FJL - to me it's odd that he quotes the Alan Chapman Everybody Wants to be Sondheim song, the most known recording of which is by Guy Haines.

Good evening, all.

Am I really the only DR to take MR BK up on his invitation to observe the recording session?  I spent five -- count'em -- five hours there today, and here's what I can tell you:  this is already an album I want to put on repeat play.  Lanny's arrangements are wonderful and the 20-piece orchestra blew me away.  Or maybe the orchestra was wonderful and Lanny's arrangements blew me away.  One of those.  I also happen to think the East Coast Singer is sounding luscious on these songs.

It was especially gratifying to walk in as they were doing BK's own number, because it's a beaut.

Many thanks to BK for the invite.  I took a few snapshots on my phone and will pull them off later and post them here.  If I'd known picture taking was de rigeur at these things (or so it seemed to be today), I would have brought my very decent but unobtrusive REAL camera and gotten a few things worth enjoying.  Next time!

I'm working too hard to get any work done. I hate Mondays like this.

My afternoon was like that.  I just couldn't get anything done

Time for bed.  I have a long day tomorrow.  Night.

TOD:


One of the two best trips that I ever took was when my sister, my niece and I went to London.  It was shortly after 9/11, also...we went in December, 2001.  We saw Starlight Express (before it closed in January 2002); Kiss Me Kate with Brent Barrett and Marin Mazzie; and the first two acts of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Brendan Fraser, Frances O'Connor and Ned Beatty.
