A Little Disturbing, A Little Unnerving: Postmodern Lounge
THE black-clad brunette on the tiny bandstand beams invitingly at her black-clad audience. Heres a little ditty about bondage, she coos, sounding for all the world like a soccer mom offering milk and cookies to the kids on the block. The band strikes up a catchy major-key tune over a smooth walking bass, and Kelly Flint starts singing in a warm, appealing voice reminiscent of the girl-next-door pop canaries of the 50s. If you couldnt quite make out the lyrics, you might think she was doing a number from an Eisenhower-era musical. But every word comes through with hair-raising clarity: After I learned to trust him/ And gave him my heart to keep/ You went ahead and trussed him/ Now he sings Rigoletto/ Under a black stiletto. What is wrong with this picture? Just about everything. The cleverly kinky lyric doesnt go with the cheery melody; Ms. Flints engaging voice doesnt go with the grungy, down-at-the-heel club in which she is performing. And whos the bespectacled, nervous-looking guitarist lurking at the rear of the bandstand, gazing up, down, off to the side, anywhere but out at the crowd? David Cantor is his name, and he writes the songs Ms. Flint sings, most of which are about sex, some of which are about violence and all of which sound like old-fashioned standards, so long as you dont listen to the words too closely.. Terry Teachout interviews singer Kelly Flint of Daves True Story, musical collaboration with songwriter-guitarist David Cantor that he says is weirdest and most wonderful lounge act in New York; photo (M)

Inhabiting One Brother, Honoring Another
THE first time most people noticed Bruce Willis, he was wearing a sexy grin and making wisecracks in Cybill Shepherds direction. It was 1985 and ABCs Moonlighting made him an instant star in the role of David Addison, a laid-back private eye with old-fashioned notions about flirting. But Mr. Williss first big break had come the year before. He had been in New York for seven years, tending bar, seeking out stage roles and working as an extra when he was cast in the Off Broadway production of Fool for Love, Sam Shepards play about love and power struggles at a cheap motel. Tomorrow night he steps into a Shepard characters shoes again, this time in front of a national audience in Showtimes presentation of True West. The play, taped onstage at the Liberty Theater in Hailey, Idaho, is a return engagement with several layers of personal meaning..

To the Editor: I very much appreciated Terry Teachouts informative and insightful article about Daves True Story [A Little Disturbing, A Little Unnerving: Postmodern Lounge, April 30].
