I'm currently listening to this wonderful CD, recorded live at Joe's Pub four years ago. I was actually in the audience. Is anyone else a fan of this recording? My favorite: Mary Testa doing "All Fall Down".

I LOVE THIS CD! It's one of my most-played. I'm jealous you were actually there. What an amazing concert.

I love the entire thing, but standouts for me are "Anytime", "I Have Found", and "The Baseball Game". Stephen DeRosa kills me.

Oh, DeRosa doing "The Baseball Game" was brilliant. I was mad that Mary didn't do my favorite Finn song, "I Am Wearing A Hat", from IN TROUSERS.

I need to listen to In Trousers. I know it's sad that I love Finn and haven't heard it yet. I love "Set Those Sails" from the concert, though. Yay for Mary.

Is it true that they also did "The Ballad of Jack Eric Williams (And Other Three-Named Composers)"?

If memory serves me, yes. I wonder why that wasn't put on the album...
