Good morning, all! I've heard from most of my London friends by now, and I'm hoping the others are on holiday. Strangely, I had no word from my friend Mr Raines last night so I'm still a bit worried about Charlotte.
Today's another DARLING OF THE DAY session: I've got several songs as options, and I need to think about Funeral Music in the first act and an Entr'Acte as well.
BK, I agree with you about Sondheim; I'm fond of the man and a I love a lot of his music, but I'm tired of the cult and its insistance that even his second-rate shows are pieces of gold spun by Rumplestiltskin. Other writers and better shows are getting lost in the shuffle, and I find that sad. Anyway, have a good time tonight. I know they're playing one of my charts, so I'm curious as to what the other chart was they asked you to borrow.
