  • Not to be confused with the television talk show of the same name. Just Josh is a romantic musical comedy featuring just the music and lyrics of Josh Woodward, and none other. Indeed, thirteen songs from one alubm, "Sunny side of the street" are in the story. His extra-ordinary vision and generosity in making the songs available is legendary. Not only that, but there are instrumental backing tracks under the same creative commons 3.0 attribution only license at www.joshwoodward.com. His career is an incredible one and this writing is a tribute and a dedication to that incredible man and wonderful musician. To "Josh" means to fool around, and this light-hearted sense is also deliberate. The play is intended for community theatre and educational institutions to perform publicly with vocal covers to accompany the instrumentals. A traditional one act play has a duration about twenty minutes. The songs provide about half an hour of music, so the intention of my incidental writing is to provide enough filling to make up another act. A two act musical is unusual, but this structure allows later lengthening (CC-BY writing being a very flexible art). The lead role is strictly fictional and I have used the name 'Josh' for the purpose of continuity with the title only. Some element of the story readers may find confronting. Obviously I am not writing for commercial gain so I am not bound by the same constraints as other theatre hacks. A fifth of Americans live in poverty, a fact which is reflected in Josh and Joe's circumstances. I hope to show how oppressive copyright law can be when mis-used for unscrupulous purposes. It has been tempting to place an apologist stance behind the irreverent outlook found in the lyrics, but this is off-set by the ethics of his music, a shining example of humanistic tolerance. Writing around existing songs has been a welcome challenge. Baba ganoush is redundant to the story and the lyrics are not suitable for minors in educational purposes. Josh has so many tracks, I confined writing to a small sample. With big production theatre numbers in mind, I selected only the most ebullient album. Also tempting was the option to change the words, eg. to remove Americanisms to broaden the appeal to an international audience, but I wanted to use the original lyrics, so that listeners need make no adjustment to the songs they find on his website. I wanted more opportunity for female characters to sing, but the songs on this album are gender specific.License Please give credit in this way.
