Some treasures, once unearthed, give unexpected context for people whose paths cross. I stumbled on this, as I do many of the vault pieces, and recognized the subject as a blog reader: the multi-talented Jimmy Roberts.
Written 20 years ago by Jock Davenport, the profile gives an inkling as to how many talented people live behind the closed doors of our neighborhood's apartments. I shouldn't be surprised; the neighborhood is well known for its concentration of musicians.
So, here now, in one from the vault, is a little window into this musically gifted neighbor, Jimmy Roberts, the composer responsible for one of the longest running off-Broadway musicals "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change". If you search it on YouTube, don't be surprised to see Chinese and Hungarian productions.
