And for an added bit of interest...that disc was produced by none other
than Michael Feinstein...former secretary of Ira Gershwin and now very
well known and superb vocalist (I really think he is terrific) and
member of ARSC. And, on a related thread, many years ago Michael dubbed
for me several tapes he had made from lacquers of performances of Oscar's
music...tapes which suffer from squeal, and when baked, flaked! I did
manage to make fair sounding dubs.
