Steve Paul and Gregory Dawson put together a cabaret revue at the Rainbow and Stars in 1991.  Somehow, I ended up hosting it — with my inimitable dummy, Eddie Gray, who received separate billing.

There were many variety/performance/music series in downtown Manhattan in the ’90s.  This one was hosted by that excellent cartoonist, R. Sikoryak.  I sang my songs, with Carol Benner playing obbligati on the viola; we were bracketed with that excellent writer, David Sedaris.

Viola and organ is a particularly dense and doleful combination; here they go through quite a lot together.

The second string quartet consists of four rounds: two that were originally vocal, and two that weren’t. Bass lines and other niceties are sometimes added.

There have been a few articles over the years that rang changes on this headline; this one is from Metro Magazine, in 1988.

I’ve written a number of drone pieces for organ; this is one of them (that is, the beginning of one of them).

The Regard of Flight appeared at the Great Lakes Festival in Cleveland in 1987.  It was a busy year for that show.

I’ve written several rounds on the verses of Robert Herrick.  They seem quite suited for that.  Here’s one of them.
