Oh I see now.  I had interpreted it totally differently.  I thought it was about the holocaust and the little girl was a relative or neighbor to the man and she had been killed.  I guess that's the great thing about art, it can evoke different emotions and meanings depending on a person's experiences or history.

Ew, really?  Wow--I don't know much about him or his preferences...how disturbing.

I'm stumped--have you listened to Sondheim's "I Remember" (Sky)  If you read between the lines it could be about the things you mention, though it never says the word November.  I'm going to think on this more...  And I want to follow this thread in case someone solves this case

Even so, I'm glad to have been introduced to that Randy Newman song.  Sometimes chat board mistakes are beautiful. :)

What a wonderful idea!  He was such a talent, and it would be so meaningful to create a lasting fund to support more up and coming artists.  Please share on social media if you can!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he toured with Grease after he did it on Broadway in 2008.  He toured a few years before--before the reality show. 

It's just so sad that he is gone.  He was so vibrant, and talented, and so young.  I wonder why playbill hasn't covered his death at all.
