Yes, it is quite lovely outside today. My walk up Riverside Drive was quite delightful and the view of the Hudson was clear and bright and beautiful. I walked up to 100th Street and down West End Avenue. I stopped at the market, came back, defrosted the fridge, and began chicken soup. Everything's boiling away, and the apartment smells wonderful, like a Jewish grandmother's kitchen.
Ive been listening to the 1986 premiere performance of my restoration of JUBILEE and I wish Encores! would do it. The role of Karen O'Kane, based on Ginger Rogers, who sings "Begin the Beguine" and "Just One Of Those Things" is a perfect role for Kristen Chenowith. And, if encores! did it, perhaps we'd finally get a commercial recording of the show.
