Anyone else listening to NFF Tuesday afternoon? Mine was right in the middle of "I Love Paris" and then NFF suddenly stopped and Natalie Cole started singing. What happened to NFF??

I think the same thing happened to me. I was listening to this great show online, but had to run an errand. I was gone for about 30 minutes. When I returned, the show was no longer on. I thought there should have been at least an hour or so left.

N4F208 is FANTABULOUS! In a Porter word -- "Wunderbar!" The Reprise Musical Rep was a great concept, and it worked beautifully! Of course, it's wonderful to have those magical musicals as "starting points!" To fit the songs to each individual talent; create new arrangements & orchestrations; and conduct those scores -- a remarkable achievement! WORTHY OF A SPECIAL GRAMMY!! I wrote about 20 letters to the NARAS people "suggesting, imploring, beseeching" the Academy to honor the Reprise Rep in some special way! Never even received a reply!

N4F208 is "THE TOP!" Huge bows to Nancy, Chuck & Dan! And special thanks to Leigh Ann for starting the thread! Super job, folks!

I listened today from 3 PM eastern to just after 5. I didn't hear the interruption, but what I did hear was very awesome!

[sschweiger]

A couple of quick thoughts on N4F206...Ella's "Dream Dancing," Rosie's "Miss Otis Regrets," Nancy's "Don't Fence Me In," and Keely and Frank's "So In Love" are wonderful! And this will incur the wrath of T Bennett fans, but...the first time (many moons ago) I heard his version of "Down In The Depths...90th Floor," I thought it was awful. Listening again, I had to turn the volume off! Truly couldn't believe what I was hearing! But, hey, that's what makes horse racing!

A great, great show -- with high hopes of hearing similar tributes to Kern, Rodgers, Gershwin, Styne, Van Heusen, Berlin, Arlen, et al! Terrific job by Nancy, Chuck, Dan & Co. And thanks, again to Leigh Ann!!

After listening to this show again, I have decided I have got to have that Reprise Musical Repertory Theater collection! I'm on the hunt for it. How in the world did I not know about this one?

I absolutely LOVE Michael Feinstein's recording of "Begin the Beguine". The arrangement is beautiful, and his interpretation is amazing. It makes me wish I was twirling around the dancefloor doing my best foxtrot.

This is my third time listening to the show and I want to hear it again! Thanks Chuck and Nancy.
