As I Love You
Mid-November 2025 As I Love You by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans; changes by Debra Milligan I will love you as I love you,  All my life.  Every moment spent with you  Makes me more content with you.  Just as you are, you are all I could pray for.  All that you are, that’s what I wake up each day for.  Every single touch and tingle I adore  Every kiss from you to me seems so very new to me Each one warmer than the one before as I love you more and more.  I will love you

Rodgers and Hammerstein II - Some Enchanted Evening
November 2023 Those two surnames equate to musical artistry of a sort that re-defined American musical theatre. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II were untouchable from the very start of their magic-making collaboration of music and lyrics. They remain untouchable. With Richard Rodgers, the composer, and Oscar Hammerstein II, the librettist and lyricist, the world of Broadway reached a pinnacle it’s not likely to see again. I may be wrong, but when a Golden Age of an
