> Accomplished pianist Dave Frishberg has played with many jazz greats and
> shown off his songwriting talents in such nifty ditties as "Peel Me a
Grape"
> and "My Attorney Bernie." But he doubtless reached countless more ears
with
> "I'm Just a Bill," which he penned to amusingly yet accurately explain the
> law-making process for ABC-TV's music-driven educational children's
cartoon,
> "Schoolhouse Rock."
> 
> Jack Sheldon sang "I'm Just a Bill" in the toon's 1975 debut. It would be
> fun to hear Frishberg's take (please sing it!) when he performs at 8 p.m.
> Saturday at the Folly Theater, 300 W. 12th. Frishberg, who's got plenty of
> stories to tell, will also give a pre-concert talk at 7 p.m. Tickets cost
> $15 to $30; go to follytheater.com.
