Thank you for this. Mr. Patinkin is one of my favorite artists and humans. Thank you for a beautiful, insightful interview.

This is an exceptional dispatch of SES/SUMS IT UP. Your contributions to the conversation are as meaningful as your subject's answers.

Patinkin is a major figure for me. I also saw him in TRELAWNY OF THE "WELLS"; Patinkin, Streep and and John Lithgow made quite an impression. I listen to Patinkin's albums (including a children's record) with so much love.

Two more things that really got me: 1. The Candle was my neighborhood bar, and my first experience with a back room ("why are all those men going behind the curtain...?").2. I also have a real thing for Jewish men, always have, even before I ever met one. What is that about?

I am so grateful for your writings, KS.

You are so good at this. Your whole "you" comes through in every question.
