    Randy Newman


    Thank you, thank you, thank you for not only adding Randy to your concerts list but also to the downloads.  As soon as I have a chance to listen to the concert, I'm sure it will be my first download purchase.   I heard Randy at the Anchor Bar in Detroit sometime around 1978-9 and again just last year at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, and am really looking forward to hearing this show.

    Also, I just wanted to point out a few typos in the write-up of the concert:

    "It roughly chronicles the story of Governor Huey Long, who, was complex politician, adored by many for his commitment to the common working man; and hated by others for his eventually corruption."  I think that should be "eventual corruption."  (I'm not a grammerian, so I won't point out that it seems the comma between "who" and "was complex politician" is unnecessary and the semi-colon isn't consistant with the other punctuation in that sentence.  And while typing this I just noticed, shouldn't it be "was a complex politician"?

    "came from an elite Hollywood family - is two uncles" should be "his two uncles"?

    "For those of you eager to Newman alone with brilliant songs," should that be something like "eager to hear Newman alone with his brilliant songs"?

    Oh, and I just checked the Academy Awards website and the only Oscar Randy has won is for "If I Didn't Have You" from Monsters, Inc. and not for the soundtrack for Toy Story II.
