from Jeff Lunden:
"On tomorrow evening's All Things Considered (4 - 6 pm, in most markets), I have an appreciation of legendary songwriter Frank Loesser, in commemoration of the centennial of his birth.  I speak with daughters Susan and Emily and feature archival audio of Loesser singing and speaking, along with composer Burton Lane and the original Sarah in Guys and Dolls, Isabel Bigley.  And, on nprmusic.org, there will be additional interview material with lyricist Sheldon Harnick and cabaret singer Karen Oberlin, along with full versions of Loesser singing his own songs, among them "Baby, It's Cold Outside," "Inchworm" and "Luck Be a Lady."
