Dear BK, I would like it very much if you could plan a cabaret night for early-mid November.
Just off the phone, and something I've been thinking about for the last three months is now going to happen, beginning in two months. One night a month at the Gardenia will now be a Kritzerland night. If we catch on, it could go to two nights a month. My idea was to present great themed evenings with four or five singers doing the honors - starting with a Lost in Boston evening, then an Unsung Musicals evening, then maybe Peter Pan - you know, all based on the albums I've done - themed albums and songwriter albums - all of it. I'm really excited about this. It would either be the first Monday, Wednesday or Thursday of each month. I've been to so many of these "cabaret" things with multiple singers and there's just never any thought to them and they're all sort of casual and thrown together - I think those who know me know I won't be doing that sort of evening. These will be rehearsed and fun, and I may end up doing a running commentary occasionally for things like Lost in Boston - not sure about that part yet. Each show would run around seventy-five minutes.
Shake and Bake for chicken....and I helped!

Lavender Blue, dilly dilly.
Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts for my sister. One year ago, she was undergoing chemo.

BJ, how about a program with either Lost in Boston or Unsung Musicals if you have any of the original cast in your group? I love the recording of "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" from "Merlin" you did of Michelle Nicastro, for example.

I love the recording of "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" from "Merlin" you did of Michelle Nicastro, for example. If any of the original singers are here, I will invite them to do their song - BUT - I don't want these to end up being one of these fifteen singer deals, so they'll always have to be willing to do at least three songs, because I never want more than six singers.
