Another great podcast, Steve and Christy. Thanks for capturing and preserving wonderful moments from the New York party for me and so many of my friends. The interviews with Joe Long, who replaced Nick Massi in the Seasons, and Frank Rovello, who runs the gilgweb.com fan site, were particularly good. For me, one of the highlights of the party was at last getting to meet you two, who have done so much to help people learn about the play and the various casts.
You mentioned that Bob Gaudio said in London that some Valli/Seasons songs were much bigger in Britain than in the U.S. That's very true. Fallen Angel is one of those. There are two songs in particular -- You're Ready Now (which features the Angels on backing vocals) and the Night -- that were huge hits in Britain but not hits at all in the U.S. They are both in the Jersey Beat box set. You might want to feature them in a future podcast, if you haven't already done so. Warm regards, Charles

I wish I could have been there! Thanks for capturing the party! I'm so sad about John leaving but that gives him more opportunities to shine! Love the podcast! Keep it coming!
