Good evening.

“I play great music. People like the music I play. But it’s funny because my father would not have thought about music for me. But I do. I think I have an ear for music. They play a note, like on the piano, and then I remember it to this day. And then they’d ask you other questions, and then they’d play notes later on, and they’d say, ‘Which is the note we played from one hour ago?’ And I’d, like, get it right, I guess.”

I interviewed Charles Strouse a couple of times and I have an autographed photo of him hanging up at home. He was a gentle man, very unassuming except about his ability to compose. He trusted his musical talents.

He mentioned to me that he was having to write for Burt Reynolds to sing in All Dogs Go to Heaven. But he didn’t know if Reynolds had a voice. I gave him my copy of Burt’s solo album, which Bobby Goldsboro produced.

That's pretty darned cool, John!

It seems Wordle was difficult and a good number of people didn't get it.



Glad to hear that, DR Jane, since I was one of those people who didn't get Wordle today!

Oh, no! :(

Sorry to hear about Charles Strouse - a wonderful fellow. Boy, did I record a lot of his songs - and we've done many in our Kritzerland shows. I'll put some in the notes.

He was one of the first B'way heroes of mine I met - him, Mr. Coleman, Mr. Schmidt, and Mr. Kander - who all contributed pieces for Classical Broadway. Only Mr. Kander is still with us now.

I was so blessed to start producing albums when I did - most of the composers we did were alive then - Cy, Kander and Ebb, Sondheim, Strouse, Schmidt and Jones, Hamlisch, Claire Richardson, etc. But the up-and-comers are thankfully still with us - Flaherty and Ahrens, Lippa, Doug Cohen, our own Skip and Freddie, and a bunch whose names I can't recall at the moment - all those off-B'way folks whose shows I did.

And ironically, I'd just watched Michelle Nicastro singing Disneyland at our Unsung Musicals concert back in 1994 and I just burst out weeping - losing her at fifty, losing Rebecca Luker, and Laurie Beechman, losing Dorothy Loudon - all people I loved dearly. And then the truly hard ones for me - Cindy W. and Richard Sherman.

When we did that little Nick Redman documentary on Nudie on the 2002 DVD, most of the cast was still alive - I think the only three people who'd passed were two of the actors who played the backers, and Kathy Hietala, who played Eunice. But now, all the backers are gone, my dear Alan Abelew is gone, Cindy's gone, all the producers are gone.
