We met at Yale University at The International Cabaret Conference in 2011, along with other cabaret luminaries such as Amanda McBroom, Sharon McNight, Laurel Masse, Tovah Feldshuh and Sally Mayes. David Meulemans and I became firm friends on sight, so when he asked if I'd be interested in collaborating with him on his next cabaret show, I was thrilled. Imagine my surprise and delight when he chose to perform an entire programme of nothing but David Kent! His interpretations of my songs remain among my favourites.
