Wednesday, December 29, 2004Try to remember...The headline on AOL was "Law & Order star dies," and one quickly guessed that it was Jerry Orbach, the old guy, as it were. I'd only seen about four episodes, all from the period when he was partnered with Chris Noth (Kerri's Mr. Big on Sex and the City), but had a kindly disposition toward him when I saw him channel surfing. It wasn't until seeing the articles that I realized where I knew the name from. Jerry Orbach was the original El Gallo in the Fantasticks, the guy who sings "Try to remember" and who teaches the young man and young woman enough about life that they're finally, really ready to start one together. Everybody knows the "Try to remember" bit, but the sharpest songs are probably the Rape Ballet and Round and Round/We'll Just Dance - in which he shows the young girl the good, the bad and the ugly of the world. Just my opinion of course. At any rate, let us assume the taking of one final bow by a legendary performer as we bid farewell to Jerry Orbach.
