StrongWriter On The Radio – Episode 168 “GEOFFREY MARK – Composers Who Love Merman and Astaire” (AUDIO PODCAST)

The great GEOFFREY MARK returns to finish the conversation and to answer today's musical questions: "Why did so many of the greatest composers write for Ethel Merman as well as for Fred Astaire? And why did they often want to keep writing songs with these two greats in mind?" Geoffrey does have some authority on the subject, having written the in-depth book, 'Ethel Merman: The Biggest Star on Broadway.' We close the episode with Geoffrey sharing a little bit more of this life and times and then gifting us with some parting advice. Please enjoy this unique interview that you won't hear anywhere else!
