Some Musical Reflections: Mark Birnbaum - This Is Entertainment (MJB)

O.K. now, this is real music. Mark Birnbaum was the staff pianist on Joe Franklin's delightful and eclectic TV show. He might shush me if he knew I was going to tell you he holds a Doctorate in music from Columbia University. He'd get shy if he knew I was going to tell you what a brilliant and accomplished musician he is, what a passionate and talented artist he is. He's probably say, 'enough with that - listen and enjoy!'. This is Entertainment is bold and brash, suave and subtle. There are wonderful ragtime classics, blues numbers, classical selections and even a few original compositions. This truly is entertainment. As
