Hey! How are you??? I'm going to be in NY at the end of July- I would love for us all to get together again. I'll be with Diana Church- did you know her? We are staying at the Paramount in Midtown- maybe we can work something out :)
I just wanted to say hello! It seems so long ago that we were singing at the top of our lungs in your apartment. It was nice to always have somewhere to go at 2 in the morning! I don't think I had ever seen so many cigarette butts in one ashtray... Those were great times
Happy Birthday brother! Should we invite everyone over to your apartment and then make them listen to us sing our favorite Sondheim showtunes (we'll type up the lyrics for their added enjoyment)?
