> Ken Bloom, the director of the show, is also the author of "The American Songbook," a wonderful coffee table sized book that details the lives and careers of just about all of the major and mid-major Tin Pan Alley songsmiths, singers, and performers. Feinstein wrote the foreword but it obviously has his mark. I've met Feinstein on several occasions, and he is as congenial and approachable as he is modest about his talents. Instead of a singer who collects, I think he's more of a collector who happens to sing. A good guy to have on our side.

Get Ready for the holidays. Bloom is updating the American Songbook as well a new similar book on Show Songs. BOTH coming from B;ack Dog/Levanmthal. Anxiously awaiting my copies.
