(Intro) Welcome
Liz Callaway
[Intro]
Thank you so much
I am so happy you could all be here tonight
As I pay tribute to a man who meant so much to me
And to all of us
I was very fortunate to have known Stephen Sondheim–
Or, as I graduated to calling him, Steve—
For over forty years
And tonight, you're going to hear songs and stories
From some of my experiences working with him
As well as some songs of his I just happen to love
But first, let me introduce you to my wonderful musicians tonight
On drums, Ron Tierno
On bass, Ritt Henn
And on piano, Alex Rybeck
