[0:00] Paul Lazarus: Hi, this is Paul Lazarus. In the 1980s, I produced and hosted a radio series called Anything Goes, a celebration of the American musical theater. Now, the Broadway Podcast Network is bringing back these shows. This is the second of a three-part series paying tribute to the renowned lyricist Lorenz "Larry" Hart on what would have been Hart's 87th birthday. This phone request program originally aired in 1982 and featured many classic Hart songs from shows like The Boys from Syracuse by Jupiter and On Your Toes.

[7:37] Paul Lazarus: You are listening to Anything Goes. I'm your host Paul Lazarus on this gorgeous Sunday, May 2nd, which would have been Lorenz Hart's 87th birthday. Born on May 2nd, 1895. A lot of great composers and lyricists in the musical theater were born in that year. And if you would like to hear a song by Rodgers and Hart that's your favorite, call 279-3400 and make a request. I'd be happy if I have it to play it. Here's some more Rodgers and Hart.

[20:04] Paul Lazarus: You're listening to Rogers and Hart Songs. Today on Anything Goes, I'm your host Paul Lazarus. And if you'd like to request your favorite R&H tune, call 279-3400. We have about a half hour left on this request program, and I have a great deal of fun. I must tell you that this is a rather hectic way to run a show because between trying to take your phone calls and get the records cued up and ready and trying to keep track of everything, it's a bit crazy. That's why I haven't been able to speak on the phone too long with each of you, and I apologize for that. But I'm engineering the show simultaneously, and it's quite a few things to think about. I will get to your calls. Before Judy Garland's singing of Johnny One Note from the Words in Music soundtrack, you heard Ella Fitzgerald again singing To Keep My Love Alive, and I didn't have a Vivian Single version of that with me.

I apologize. That's a great, great recording. You then heard from the film version of I Married an Angel, the title song. That was another request. Sing for Your Supper from the Boys from Syracuse, that Columbia album. And Bobby Short singing Nobody's Heart from the show by Jupiter, also in that set of songs. Here to fulfill another one of your requests is once again from the soundtrack of Words in Music, Perry Como singing My Heart Stood Still.
