Dear Ken,
Well, you really did it! Your show proved to be as brilliant as you
suspected it was!
It was a great pleasure, indeed, an honor, to conduct the premiere of "Oh
Mr. Sousa!" I also enjoyed meeting you, watching you work, and learning
from your vast
experience with theatre. Please know that I will be telling all my professional
colleagues about your work. Let's hope your show sees MANY more performances
in the years to come, for "Oh Mr. Sousa!" is a fabulous contribution
to the genre of the musical
revue.
All for now, my friend. With many good wishes and the highest of regard,
Gary W. Hill, Professor of Music
