London - continued

This trip to London more pleasurable than last (this trip being with Marvin Hamlisch)

Staying at one of last privately owned and run hotels in London The Goring.

Visited Michael at the Dress Circle a Theatre/ Music Shop on Monmouth Street.

Wonderful dinner at Wolsley with Steven and Rocky Gotlieb Steven is a retired music publisher for Schirmer - Rocky is in Real Estate.

Lots of time to walk the parks and such

Four performances with Marvin Hamlisch at Pizza Express Jazz club on Dean Street
The first two went very well. Very warm audiences and well recieved. Marvin was his exceptional witty self. Maria Friedman has a uniquely beautiful voice and wonderful control

All prayers are welcome as I prepare to audition once again for JVJ in Les Mis on Wednesday 8/12 at 4:15 PM London time 5 hours ahead of East Coast time
I miss performing this role and delivering this compassionate message of hope and redemption

Trouble posting from London so my assistant Barb is helping out.
Back to you soon!
