By the way, did anyone else notice how happy and well-rested Dan looked on all of his New York feeds last week?<br />

Mmmmm, autumn in New York.

      <![CDATA[Pretty darned close.  The ha's aren't aspirated very well though, which is the whole point, it's what makes it a joke in coluratura.  At least she uses some sort of vague continental attempt at it, but it's more like a glottal stop than an aspiration.  <br />
Still since Ms Cook has refused to sing the thing since the show closed oh so long ago, I guess this will have to do.
