Good morning, all! I have to be at Toyland around 11 to interview a candidate for office manager; last month we sadly lost the wonderful Matthew Brookshire who's off to bigger and more exciting ventures.
As soon as my CD of ANYA arrived, I opened the carton and read the liner notes; I wish there had been made two or three less paragraphs about the writer of the notes and a synopsis of the show. Knowing that Mr Abbott wanted a love triangle and trying to fit the great Irra Petina, who was added to the show, needed some help in figuring out what had been done to a play I'd read a century ago and the film version I've seen maybe twice.
I stayed up to watch President Obama on the Jay Leno show, and then I read a bit more of Lewis Stadlen's wonderful biography. I recommend it. I got through the turmoil of MINNIE'S BOYS, working with Same Levene and Jack Albertson in THE SUNSHINE BOYS, the revival of CANDIDE, and I think that's when I passed out.
I'm currently copying the world's longest piano part for Mr Raines' concert.
