Thanks Mary Lou, very insightful stuff by Alda. LG was like one of those
genius musicians who have brilliant music flowing out of them without
effort, only with Larry it was funny stuff.

worth reading.

"Ahhhh....Bach!"
Yes, I read that also, it was awesome.
One point about Alda's article, I think he's a little confused. He says
Gelbart had him say the line..."Don't let the bastard win." Well he says
that in the episode The General's Practitioner which is from season 5,
after Gelbart left the show.
With all due respect to the many fine people who wrote and worked on
"Goodbye, Farewell and Amen," I think that THIS would have been a
better M*A*S*H finale...
From the article: "All of us who worked with him were awed by him,
and we revered him, but we always, always were comfortable in his
presence because above all we loved him. And we could see that he
loved us back."
I think we here can all say those same words. Mr. Gelbart made us all
know that he loved us back!!!
Indeed, sr.
I think the one thing that is going to stick with me for the rest of my
life (I hope) about Elsig is his humility. He was just SO humble, at
least that's how he acted in my mind, anyway, and in a dog-eat-dog,
shark infested world like the Hollywood world, humility is a rare trait
to encounter... but by God, Elsig had it in spades.
