AFTER having finished last night's late night notes; BEFORE perusing today's notes; I shall post this little missive (sans editing, of course - 'cos if BK is your Auntie Mame, that might just make me Vera Charles) regarding today's TOD:
Jason Graae, without a doubt! Love the voice, the humor, the selections which he was given.
Liz Larsen - not a lot there on the compilations, but, what is there is cherce, from dittie from THE VAMP to the cut song from ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, she has a special place in my heart.
Yvette Lawrence - well, I got to see her onstage BEFORE BK had released a compilation with her voice on it, but, I got to meet her the week that A BROADWAY CHRISTMAS was released.
Karen Morrow, Elaine Stritch and Lauren Bacall - let's just call them "the Legends" and be done with it.
Debbie Shapiro, of course! First heard her on a PBS special, belting Frank Loesser's "Junkman," and it's been love ever since; now, if I could only meet her!
Michelle Nicastro, whom I find charming on each and every one of her releases for BK; as a matter of fact, when I spoke on the phone (so very long ago) for a few moments with BK, Michelle's ears should've been burning.
TWMHM - but, how many compilations is he on?
Michael Piontek - don't know why he hasn't been used more, but, his track on UNSUNG IRVING BERLIN is to die for!
Liz Callaway
and, of course GUY HAINES! and that guy on UNSUNG IRVING BERLIN who sings the c&w inspired, "Please Let Me Come Back to You."
and now:
