Synopsis

Album Description
ALEC BALDWIN Doesn't Love Me is a musical exploration of what it means to be slightly out of step with the world around you. Based on the writings of humorist Michael Thomas Ford, it's the story of one man as he struggles to figure out what it is that makes him different from the people around him, searches for a community where he belongs, and ultimately learns that fitting in really means being willing to be himself. Reflecting both the pain and joy that come from following your heart, it is a celebration of the wonderful and more than slightly peculiar queer experience of which we are all a part. Author Michael Thomas Ford is the Lambda Literary Award-winning author of numerous books, including the essay collections It's Not Mean If It's True, That's Mr. Faggot to You, and Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me. His monthly column, My Queer Life, appears in more than two dozen newspapers, and he is a contributing writer to Instinct magazine. All this is put to a wonderful musical setting by Dr JA Kawarsky who has had several pieces recorded and performed through out the country including Prayers for Bobby which was performed by LVGMC 2 years ago. Dr. Kawarsky is in his 3rd year as the Artistic Director of LVGMC. Plus much much more with additional songs as the lush Duke Ellington's Mood Indigo and Fathers and Sons from the musical Working.
 

CD Reviews

A great disc, but I'm a little biased :-)
Carl Fongheiser | Iowa City, IA USA | 08/10/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD contains musical adaptations of a number of the stories from Michael Thomas Ford's book of the same name. The songs are fun and funny (if you don't laugh at "The Gay-B-C's" or "I Want It All", you might want to check to see if you've lost your [sense of humor]*grin*)The bias I allude to in the title is that I performed a number of the songs on this disc with the Lehigh Valley Gay Men's Chorus at the GALA Festival 2000. I had a lot of fun doing it. I had no part in the making of this disc, but I strongly recommend it."
A good start with diverse music

"Between the Michael Thomas Ford libretto and the diverse musical styles by J.A. Kawarsky, the mini-musical "Alec.." is a lot fun with some very touching moments thrown in. The 2nd half of the CD, is where the versatility of the chorus seems to really kick in from the rousing "..Drunken Sailor" to the intoxicating "Mood Indigo". The CD is a great start for them and a 'must have' for MTF, Alec Baldwin and Martha Stewart fans."
