She's engaging, positive, funny, giggly, full of stories. Nice enough to call me by name. Turned on the enthusiasm.<br />Always a bit unnerving to hear a distinctive voice coming out of your own office phone. Preview to be published Oct. 14, the day before she appears here.<br />The goal with celebs is always to get them off-script. When she started the boilerplate on her new album, Confessions, I got her steered into brief stories touching on her mom, Oscar Levant, Charles Aznavour, and the Chairman of the Board. <br />I think I'm gonna lede with Aug. 26, 1967 at the Palace. Just as I hung up -- 10 mins. on the dot -- I regretted not asking just one or two more questions about that night. (She was there.)<br />She would have answered it, because Liza ... she liked me, she really liked me.<br />I _did_ in my juvenile fashion, ask her to change the lyrics to "Spokane, Spokane' -- and she had an interesting riposte. We also talked about fame, and her ability to laugh at herself, where that came from.Bobo the Theater Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543482882758983557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15527783.post-65552596488372480722010-09-07T13:58:09.024-07:002010-09-07T13:58:09.024-07:00So what was the interview like?So what was the interview like?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15527783.post-14699157400088449092010-09-02T20:28:59.540-07:002010-09-02T20:28:59.540-07:00The last one made me laugh out loud.

I would ask Liza to talk about what performing means to her and whether or not she still gets as much joy from it as she did when she was younger - and what is her secret for calling up the energy to perform live.Jeannoreply@blogger.com
