When I Was 23 I Started Writing

So It Became In My Mind A Nine-carol Service; An Oratorio And Orchestral Concert All In One, But With Narration. That's Something I've Learned About, Because It's The Story That Keeps You In There. I Wrote A Libretto And I Gave It To John Du Prez. We Normally Don't Work In This Fashion But I Said Off You Go, And He Went Off For About Three Months. He Brought Me Back This Demo Which Blew My Mind.

I Never Think In Terms Of Target Audience. I Try To Write What Makes Me Laugh, So I'm The Target Audience. I Guess I Just Hope There's Another Person In America Like Me.

We Learnt A Lot Because We Got In With Real Choreographers Who Tell You What They Need From A Song, Because A Song Has To Advance The Story. Then Real Directors Like Mike Nichols Tell You Where You Can Have 'b Themes' And 'c Themes', And We Go Oh Yes, B Themes And C Themes! So We Were Taught In The Finest School Amongst The Finest People. And Also By The School Of Experience.
