Haines His Way

Hello Everyone

Hi Michael.  Good to see you here.  Hope all is well.

Funny I was going to post today after reading your book that you should get together with Richard Sherman and put together a book of lyrics a la Sondheim’s and then I hear this sad news.

Bruce,

I can't even. I've been sitting here unable to process this - even though I felt it was coming because he'd been in the hospital for a month. Grateful to have at least had our final lunch together two months ago. Much to say - but later. I encourage everyone to do what I did - listen to Hushabye Mountain.

A month

This was always going to be hard for you even though 95 mostly good years was wonderful.  I listened to Hushaby Mountain.

Sorry to hear about Richard Sherman. One of my treasures is a signed musical quote of Feed The Birds

Hello Everyone

Oh no! I just heard Richard Sherman passed today.


I am so sorry.

May he rest in peace!

Bruce, my deepest condolences. Thank you for bringing him to us through your anecdotes, photos and Two Roads.

BK, I've been on a Frederick Ashton ballet kick since watching Enigma Variations. Last night I laughed and smiled through La Fille mal Gardee again. The night before that was Ashton's version of Leo Delibes' Sylvia, which was staggering in his masterful handling of boat, soloists and corps de ballet in the Act Three opening "Le Cortege de Bacchus."

I did watch an Ashton ballet I had never seen before, The Dream, based on Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's charming and very funny. The lovers have a wonderful, comic battle, and a transformed Bottom dances on two hooves. Oberon an Titania are quite wonderful, and the music is really beautiful. I think you'd like it.

In Judi Dench’s book on Shakespeare, she calls the character Tits.
