Iconic songs from the multi award winning lyricist

Iconic songs chosen by the multi award winning lyricist.

The multi award winning lyricist returns tonight. The cornerstone of the show is of course the Great American Song Book but it's much more than that- it's a celebration of the songwriter's art which also features iconic songs that are classics in their own right and that stand alone from any film or musical show. Full of personal anecdotes and entertaining stories Don recalls meeting and working with many of the great writers and entertainers of the last 50 years as he gives us his personal impression of the music as experienced back stage and front of house.
