Sara--
You looked a lot better and sounded a lot more coherent than I did (not hard to do). And were a LOT funnier. It was great to meet you.

Catch you at the next Sundance.

I don't think this was an interview "about the movie 'Adrift in Manhattan'" at all... All I learned was that this guy composed a famous jingle that has nothing to do with the film. Thanks for nothing.

GOOD! Today I learned that you don't need any talent to make interviews.

I'm a classical pianist/composer in NY and I met the illustrious Michael Levine in the mid-70s. (We used to gig together.) I've never met a more versatile musician. Besides the Kit-Kat song (over which I'm profoundly jealous) he's also written a piano trio (which I played) an oboe quartet for Paul McCandless, a concerto for musical saw and orchestra, and a concerto for pedal steel guitar and orchestra, and a musical or two. Oh, and he's also a hell of a fiddle player.
Great interview! Let's hear more from him.
