I updated these entries on YouTube to keep the numbers more clear outside of their contexts than they had been.

For material from the Kritzerland recording of The Last Starfighter (songs by Skip), see this blog at

HERRINGBONE recording of the LaJolla - McCarter - Williamstown company

It's sounding great, but it looks like the release will be B.D. and Dan and company doing the whole show rather than just the songs - so until that recording of their tremendous live performance comes out, just email AOL address dylan43rd and we can email you two or three MP3 tracks from the demo that was recorded some years back.
(Playwrights Horizons had published the script in its anthology PLAYS FROM PLAYWRIGHTS HORIZONS, not printed any more but seems to be available very reasonably on amazon and elsewhere.)
