The happiest moment of my life was...
The rehearsal pianist for Rodgers & Hammerstein [Jack Prenner] read and heard my score for "Nellie Bly" and he said, "You didn't used to be this smart. Now now now as a lyricist, you're as good as Oscar Hammerstein!" I fell to my knees and with clenched hands yelled, "Thank you God for this moment!"
