Good morning, all! I just finished reading the remainder of yesterday's posts, so I wanted to add one more great Christmas play I cannot believe I forgot:
THE BUSINESS OF GOOD GOVERNMENT by John Arden, a British one-act published in the late 1960s by Grove Press; King Herod's dilemma: it's the business of good government to ensure peace on earth, but it's just not possible. It's a wondefyl piece.
Secondly, Nurse Jane, I'm sending out good vibes and wishes for Echo! I may even go over to the Catholic Church across the street and light a candle!
Today's topic: the first instrumentals I remember hearing are "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" and "The Poor People of Paris." I believe my favorite, which got some airplay in the mid-1960s, is the Boston Pops wonderful version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
