By Andrew Gans
03 Nov 2005


The recordings of the late Nancy LaMott and Laurie Beechman will be
featured on two separate broadcasts of Everything Old Is New Again,
the radio program that airs on WBAI 99.5 FM.

On Nov. 6 the weekly series will pay tribute to Beechman, the singing
actress who was perhaps best known for her lengthy stint as
Grizabella in the Broadway run of Cats and her powerful version of
that show's anthem, "Memory." The radio broadcast, which airs 9-11
PM, will feature Beechman's renditions of "As If We Never Said
Goodbye," "A House Is Not a Home," "If We Only Have Love," "There But
for You Go I" and "Memory."

The Nov. 27 program will salute the late LaMott, who may have been
the finest singer the cabaret world produced in the past few decades.
LaMott's recordings include "Beautiful Baby," "Come Rain or Come
Shine: The Songs of Johnny Mercer," "My Foolish Heart" and "Listen to
My Heart" as well as the posthumously released What's Good About
Goodbye?" and "Nancy LaMott—Live at Tavern on the Green."

LaMott died of cancer in 1995 at the age of 43. Beechman lost her
battle with cancer in 1997; she was also 43.

Everything Old Is New Again — hosted by David Kenney — can also be
heard on the internet at www.2600.com/offthehook/hot2.ram.

I still have 240 unopened copies of her Christmas CD. If anyone
wants to buy lots of 30 for wholesale prices, contact me. Has anyone
seen the Christmas album in stores?
