Description
To quote a beloved song title from this CD, “Once Upon a Time”…. These four words instantly conjure a mythical, fabled land – usually a long time ago and far, far away. Well, once upon a time, there was a mythical, magical place – a place called Broadway; an enchanted kingdom set aglow by a million neon lights.
