Terry surprised me with tickets to see my former client Stew at the San Francisco Jewish Community Center. I left voice messages with his current brain trust — manager Dan Perloff and agent Ronnie Lapone — to give the man fair warning.

I was Stew’s manager in 2003 during the inception of what became the Broadway smash hit “Passing Strange” although was not part of that production team (sometimes I say that my relationship with Stew informs the role of the mother in PS).

Suffice it to say that “Passing Strange” would have been “better, and better and better” if I had been asked to make input.

I like the new cd, especially the song about William Holden.
