DR Elmore - we enjoyed the performances (and voices) of Meg Bussert and Richard Muenz in "Camelot".  Did they just go on to tour with Harris and then disappear?


Miss Meg Bussert was recently seen here:

George's White Sandals - 4/16/2007

The George White's Scandals - the peppy revue that regularly lit up Broadway in the '20s and '30s - will be brought back to life on April 16, 2007 (show at 6:30PM; buffet at 5:45PM) at the German Lutheran Church of St. Paul, located at 315 West 22nd Street.

Presented by Bandwagon, the event will be hosted by Arlene Dahl and star MEG BUSSERT       , Penny Fuller, Helen Gallagher, Joel Higgins, Sarah Rice, Jane Summerhays, Martin Vidnovic and Julie Wilson, with David Auxier, Heather Barr, Steve Cancel, Shannon Darin, Jason Esposito, Natalie Ferraro, Maurice Jackson, Adrian Li Donni, Megan Loomis, Suzanne Scott, Charly Seamon, Marian Steiner and Shorey Walker.

With musical staging by Auxier, Walker and Bjarne Buchtrup, the evening will feature twenty years of great show tunes, from 1919 through 1939. The George White's Scandals, like the famed Ziegfeld Follies and even racier Earl Carroll Vanities, was a long-lived revue that featured comedy sketches, lavish scenery and costumes, great songs (by composers such as the Gershwins and DeSylva, Brown and Henderson), and, of course, bevies of beautiful girls. The event will feature arrangements and musical direction by Mark York and will be produced and directed by Jerry Bell.

Hello everybody. Thought I'd pop in and say hey. Not much to report, just enjoying the weather and family. Going to head out and watch my cousin sing, I've never seen her live, should be interesting. Hope everybody is doing good!

I don't recommend any of my cameras. The one I've been using mostly lately has a problem with the battery connections and burns up all the batteries withing seconds. The other one has a burned lens.

The one I used today is my DH's, and it is a Nikkon, I believe.

Dogs are such great listeners DR Danise. Talking to them will be a great comfort.

Sure! They NEVER talk back! (Or front! ;))

Something sort of interesting happened to me today. I went to a huge garage sale near the local indoor pool.  Well most people had junk. But one table had all brand new scrapbook stuff for $1 each.  The sort of interesting part is that this couple lives only 2 doors down from me.

Also something cute happened after the garage sale.  I was watching my 20 month old niece while my sister was planting some flowers.  This kid is a handful. Anyhow she was going to a birthday party tonight. And i sang the verse "happy birthday to you". And wanted to hear what she sang back. Well it was one of the funniest versions of happy birthday i'd ever heard.  She sang "ha-pp-ay part-ay you you" (and she went on like that). It was so funny.

Unfortunately Richard Muenz no longer performs. He lost his singing voice. This was told to me by Alex Rybeck. They worked together in Leading Men  Can't Dance

Harris's leading lady here was Marina Pryor who did not enjoy the experience of working with him at all!

Richard Muenz is around; I worked with him last on the complete recording of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.  He's a handsome and very funny fellow.  I have this vague memory that I've seen him since 1998, but he stays busy.

Meg has one of the loveliest sopranos around.  She was Judy Kaye's standby on the show about Florence Foster Jenkins. but I haven't seen her in years.  I believe she and her family moved out of town - I ran into her on a 104 bus one day and we caught up - and I have a memory that she told me she was teaching.  I got to know her in 1981 or so when she was Marianne in a production of NEW MOON with John Reardon, Alix Korey, Debbie Gravitte and a bunch of wonderful singers.  Meg was singing high C's galore.  

I'm currently watching MUSIC AND LYRICS; my friend Adam Grupper plays Drew Barrymore's brother-in-law.  I'm laughing at the ageing boy bands and their fans, I love the Britney Spears clone and slight acquaintance Scott porter and Matthew Morrison are in it!

I would love someone to record the WHOLE score of Camelot (as in the productions of Elmore's close and personal friend who conducts things. LOL)

I actually suggested to the FAT conductor of Limitless Ego and Limited Talent that he should do it for EMI with Sarah Brightman as Guinevere, since she was an EMI artist, and Russell Crowe as Arthur, but it was not to happen.  All of the music that was cut in Toronto for The Quest sits in cartons in archive at Tams-Witmark, I understand.

I have the OBC and a London production (on LP) but never cared for the Film soundtrack.

I've been surprised that London EMI never released the Laurence Harvey West End Cast with Elizabeth Garner (?) on CD. I loved the recording.

Now there's a work of art!

I have a loooooong history with Mr Bell.  None of it good.

Was 110 after MOST HAPPY FELLA?  I worked on both.  WINDFLOWERS is where I last saw Richard!  Larry Hochman and I did the orchestrations.
