…a label owned by another eccentric and opinionated preserver of musical theatre music (and film music), Bruce Kimmel, to whom we owe fantastic remastered CD issues of the OBCRs of Follies and Promises, Promises, and of the Casino Royale soundtrack!

By the end of the interview, his mother’s haughty comments about entertainers made me understand where he got his own acerbic opinions of black and gay and so on people up in the opening paragraph. We’re the last to realize when we’re perpetuating our parents foibles.

Two names I never expected to see in close proximity: Don Shewey and Ben Bagley. I was a big fan of his records and his liner notes. Thanks for sharing this, Don!
