Mentioned this elsewhere, got to see a bit of Richard Thompson on the Joan Baez Tribute on PBS, nice to see him in a (limited) role, mostly acoustic lead, got to sing part of 1 song.

Interesting tidbit about Bob Balaban, UM.

I know Bob Balaban's doorman
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:28pm Parq:

Was just reading up on the original off-BW production (at Theater 80, later a revival movie house and now again an off-BW legit theater). Joe Raposo worked on it also, as musical director. Although he didn't write any of the songs, it seems to me that they strongly bear his personality. Probably his own work was influenced by his working on that show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:31pm Charlie:

Hi Parq! I actually saw that production at Theater 80 St Marks when I was a kid! It made a huge impact on me. Then, when I was in high school, I went to a lot of revival films there. Also the Thalia uptown.
Avatar ♥ 1:33pm Roberto:

I saw Bob Balaban at a Chase ATM one time.
