    i reckon it was sinatra who established the song worldwide as we don’t have any other frame of reference, i’ve never seen that dinero/scorcese film & i thought i’d seen all of them? obviously it was liza’s appearance that put me off, as a singer myself i reckon she never held a candle to her mother’s voice & i’m a friend of dorothy’s.

    New York is so expensive it’s lost much of it’s character except for yuppies and some lingering seniors found at museums.

    John Kander!!!!!! I listened to Cabaret when i was a kid and never thought after all these years that i’d actually see him on TV 53 years later. What a composer!!! He’s given us so many great tunes!! Thank you, John!!!!

    I would disagree with Kander on only one point: Enemies live here too but, like New York, we agree to disagree and just get on with it
