"Though, at 96, close to becoming a centenarian, Carlisle still toured and performed with gusto; her act consisted of anecdotes about the many great men in American musical theatre history that she has known, notably George Gershwin, who proposed marriage (according to a recent interview in American Heritage magazine), Irving Berlin, Kurt Weill, Oscar Hammerstein, and Frederick Loewe, interspersed with a few of the songs that made each of them famous."

"In 2006 alone, Carlisle racked up performances at Feinstein's at the Regency in New York City, in St. Louis, Missouri, Atlanta, Georgia, and at the famed Plush Room in San Francisco."
