Robert Yacko called and said he found his true footing tonight and the audience really loved it and he finally had fun rather than worrying about things. That was basically what all of last night's notes were about - how to energize the beginning of each new patter section - but the note that did the trick was the one about the act being like a first date. That really hit home with him and made all the difference. Alby also e-mailed me to tell me it finally went exactly as it should - very few fumfers, lots o' laughs. Lucie Arnaz was in attendance, too, and said she loved it.
