O. Box 2127, New York, NY 10009 THANKS Thanks, to the musicians who joined me on this recording — and to our bandleader, Alex Rybeck. A series of strategic partnerships — representing an 80-year span of musical imagination — birthed the songs to which we danced for this project. The Classic American Popular Song has no greater friends than the Mabel Mercer Foundation (www.MabelMercer.org) and its executive director, Donald Smith: they are vital stewards of one of the Liveliest Arts the United States has ever given to the world. Change Partners was presented at the Algonquin Hotel's Oak Room capping the Foundation's 2003 Cavalcade of Cabaret. Frank and Mary threw a party chez Skillern for the first public performance of Change Partners. No more music-loving hosts have ever graced the Upper East Side: they literally gave the shirts and ties off their backs and lent their stately home for the CD photography. Thanks, to Frank Piazza (President of Audio Paint) for the Space and to Lansing McVickar for the Sound (& for Penny Poochini). Thanks, to Stewart Nicholls for introducing me to Robert and Elizabeth. To my gifted teachers Jeff Harnar, Heather Mac Rae, Andrea Marcovicci, Mark Nadler, Steve Ross & KT Sullivan: I am in your debt. Thanks, always, to great partners: Simple Mae, Julie Clark, Avelyn & Emerlee, Jennifer & Paul, Mary & Bill, Judith & Frank, Barbara & Ralph.  |
