest man into a vaudeville sketchβlight as a feather, but with a sly, questioning glint in its eye.
