  • ANYTHING GOES

    I’ve just finished listening to every episode of this remarkable series. It’s been an education and a joy to hear the composers( many no longer with us) talk about their work. Paul Lazarus is a skilled interviewer and clearly very knowledgeable himself. I can recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about Broadway tunes and their composers and everyone else who just enjoys a feast of Broadway tunes.

  • A most welcome return

    In the 80's, Sundays at 12:30 meant ANYTHING GOES with Paul Lazarus. I loved it then and I love it even more now. It is such a treat to hear firsthand from the people who wrote the soundtrack of my life. Bravo!!!
