RIP

When I did a google search, oddly, the picture that popped up with his wiki page was David Henry Hwang.

Thank you PJ. That is my favorite number from what I have always considered one of the finest scores by R&H.

RIP Mr. Shigeta.

I remember him best for voicing Captain Li, Shang's father, in 'Mulan'. R.I.P.

I always found James Shigeta to be extraordinarily appealing. I would have liked to have seen him as the King in THE KING AND I. But I hope he had a good life. RIP.
