HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Posted: 3/22/05 at 2:55am

to the greatest composer in musical theatre history! Thank you Mr. Sondheim, for giving people your music and lyrics to help express and delegate our emotions and desires. For 50 years you have been writing songs and words that anyone can relate to and digest- in ways that are truly immeasurable. This artform will never be same. I, for one am forever indebted to you.

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
