STILL A GYPSY

Imagine having a backstage pass for a long conversation with a woman of substance who is an outstanding performer. Add an irresistible Australian accent, and the next hours will speed away. Toni Lamond entertains by sharing her experiences as a songwriter, dancer, performer, and cabaret singer. She also reveals deeply moving personal experiences with the same honesty and forthright delivery with which she describes her professional life. As she dishes on the behavior of audiences, relates backstage scrapes, and shares the frustrations of producing creative work under deadline, her love of performing is as clear as her Aussie accent. This recording will inspire listeners to seek out her previous memoir, FIRST HALF, as well as her numerous musical recordings. R.F. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
