Today's Alternate Video Link

Linda Lavin not only performed "The Boy From…" on The Mike Douglas Show in the seventies — as seen here earlier today — she did it a few years ago in an online Zoom concert to celebrate the 90th birthday of Esteban Rio Nido Stephen Sondheim. My longtime amigo Joe Brancatelli thinks this is a superior performance so here it is. Take your choice…

(What I want to know is did she have to learn the lyrics all over again to do this or were they firmly embedded in her brain forever after umpteen performances of the song on stage?)
