Well, I had a productive lunch. Why, oh, why do I go to Academy after lunch??? But I did happen across some very nice things which will provide me with listening material this afternoon.
I got The Happy Time with [/b]Robert Goulet[/b], David Wayne and "Mike" Rupert (before he became Michael Rupert).
I also got Allegro with the original cover art and CD booklet. Apparently there were two other later releases. This one uses the 1947 record cover art.
And I also got Mr. Wonderful, "a new musical comedy" starring Sammy Davis, Jr.. I have seen this record at various used record stores but didn't want to part with $50 or more. I know the CD is out of print so I was very happy to get it for a mere $15. Along with Sammy we get The Will Mastin Trio, Jack Carter, Pat Marshall, Olga James AND Miss Chita Rivera. Book by Joseph Stein and Will Glickman with music and lyrics by a trio Jerry Bock, Larry Holofgener and George Weiss.
My afternoon listening is set.
