I am very happy to be home after a long day, but I had an absolutley wonderful time with Rob. We discussed many fascinating topics from YANK! going to Broadway to Jerome Kern and the making of new musicals using scores form composers' catalogs - like WHITE CHRISTMAS (Berlin), NEVER GONNA DANCE (Kern), and the reading he did last wnter of ONLY WHEN I LAUGH (Gerswin). We also talked about opera, Frank Loesser, the Victor Herbert recordings in the fall, and friends at the NYPL and Library of Congress.
Now I'm ready for a nap.
