Dear All:

I hope you enjoyed today's talk on Bock and Harnick. As promised, here is material on the songwriting pair. I'd very much recommend the first item, an interview from 2010 with Harnick at the Kennedy Center that includes some great performance of his work with Bock, including a fine song by from Rex, along with songs we heard from Fiorello! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd6dc9IiCRA

Here is "Little Tin Box" from Fiorello! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrJMnONes2w

Here is singing "Ice Cream" from : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZf6oQeqSww

Here is is the 2004 interview with Fiddler creators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovv8y- zlcTI

Here are excerpts from the 2019 Yiddish Fiddler directed by Joel Grey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwOu_rVbCKg

The 2019 documentary of Fiddler is on DVD and can also be streamed on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fiddler-Miracle-Miracles-Lin-Manuel- Miranda/dp/B07XR966S7

Here is Harnick singing "When Messiah Comes": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umaJw- VYN8

Here is the song "In my Lifetime" from the cast album of the Rothschilds...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oOcDGUa1K0 - The song is also included in the Kennedy Center interview with Harnick listed above.

Finally, here is a recent NYT article about Mr. and Mrs. Harnick at their home last year : https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/realestate/sheldon-harnick-fiddler-on-the- roof.html

Here is Harnick being honored in 2016 as he sees Bock and Harnick Way in NYC: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10153892997478884 And "Merry Minuet", the satirical song Harnick wrote (words and music) nearly 70 years ago - doesn't seem too out of date.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUfUAnqRJTQ

Many thanks!
