"Night Music" was great. It was a Broadway Video/Lorne Michaels production 
and he's being a dick about releasing it to DVD. I even emailed Sanborn 
about it. He said he's being trying to get it released but it's been a no go 
with Michaels. He still feels he is owed money becuase he never recouped his 
inital investment or some such rot. He could easily get it back with DVD 
sales. This show tanked because they lost a lot of their advertisers after 
an episode with The Residents and Conway Twitty. The first season was on NBC 
(with Jools Holland and Hal Wilner involved) and came on after SNL, the 
second syndicated (minus Holland). I have almost all of them on VHS and have 
been meaning for years to cull out the performances and footage I liked the 
best. Shit, I remember being in a cheap bourbon (Old Crow) and codeine haze 
and seeing Pere Ubu performing a scorching version of "Waiting For Mary" 
with Debbie Harry on backing vocals.The PIxies, Sonic Youth, Al Green, Sun 
Ra, Hank Crawford, Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas, Betty Carter, Screamin' Jay 
Hawkins, Nick Cave...The list was stunning. I'm going ot have to dig those 
tapes out!
