SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I had never seen a play or a musical of any description until I was much older. But my mother was a showtunes fanatic. We had all the albums in the house - 'South Pacific', the entire Rodgers and Hammerstein cannon, 'West Side Story', 'My Fair Lady'. So, I would listen to these records and love them."
