my first real public appearance as a songwriter was in the high school auditorium as the intermission act of the Rogers and Hammerstein muscial "Carousel". I had written a parody/protest song inspired by the production called "June is Busting Out all Over" and the director, Steve Bogart (who was, for the record, directing this schlock against his will) asked me to perform it. it was well received.
