Many top-rank rock and pop acts skip performing on New Year's Eve. Probably because their families insist they spend the evening at home after months away on the road. Really small acts pass as well, mostly because they aren't big enough to command the big ticket prices that many venues command on the last night of the year.

The bulk of my work is as a touring musician, and I can do that from anywhere. One of Broadbent's shorter tours these days is on the train into Manhattan from his new home in the northern suburbs.

All of those email writers also said they were fans of singer Julie London, who was married to Troup. By any measure, London was special. In someways, her recordings don't really do her justice.
