Dear Steve
 
NEW MATERIAL / NOTE FROM PARENTS

 
I enclose my latest pieces.
 
I apologise for the recent dearth of my material or indeed my very appearance. I can only attribute the problem to vast excesses of work. Unfortunately, I have been too busy even to get an absence note from my parents. Fear not. I expect to be with you this week with some friends in tow. I also hope the bank holiday weekend will give me a chance to produce yet more fresh material.
 
I also have some news for the “where are they now?” department. I spied Richard Katz (ex Laura’s run, October 1992) at the National Theatre in Caryl Churchill’s new play “The Skriker”. I must admit, I didn’t recognise him until about half way through the play during a song and dance routine with Richard wearing plastic flowers on his back. (Naturally, this behaviour made the News Revue memories come flooding back).
 
Be that as it may, I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.
 
Yours sincerely

SONGS
 
I enclose this weeks offerings and hope you like them. I have given you two versions of The Boy From New York City, as my song borrows structure from both.
 
The tape also includes a couple of tracks that Nick R Thomas asked me to tape for you; apparently you have his lyrics but couldn’t trace the tunes.
 
As I said on Thursday, your team are all bursting with talent. I’m sure that the run will be excellent once they all relax and enjoy themselves on stage (they were probably already doing just that by Friday last!)
 
Looking forward to seeing you all later in the week.
 
Yours sincerely

Dear Steve
 
I enclose your starter pack of lyrics and tape for my offerings.  The pack consists of new songs, songs currently in the show and one or two rewrites of older ones etc. If you want me to work on an old chestnut of mine that you might have uncovered in the archive, just let me know.
 
Please do call me and let me know if you are short of any subjects or styles and I shall try to oblige.  Also, if any of these need a bit of rewrite then I shall be happy to change them on request.
 
I look forward to meeting you soon.
