Dear Libby and Daniel,

 

A geet a zimmer

 

 

Im so excited about delivering the an Operetta run the way I’ve worked on it – I’ve done such an upgrade

I’ve honed / I’ve raised the game for the Operetta through recent performances in Maryland - see: Reputation & all laughs no smiles"

 

Can we talk now about re recitals in places in Charleston between August 1 till Sept 14. 

 

I pulled together from different places elements of the songs I threw together that night at yours as an “operetta”

It’s the first video on the operetta page – let me know any thoughts

 

I’ve honed / raised the game for said Operetta a little bit too, selection of pieces etc.

 

Please also read this nonpublic page describing an aspect of motivation in the dissemination of the piece https://www.babytosh.com/campus

 

 

I don't necessarily need places with a piano.

I can do it with a keyboard, it is possible, but it's just so much better with the piano.

 

 

I’m writing to Tessa to ask her to help promote any bookings (will cc you)

 

I listed the ones you mentioned below and created an email with dates, to copy/paste/alter as you see fit to make it easier…. feel free to ignore / re-do / alter. I suggest July 1 till Sept 6 but if someone has their own dates in mind of course I’d like to hear about it

 

You get 20% of any wages

 

 

Dear

 

Subsequent to our call about; Baby Tosh (Paul) our friend, who stayed with us while performing in Charleston, and as a thank you made a recital of his own original Operetta in our home, see clips of that on:

www.babytosh.com/operetta

 

It made me feel like I was in the pre-WWII era of the arts in Jewish society! Loved it

 

Can I ask you to put together a fund-raising event with Paul performing his Operetta as a focal point for the evening. And to pay him $x. Myself and some of other people who attended at our house will help organize and promote.

 

He generally performs a concert of: “Six Decades of the Jewish Songwriters, with some discussion about the songs, and insights behind the artists lives”, see his web site www.babytosh.com

 

He will be in town again July 1 till Sept 6, but if you have other dates in mind let me know

Please be in touch to see what we can organize

 

Warm regards as always

Libby and Daniel

Also Daniel can you please reach out to Joseph for me just this once:

 

Hi Joseph

Paul asked me reach out regards the following two things

 

1:

He did two concerts and the wedding at BSBI, and his Operetta at our house and we feel he has a chance now of pulling a crowd for a concert at Fox.

He has a new format of the six decades of the Jewish songwriters and his Operetta see www.babytosh.com and www.babytosh.com/operetta

 

I suggested also to double up with another act… but he should be able to bring something of a crowd this time from all the above and the feedback he got. 

He would split the ticket with you so no need to commit to a fee, just throw in a little promo.

 

He will be in town again July 1 till Sept, if you have another date in mind let him know.

Please be in touch with him paul@babytosh.com to see what you can organize

 

 

 

 

 

2:

Paul also has a kickback idea;

 

Would you send out the below introductory emails, for a 20% kick back on any booking.

Try to 10 Fox Music customers, 5 of each type; 

OPERETTA x5 individuals 

& J WRITERS x5 country clubs, venues, 55+ communities

 

 

 

OPERETTA

 

Dear valued Fox music customer

I am happy to forward an opportunity to book a friend of ours for a unique home concert recital.

Please see him and it on 

www.babytosh.com/operetta

Great as a fund raiser or just as an excuse to get friends, neighbors and family round.

His Operetta resonates with listeners by addressing the universal struggle of maintaining a facade of strength while grappling with internal challenges. Its jazz-inflected melodies and heartfelt lyrics create an intimate atmosphere that invites reflection and emotional connection.

 

"Baby Tosh held up a mirror to the audience, inviting us to wrestle with ourselves, with each other, and with G-d. And isn’t that the truest form of art? Unforgettable performance!"

- Tzipporah Naim, 

at Libbys & Daniels home concert

Operetta price $740

and let him know we made the recommendation

and paul@babytosh.com regards scheduling 904 860 2362

 

His performances is characterized by a fusion of conversation, humor, and musical prowess, often leaving audiences feeling as though they’ve been part of a

"pre-WWII era artistic gathering of the arts."

Best regards

Joseph

GENERAL CONCERT

 

Dear valued Fox music customer

I am happy to forward an opportunity to book a friend of ours for his unique concert performance.

Please allow me to introduce Baby Tosh, a Scottish-born, USA-based singer, pianist, and songwriter renowned for his emotive performances and eclectic musical style. His work seamlessly blends jazz, classical, pop, folk, and traditional Jewish and Scottish music, often incorporating live piano looping and improvisation into his shows. 

