I tuned in to the Lopate show near the end of the segment with Barbara Cook. I knew who he was interviewing, but now that I am 89 years old I completely blocked on her name. Only by going to your web site did I get the name.
As always I appreciated Leonard who I have only the greatest respect for. I wish he had named his guest for me.
I can't believe this Barbara is 81!!!
She sounds so beautiful and lovely...
Woman half her age don't sound this lovely and vivacious. Maybe they don't make them like this anymore....
I grew up listening to the Broadway album of Music Man, had a huge crush or Robert Preston, and wanted to be Barbara Cook when I grew up. What a lovely, lovely voice!
