GGACP celebrates National Piano Month (yes, National Piano Month) by revisiting this 2017 interview with songwriter/composer-turned-dramatist (and lifelong pianist!) Rupert Holmes. In this episode, Rupert discusses (among other essential topics) the brilliance of Bernard Herrmann, the lesser-known films of Boris Karloff and the fine art of “cracking” celebrity impressions. Also, Frank Gorshin channels George Burns, Gilbert mimics Sydney Greenstreet, Bob Hope goes psychedelic and Rupert remembers his childhood hero, Jerry Lewis. PLUS: “House of Wax”! The Great Gildersleeve! Grandpa Munster rocks out! Rupert” collaborates” with Mickey Rooney! And the boys pay tribute to “Old Dark House” movies!
