I decided to re-release an episode that originally came out on January 29th, 2018, our 6th episode, with my dear friend, David Holcenberg. Today calls for an encore performance, 4 1/2 years after its original release. You see, David is nominated for a Tony Award for Best Orchestrations and Arrangements for MJ The Musical. With the Tony Awards this Sunday June 12th, we wanted to celebrate Dave and encourage you to get to know this hard-working, talented man who we are so very proud of. Dave graciously invited Paul and me to the Opening Night of MJ The Musical - it was MAGICAL! Despite my own hesitancy to see a show that might glorify Michael Jackson, I was blown away and deeply moved by the entire production. Jackson was portrayed accurately as both troubled and a genius, more flawed and nuanced than any one- dimensional character. The music was phenomenal and I have never seen better dancing on a Broadway stage. I even went to see this spectacular show a second time and no doubt will go again. We had dinner with David recently and he spoke so sincerely about the honor of being Tony-nominated. He felt deeply touched by the outpouring of well wishes and congratulatory notes he has already received from so many people, that he is savoring all the loving support, right here, right now. Even if you heard my conversation with Dave back in 2018, listen again. And by all means, join me in cheering for David Holcenberg at the Tony's. Enjoy the podcast!
