PAGE 26 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, (Continued from page 18) which I wanted to use. I listened to all his material, and decided which song I‘d use in which situâ€" ations." "I met Liza Minelli through a friend of mine, and of course I met her mother (actress July Garland â€" The Wizard of Oz). That was one of the biggest thrills of my life. But mostly 1 wrote songs for Liza just for fun. I still do," said Hamlisch. One situation Hamlisch fondly remembers is high school days, and old friends. â€" Hamlisch is serious about play, (he goes to see Yankee games when he gets the chance) but he‘s equally serious about his work ethic, and is one artist who likes to compose at his bench. If something is edited, he certainly doesn‘t cry over a spilt score, it simply doesn‘t bother him. ‘‘Look, that‘s all part of the business, so you‘d better accept that or get out of the business," said Hamlisch firmly. He‘s not a man to mix business and pleaâ€" sure with intention. "I can‘t compose anywhere else, and I don‘t. Restaurants are for eating. Besides you don‘t get those lightning flashe‘s of inspiraâ€" tion very often," he added. One bolt of inspiration was the enormously successful The Way We Were. ‘Oh, 1 just b song. I didn‘t sand on it first that." The song remains a r( landmark. In addition to being a s tive arranger/composer lisch exudes extremely wit. â€" ‘‘You know, you‘ll the (Johnny) Carson I‘m funny. I‘m a wi think ah, ha, ha, I‘m : *‘*Â¥You know, you ii see me on the (Johnny) Carson show, and I‘m funny. I‘m a wit, and you think ah, ha, ha, I‘m a big laugh. On there I‘m Marvin the enterâ€" tainer. But first and foremost I‘m Marvin the composer." Hamlisch once felt he wan‘t taken seriously enough in his work. Due to his appearances with Royal Philharmonic Orâ€" chestra of London, his numerous awards including The Pulitzer Prize, four Grammys, two Goldâ€" en Globes, nine Tony awards and three Oscars, that attitude has changed. Hamlisch is respo’hsible for one of Broadway‘s biggest hits. Unâ€" fortunately distinguished direcâ€" tor Richard Attenborough turned Chrous Line into one of the 1985‘s supreme Dansekin duds. Another key factor, A Chorus Line. _ ‘Well, it was not the best definitive movie ~version, and that‘s all 1 have to say about that," he said. But Hamlisch was to hear the touring production was coming to Centre in the Square. â€" "I will be featuring songs from Chorus Line, The Way We Were, and The Sting, of course. But I‘m also going to preview a song from my new Broadway musical Smile, which opens in New York next spring,‘ he said. Wit, talent pave way Smile is musical based on the 1975 movie of the same name, which deals with beauty pagâ€" eants, with lyrics and direction by Howard Ashman, awardâ€"winâ€" ning creator for Little Shop of Horrors." ‘"‘Well why not beauty pagâ€" eants? I think it says something about our values today. The score this time is quite theatriâ€" cal, but 1 can never really pigeonhole anything. Some of the stuff I‘ve written for this is even country western, but it depends entirely. It‘s a highly individual thing." Hamlisch has certain influâ€" ences in his scores for definite reasons, and is skeptical of anything termed hereâ€"today gone tomorrow . "I didn‘t love punk. And it didn‘t stick around long enough. I brought work 1 t or an ght them the k with Streiâ€" anything like romantic superiaâ€" , Hamâ€" _ stylish mean there is always room for fads, but they always fade, and punk just wasn‘t solid enough. It‘s the standards and the clasâ€" sics that last longer." Hamlisch always has a score in mind, It‘s part of his rentâ€"aâ€"comâ€" poser personna, and a hilarious portion of his upcoming Centre show. Hamlisch is adamant in the fact he is not doing any albums, or collaborations. "I‘m not in that business right now.
