Always enjoy hearing from the anti-diva. You are always a delight. Thank you for your work for the California fire victims.

I saw the list of agencies displayed on Concert for America. When my mother was still alive, she suggested that we pick 2 Charities to contribute to for Christmas. It was typical of my mom. She may have enjoyed what we always called the "good life",but she never forgot the less fortunate. So we continue to make contributions to those various organizations, many of which are Seth's too.

Looking forward to seeing you perform in the not too distant future.

"99 Miles from L.A." is one of those beautiful, thoughtful songs. I do remember hearing you perform it at a 54 Below concert. Although Albert Hammond's version was a big adult contemporary hit, I think the version I remember most was from Art Garfunkel. We all pray for the people affected by the unprecedented and devastating L.A. fires.

I wish we could have been on the cruise with you. Seth Rudetsky presented some of the songs as rehearsed by the passengers on Sirius XM. Sounded like a great time.

And thank you for sharing the concert recording! It was a beautiful event to help those in need.

Glad to have seen this on my Facebook feed. Really looking forward to your visit to our little town of New Bern next month. Hope you'll sing The Story Goes On and a bit from Sondheim along with the princess things that folks will expect. Glad you're getting to visit my favorite city, London, where my close encounter with Sondheim occurred in 1990.
