Also, here's the best news - Kate's first solo album, Songs of Lane & Harburg - Let's See What Happens on the PS Classics label will be released on October 20th, around which time Kate tells she'll be doing an appearance and signing. She also says she has a really exciting gig coming in December. The music direction is by Rob Berman and Tommy Krasker is the Executive Producer. Jonathan Tunick and the Broadway Moonlighters also make an appearance! The song list, provided exclusively to yours truly from Miss B. herself, is quite thrilling (and I know my friend Kevin will love the first track):
