Good morning, all! Thank you for the vibes so far this past evening and this morning! We could really use them, so keep them coming! This recording isnot easy, and I really thought that it would be.
I won't see Rob Berman today since he's not making the trek with me; after hearing Act One and making some comments, he'd be bored to death while Judy and I fight over every change I ask for. There are a lot of tracks, including the appendix, for Act Two. We actually have a wonderful working relationship, and I've loved her to death for thirty years, but when divas collide . . .
I don't know how long we will go today, but I'm guessing we will work as long as we can to see how far we get. We most likely will not finish this one until the middle of June. Still, I think we will give Mr Kern's fans something very nice to remember him by. For those who know the film of ROBERTA - and I love Astaire and Rogers - it may be bit of a surprise. So, I'll leave here about 8:30 or so, bus to 96th Street, stop at the deli and get a sandwich, and then get on the subway. We're going to begin at 10 this morning.
