| Strouse wrote the music for Flowers for Algernon, with book and lyrics by David Rogers. "Whatever Time There Is" is a marvellously poignant song that never fails to tug at the heartstrings. It was done in London, and a few years ago the York Theatre did a reading of it. The Overture to Rags also evokes the same reaction. |

| The overture to Rags -- which wasn't used in the production, I was recently reminded (and I saw a preview) -- never fails to wring a tear. I often listen to the whole show on July 4th. It's perfect. | |

| And "If We Never Meet Again," which has several iterations in Rags' many revisions, is lovely on the first post-Sideshow Ripley-Skinner album of duets. Probably my favorite version. | |
