One of my favorite lines/stories by the great lyricist Ellen Fitzhugh, who wrote the wonderful "Herringbone" with Tom cone and Skip and the beautiful "Los Otros" with Michael john LaChiusa, and I've talked about teh joy of "Paper Moon" which she wrote with Larry Grossman at the Walnut:
She and Larry Grossmanwere writing additional material for a musical for Anthony Newley, and at one point were being asked to do something in the style of Newley and Bricusse, and Ellen - always great with a quip - had a great line which apparently got everybody laughing: Well, Larry and i can't really just write "What Kind of Fool Can i Turn To"
(BTW, HERRINGBONE CD should be out in the next few months. B.D. Wong emailed Skip, says the mastering was delayed due to unexpected work and everyone's volunteering their time, but should be soon.)
