DR Michael G, in March or April 2001, the late conductor John McGlinn asked me to join a project he was supervisng for the Packard Humanities Institute. The project, which I thought would last longer than my lifespan was to record the music of Jerome Kern and Victor vHerbert. Believing this would by the job that I would last until I died, I accepted. I would be the Victor Herbert editor and my friend Russell Warner would do the same for the Kern scores. The project spent a lot of money: everyone flew to London first class, recording fees were high, and we stayed in a West End ffive-star hotel. The first week of June 2001, I flew to London to be musical editor of a near-complete recording of Babes in Toyland, recorded ar Abbey Road Studio with the London Sinfonietta. On the first day of recording, at the first break, a handsome red-haired gentleman came up to me and asked, "This music is terrific. What is this piece?" It was the first trumpet, John Wallace. and that was the beginning of our friendship. I was in London until the beginning of July.
I returned to London in early September to record at Henry Wood Hall Victor Herbert's rather poor score for The Lady of the Slipper, I the second day of recoding was on the infamous 9/11. By the end of those sessions, McGlinn was asked to leave the project. As of today, the four Kern and two Herbert shows flot around as bootlegs; they have never been released commercially.

Well...let's see....what does everyone think - if you even have an opinion - about Concord Theatricals becoming nearly the ONLY place where you can get rights to so many plays and musicals?

Well not quite day.
And it turns out I had pressed a button on the remote and power button at the same time....which means I just needed to press the power button and the tv button at the same time and all would have been well.
Oh well now things have been dusted that had not been moved or dusted in five years.

I can't make an appointment at this lab. I got lucky and was the second person in line. When I left there was a fairly long queue waiting to check in. I suspect they arrived at 8:00 thinking that is when the lab opened. I thought the same but still arrived early. They opened at 7:00. I'll have to try and remember that next time.
