Good morning, all! Good news about the show, BK!
I met Lainie Kazan when she, Bette Midler, Lypsinka, Patti Lupone, and Elaine Stritch did an Ethel Merman night staged by Jerry Mitchell for the Gay Men's Health Crisis. I scored the overture and "You're Just In Love" for Stritch and the Plaids. I liked Miss Kazan quite a lot. I haven't seen her since then, so I'm glad she's still around.
In about rwenty minutes I'm walking to the Post Office to mail these two vocal scores for DEAREST ENEMY, at 10:00 I have a telephonic conversation with one of my DEARST ENEMY boys about the horrendous vocal arrangement for "Cheerio!" ad then I will call conductor John Wilson, who's in New York this week, to see if we can plan a coffee date. Then I will call the pharmacy for more meds, and that's hopefully the extent of myv telephonic conversations for a while.
Tonight I'm having dinner with my friend Joseph Rubin, so I need to start proofreading Victor Herbert's "The Only Girl" to appease him, since DEAREST ENEMY has prevented me from beginning work on it with him.
