 Welcome
to my tribute to Marvin Hamlisch. I hope you enjoy listening to it, but
first, I want to tell you why I decided to create it.
This project
began as a thank you to Marvin. It quickly became a labor of love.
Many years ago,
my first professional job as an actor was in a show called "They're
Playing Our Song." This show, composed by Mr. Marvin Hamlisch, helped
to determine my fate.
Later, I met
Marvin at an audition for his concert tour. In the dozen years since then,
we have come to know each other very well. Marvin's gifts for composing
are limitless. But, more than that, he is one of the hardest working entertainers
in the industry. He is also one of the nicest and funniest! I am honored
to call him my friend.
Though I may
never be able to return his kindness and generosity, I am thrilled, by
his trusting me, to present this compilation CD. I hope, in some small
way, this project honors him and the gifts of song he has given to the
world. God bless you Marvin!
Okay! Now listen
to the CD. Enjoy! Oh, and by the way, please tell all your friends!

 The
first time I heard J. Mark McVey sing, he was starring in "Les Mis" on
Broadway. His voice was incredible. I said to myself, "He's special." I
was right.
Mark is one of
those gifted entertainers who can not only sing lots of different types
of songs, but miraculously he makes them sound like the composer wrote
each song especially for him.
That's why I
am so honored to have this compilation CD of my songs (the first one, by
the way) performed by Mark.
As you'll know
doubt experience for yourselves, as you listen to one song after another
- He's special!

all!
