SCOTT FRIED

UPDATE: Scott is on the web! You can view the page with his story
and excerpts from his book here.

Scott Fried, whom I discovered when he came to speak to my college
class in '93 about being HIV possitive. Intruiged, I learned that he was
renting a Broadway theater to fulfill a lifelong dream of his,
to sing and dance on a Broadway stage

The show, which I went to see was called "A Change of Seasons"
and was moving and entertaining. On my way out I bought a tape
that was produced of his 1992 show "An Evening of Songs".
I bought it because there was a recording of the title song of
"The Last Unicorn" but as I listened to it throughout college
and afterward I fell in love with all the other songs on it.

Scott is not a songwriter, but his performances of others work
are moving and very personal, as is Scott's banter with the
audience. I feel very lucky to have seen the second show. I never heard
anything more about Scott's career, or where to reach his
organization of friends for the recording of the show I
attended.

The tape I do have, which I'm in the process of rerecording
because the original is in terrible shape has the following songs.

SIDE 1

Here Comes the Sun
Listen to my Heart
Barter
The Last Unicorn
In a Simple Way
The Kid Inside
Harley (for Holly)
Where've You Been?

SIDE 2

Miracles
That Kid Can Fly
The Water is Wide
Here Comes the Sun (Reprise)
Let the River Run
Yaicha
Your Love

The only other notes on the tape say "Duplication & Cover by
Pillar Productions, NYC. Editing by S.F."
