Does anyone else love when Kelli sings this in "The Beauty Is" ??
...actually, I love the way Kelli sings EVERYTHING! SO this is just a place to talk about her tremendous talent! :)

I didnt realize she sang that (or was from there)... I knew they were from NC but I never even thought about the city!
I think I am going to by the CD for my birthday because I feel like I am missing out!

Posted: 6/20/05 at 5:52pmYeah, I live in Durham, and when I heard that I was like "how cool!" But even cooler, Victoria Clark is from Durham.

I live about 20 minutes from Winston and was so confused as to why someone would be posting about it. LOL
But, yeah, still haven't heard any Piazza. Carry on.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 6:04pmDon't have AOL. I'd be excited to hear it once I can scrounge up enough cash to buy the OCR. I got really excited when I hear the Orchestrations acceptance speech at the Tony's about no synthesizers and such. I'll hear it someday. Heh.

It was also the childhood home of our favorite critic, Ben Brantley.
I feel like I know an awful lot about Brantley now. But I only know this because he mentioned it in his Mark Twain Tonight review recently.

I visit Winston-Salem about once a year. We have some good family friends there.
As for Kelli, I love her.

Posted: 6/21/05 at 7:28amTell me something - why does Clara call Winston Salem the land of corduroys? is that where they were invented or something?

Maybe all the boys wear them where she is from as opposed to the naked boys in Italy?

"Tell me something - why does Clara call Winston Salem the land of corduroys? is that where they were invented or something?"
Well, I have never heard of that title.... and I grew up right by W-S. But NC used to be huge on textiles so maybe you're right Redhot.
LF, that would make sense too.
I have GOT TO get this CD!
#20re: Winston-Salem
Posted: 6/21/05 at 11:15amI always took it to mean that in NC most of the men wore corduroys as opposed to how the men dressed in Italy. NC is known for textile mills and tobacco farming, so maybe that is what the workers would wear.

Posted: 6/21/05 at 12:20pmI just found it a fun and interesting lyric - and it made me curious about the area. I suppose it could be as simple as that the men in Winston Salem wear corduroys instead of going around naked like the marble statues in Italy - but I have an idea it's somehow the town where Corduroy fabric first made a spash or something, God knows how many years ago. Just as wonderfully interesting as the rest of the show - which is my new favorite.

I've been wondering about that lyric too - very curious...
I am now officially addicted to the cast album. I put it in this morning just on a whim and 6 listen-throughs later, I decided it was time to put it away for a bit.
Oh man, I need a life!
