One of Mickey Katz's last albums was the recording of his traveling show
"Hello Solly".  He might have done something with Joel concerning
Caberet, they did do some performing together.  And that book "Papa Play
For Me" is wonderful.  

Katz supplies the glugs in Spike's "Cocktails For Two", and also for
Pinto Colvig's Bozo record "Filbert the Frog", one of the greatest
records of all time.  It's not quite the same as "One Froggy Evening"
but might have led to it.
