HARRY (the Sondheim fan): I've always fantasized that Joni and Stephen Sondheim are good friends -- since they're the best, both lyrically and muscially. I hope, at least, that they admire each other's work.
Didn't I read, a long time ago, that Joni did SEND IN THE CLOWNS as an encore in a concert? Just imagine what she could do with it. Wow. Joni's T'LOG version of FTR seems to be her LOSING MY MIND, doesn't it? ;-) And, with it's "penetrating" brass, TROUBLE CHILD could be her LADIES WHO LUNCH. The orchestration sure puts me in mind of Jonathon Tunick. MICHAEL in Toronto
