Sondheim Wishes He Wrote...
"Buds Won't Bud" from "Hooray For What!"
Back in early 2000, on the occasion of Sondheim's 70th birthday the NY Times published a fantastic Frank Rich interview with him, where he listed the great songs he wished he had written.
I remember the article of course. And I think Bernadette Peters or Barbara Cook even created a concert around Sondheim and the songs he wished he had written...derived from this interview. (I'm having a memory lapse and can't remember which great Broadway diva did that.)
But thanks to Google, all these years later, I've discovered the article anew, and discovered that a song from "Hooray For What!" is on it!
Check it out.
