The glitz, glam and stars were out at the 2018 Songbook Foundation “Swinging on a Star” Celebration Sept. 15 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Where’s Amy loved seeing the amazing Michael Feinstein perform and honor the late Academy Award-winning composer Jimmy Van Heusen, late singer-actress Rosemary Clooney and cabaret and musical theater star Marilyn Maye. The gala raised money for the Center’s artistic and educational programs. The night also included songs from Songbook Ambassadors Finn Sagal (2017) and Lily Rasmussen (2018), dancing, delicious food and spirits. If you have not visited the amazing Songbook Exhibit Gallery, stop by and see rare and unique sheet music, recordings and artifacts from the careers of artists, including Meredith Wilson, Johnny Burke and Gus Kahn.
