I'm listening to the 1960 Cast Recording of FINIAN'S RAINBOW.


They're singing "Look To The Rainbow"--such a BEAUTIFUL melody.

Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor

The new Actors' Fund Benefit HAIR recording!!

(Adam Pascal is singing "I Got Life" for about the 40th time in the past ten hours.) No, I'm not predictable.

The character 'Veda Pierce' performs that piece in her Hollywood Bowl Concert in the novel Mildred Pierce, Jose'.


VERY Interesting Selection...

HAIR???

That's SO COOL, Emcee, I haven't thought about HAIR since I saw it in the early 1970s...

La Cage - I can't say what cast, we're not supposed to talk about such things in here. Let's just say the lead got fired being naughty.

Elphaba--


Please forgive the rants of an old man--who or what is "DRS"?

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 5/1/05 at 12:22pm

Nick Drake, Hedwig?


SORRY--Again, I'm out of the loop.


May I have some details, please?

There's this new recording, M_E, from last Fall's concert. The cast is vocal brilliance.

DRS stands for "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

Oooooh...

I heard DIRTY ROUNDEL SCOUNDRELS was pretty funny and entertaining.


Any thoughts on this?

M_E: He was a folky/mellow artist. It's that kind of a Sunday morning for me.

Oh, that's SO neat, Hedwig...


I use Music to give me ENERGY, NEVER to calm me down...

"London Pride":

London Pride has been handed down to us
London Pride is a flower that's free

London Pride means our own dear town to us
And our pride it for ever will be

Woa, Liza
See the coster barrows
Vegetable marrows
And the fruit piled high

Woa, Liza
Little London sparrows
Covent Garden Market where the costers cry

Cockney feet
Mark the beat of history
Every street
Pins a memory down

Nothing ever can quite replace
The grace of London Town

There's a little city flower every spring unfailing
Growing in the crevices by some London railing

Though it has a Latin name, in town and country-side
We in England call it London Pride

London Pride has been handed down to us
London Pride is a flower that's free

London Pride means our own dear town to us
And our pride it for ever will be

Hey, lady
When the day is dawning
See the policeman yawning
On his lonely beat

Gay lady
Mayfair in the morning
Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street

Early rain
And the pavement's glistening

All Park Lane
In a shimmering gown

Nothing ever could break or harm
The charm of London Town

In our city darkened now
Street and square and crescent

We can feel our living past in our shadowed present
Ghosts beside our starlit Thames

Who lived and loved and died
Keep throughout the ages London Pride

London Pride has been handed down to us
London Pride is a flower that's free

London Pride means our own dear town to us
And our pride it for ever will be

Grey city
Stubbornly implanted

Taken so for granted
For a thousand years

Stay, city
Smokily enchanted
Cradle of our memories and hopes and fears

Every Blitz
Your resistance

Toughening
From the Ritz

To the Anchor and Crown
Nothing ever could override
The pride of London Town
