For Gay Pride Parade Day:
The producer of a few CDs I'd worked on had gotten an OK to give me Mr. Sondheim's direct email address, and this 2009 parody was the first of a series of videos from 2009 to 2013 where Mr. Sondheim looked at the parodies before they were recorded and even gave some helpful notes.
This was my “I’m Still Queer” -a parody-tribute of Stephen Sondheim's “I’m Still Here” looking at four decades of New York City theatergoing

- starting with theater right around Stonewall circa 1969 and going through 40 years of theater, a field that somewhat got identified with the gay demographic.
I was especially thrilled when Michael Musto posted a Village Voice article that took note of this video.
