FAN STORY: READ BELOW
-----------------------------
A London Press Conference with Julie Andrews, her musical director Ian Fraser and producer Jay David Saks took place at the CTS Studios, Wembley, London, on the 25th of March, 1994.

I posed as a photographer and reporter for Pantalla (a Spanish magazine) and various Italian Publications. The occasion was the press conference about Julie’s new album “Broadway: The Music of Richard Rodgers”.

I recorded some of the press conference and here it is for your enjoyment, almost 27 years later. Please excuse the sound quality.

The first question is asked by author/actor Richard Kates.

After the press conference, Francine Taylor (Miss Andrews’ assistant) invited me and Mr Kates to the recording studio, with conductor/arranger Ian Fraser and the production team, to see (and hear, of course) Julie record the song “Bewitched”.

In spite of being tired after a long day in the studio and then talking to the international press, plus video interviews for the BBC and ITV, Julie nailed it in one take, needing only a minimum amount of drop-ins. During one of these she made a tiny mistake and let out an Anglo-Saxon four-letter word, which made everyone chuckle.
