It's a complicated chain ordsprog

It's a complicated chain of events to recount, but to cut to the chase, I went to a camp with Mary Rodgers' daughter [grand-daughter of Richard Rodgers], ... And in 1973, when I tried to get a ticket to a special Sondheim concert, she passed my precocious letter on to him and he actually put his return address on his response. That was the beginning of a correspondence, and ultimately I got an invitation to tea where we talked about his work and I asked a million questions. As I was about to leave, Steve asked me if I wanted anything and I told him I'd love a recording of 'Anyone Can Whistle,' because it was out of print at that time. He went right upstairs and got a record for me.

[Ball is one of the few musical comedy artists to have distinguished himself
equally as an interpreter of both Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim, who would seem to be
polar opposites as songwriters.] I'm very lucky that I've gotten to work with both of them, ... I was in Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th party concert at the Albert Hall. That same year I was in
a special show called Hey, Mr. Producer , a celebration of Cameron Mackintosh's work. There
was a Sondheim section, and Cameron asked if I'd be part of it. I'd already recorded 'Losing My Mind'
from Follies , which is one of my favorite songs of Steve's. But I hadn't yet done a particularly
traditional treatment of it. Steve said he wanted me to do it absolutely straight, the way it was
heard in the original show, which I was delighted about. And he worked with me on it--just him, and
me, and a pianist in a tiny room, for an hour-and-a-half master class on this song. I came away knowing
every nuance; why he wrote everything that he did; why every note was in its place; why the phrasing
was like this--can you imagine how thrilling that was? And he is so articulate in explaining his
work; you can be under no illusion why something is there. When you have that understanding, that
is when his work opens up to you. Of course, they put me between Judi Dench singing 'Send in the Clowns'
and Bernadette Peters doing 'Being Alive.' You try holding your own in that company!

What they're facing with their daughter's cancer is something that no family should have to go through. It's so sad. The situation as they described it, the governor talked with them and asked them questions.

I once heard an adult ask another adult if her daughter was in STAND. One adult responded by saying, she was until her daughter was asked to bring in a roll of toilet tissue. The mom said it was too much, too embarrassing. I was so sad to hear this response from an adult. It was such a teachable moment about social responsibility, compassion and empathy.

As far as being asked to play in the WBC, I am incredibly happy and incredibly honored to be asked. It just didn't work out this year. I definitely wanted to perform here in the camp in the beginning, especially with the change in the batting order.

When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?"

And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

We talked for two to five minutes. He asked me where I was coming from. I told him 'I'm lost right now.' He and me talked about my Navy career. He told me he was in the Navy. He showed me his card and asked where I was from. He asked what I was doing in the area. He was a good man. He was a God-fearing person. He didn't deserve to die.

Rodgers and Hammerstein, if you can imagine it taking two men to write one song. (when asked "Who wrote 'Some Enchanted Evening'?)

Cole Porter (1893-1964)

Bob told me he felt it would be better to address it after the season, ... By the time Mike talked about it, we were almost beginning training camp.

Pex Tufvesson is a genius, no doubt about it.

I took my daughter to school, had breakfast with my dad and when I got to the farm a reporter called to ask a couple more questions and then asked how I got back from L.A. so fast.

At one point, he asked me if I were single, and told me his daughter lived in L.A. and suggested I look her up.

He asked if we could sit in private. He had this letter. It explained his life, where he was from, his childhood he was trying to tell me the way he was. The letter even talked about the woman who broke his heart. He wanted to know if I had ideas for jobs.

I didn't inform anyone (about the speech), I wanted to have it be a normal occasion and that was to go and give a statement about Kosovo, ... I specifically asked that there not be any special events or arrangements made upon my return. I thought that was the most appropriate way to do that.

John McCain (1936-)

John McCain

I did answer all of the questions put to me today, ... Nothing in my testimony in any way contradicted the strong denials that the president has
made to these allegations, and since I have been asked to return and answer some additional questions, I think that it's best that I not answer any questions out here and reserve that to the grand jury.