 

​Musical Style & Performances

Known for his dynamic and unpredictable performances, Baby Tosh offers two distinct shows:

    1.   Original Operetta – Paper Gun: Described as “an exercise in expressing things you can never express,” this piece delves into themes of vulnerability and emotional depth, inviting audiences into an intimate and reflective experience.

        2.    Six Decades of Jewish Songwriters: A tribute to the rich history of Jewish contributions to music, this show features classics from artists like Frank Sinatra (from his long list of Jewish writers), Neil Diamond, Amy Winehouse, and Bob Dylan, presented with Baby Tosh’s unique flair.​

P.S.

Please allow me to mention that the Operetta is his best work, but a combination of the J writers show may be useful for getting a crowd which is a great set. But regards the Operetta it's not just my opinion I see the reactions.

But again if you prefer a combo or even just the J writers that's great.

I will ask you about your CHICAGO friend

Cc Libby; foxes53324@gmail.com

 

 

Dear Tessa

Have u had the baby yet?

How are you?

A git a zimmer

 

Your comments were remarkable to me (they are incorporated on the web site/in the video), I would like to ask if you would helping when it comes to a small round of concerts in Charleston later this year. Libby had some ideas of private homes to do the operetta in perhaps as a part of fund raiser evenings, and Fox music hopefully also would put on a show.

Would you help promote them; watsaaps to people etc and anything you can think of, even other places I could perhaps do it?

 

Please also read this nonpublic page describing an aspect of motivation in the dissemination of the piece https://www.babytosh.com/campus

 

 

I noted I’d send you a couple of versions of some songs from the Operetta, here they are:

Dear Tessa

I had an idea to ask, would you spearhead an approach to Regina Spektor?

 

I prepared a letter below with samples of me doing her songs, as well as mine from the operetta that I have a hunch she will like.

I need to figure out how to it get to her, and it’s always better if someone, not me, makes such an approach 

 

I’m a big fan and if I can get my work to her perhaps BezH' she would to want to help.

 

Kindest and most most grateful regards

Paul

 

 

 

Dear Regina

My friend Tessa will  have reached out to you on my behalf.

To say I’d be excited to meet you would be an understatement.

As long as it's not shabbas or chag, tell me where and when.

 

I’ve been performing for 30+ years and recently created a combined show of; 

Six Decades of the Jewish Songwriters, with some discussion about the songs, and insights behind the artists lives, along with excerpts from my original operetta.

In my show I give over about your mum and dad and recently I commented you were now my favorite

See that at 8.04min in the Jewish writers mosaic video

Found at the top of www.babytosh.com

 

I would love to see a future for my operetta in a small club/theatre setting. Is there anything you can imagine perhaps by way of introduction to a small agent / manager to help get me round such places. I have a camper van coming and am all set up for travel and performance.

 

I think I appeal to a similar crowd as yours, enclosed is also me doing some of your songs, and please take a look at samples from my Operetta on

Hi

I met Ben Shapiro at the gym, he kindly gave me a nice quote and re-tweeted one of my videos. 

I’ve been doing my operetta* in a private homes, and a “six decades of the Jewish writers” concert in Shuls and 55+ communities.

 

*used as a focus point for fund raisers in Charleston. Please check out this page for some live footage and testimonials. Im writing to ask if you could use me, and if you would / could ask Ben to consider using me and my Operetta one time for such an occasion, that would be quink (quite increadible).

new addition: FEAR HATE

https://youtube.com/shorts/2u7q4-AP074?feature=share

Dear Yaell & Yitzy

I hope you and all the fam are all well

I have performed my new J writers concert which led to me doing a private home recital of my Operetta, which has led to being used as a focal point for recital type bookings in peoples homes doing my original Operetta.

I am making moves to expand that interest as I have had better responses to it than anything I ever did.

I believe the new main video (top front centre on the web site landing page) incorporating what I've done through the years as a sell, and how it introduces the Operetta, I think could be perhaps sold to a network and they'd want to do a story / interview/ news article, on my background to this point.

My ultimate goal is get to the right person I could get a tour out of this, I could get Ronnie Scotts, all the places because I'm the "looper, jazz player, interpreter" bla bla bla - but how to we do it

I am also trying to find a direct way to get in touch with Adam Lehman, the CEO of Hillel for Jewish students.

Their is also a unique kiruv element to the Operetta, I have hi-lighted a train of though on this page quoting Rabbi Sacks that I would like Adam to see, and my aim is to get a 5min meeting with him.

I am writing to ask from making your documentary perhaps you have an LA contact I could meet to present to in the light of, or some way to get the attention of Adam Lehman.

I aim to be there in August

Warm regards

Paul
