Craig:

How long have you known Rob? How did you two meet? How did you come up with the idea for BWW?

Thanks.

What kind of jazz do you enjoy, Craig? Instrumental vs. vocals? Old skool?

Oh.. depends on my mood. Sometimes I enjoy the trios just playing instrumental, other times I like the more funky and contemporary sound. I'm also partial to the big band jazz sound with the likes of Basie, Miller, etc. Also HUGE fan of Bourban Street and the Jazzfest in New Orleans. Only been twice, but plan on going many more years in the future. I also love listening to vocalists who trust the material. Love when they make it their own, but I don't care for what I call "vocal masturbation" - which is why I find it difficult to watch American Idol.

"How long have you known Rob? How did you two meet? How did you come up with the idea for BWW? "

I've known Rob for roughly three years. We met online as per the story posted earlier. Rob had already launched BroadwayWorld.com at that time - but it was still very much in its infancy. That first year saw TREMENDOUS growth - not only in site features, content and exposure - but also readership!

"Who is your favorite contestant of Bww Idol?"

Oh. Well I'll have to listen this weekend, won't I. To be honest, I think the concept and execution has been great - but I haven't had enough time to check it out. I'll do that this weekend though.

What do you find most rewarding about life?
Love and Success in all forms. It can be a baby's first step or a friend finishing a marathon to someone beating cancer or rising up against other diversity. There's not one thing I find most rewarding per se - I think the most rewarding thing about life would have to be living. As corny as that sounds.

And about working on this site? Depends on the day LOL.. For the same reason so many of my friends who are performers enjoy the experience they gift to their audience, I would say that the site holds the same for me. Knowing that thousands and thousands of people come here for whatever reason and get something out of it. Can you really ask for something more rewarding than that?

you are ALL my children...

But in reality - no.. no children as of yet.

Craig - if someone had only a day to spend in New York City what would you tell them them to do or see and why?

Let's make it hard (just because). Pretend it was someone from the rural midwest and he had never been to NYC before. He has 24 hours to see the sights.

I just might take tour tomorrow. Looks fun.

Thanks for all your work Craig!

If you were any building in the world, what building would you be and why?

Ummm.. in the world? Gosh that's a toughie! I think the colloseum. I've often been told I have an old soul and there's so much history and lore there.


If you could have anyone over for dinner, living or dead, who would it be and what would you serve them? I feel I'm repeating myself (sorry for that) - but it would be anyone or all from my list of people I would want to interview. And for a meal - well why not make my perfect meal (from mussels to sundae!)

I am having fun. Although I will agree with all those that came before me - it's also a lot of work (and thinking.. ouch! lol) but keep the questions coming!

Craig- If you could take any two BWWers on vacation with you who would it be and where would you go?
