“I used to say: These are the priorities of Marvin Hamlisch: 1‑Music
2‑New York Yankees
3‑Me
He Loved his Yankees!” Terre Blair Hamlisch.
When Marvin was performing, in the old days before Smartphones, during the play-off season, messages were being relayed from the side door of the stage onto the stage. There would be somebody pointing with their hands: “Five” — “Two.” And then the response with Marvin’s “thumbs up” will follow. — Conductor J. Ernest Green.
