PAGE 3 JOHN CAGE 4' 33" DANCE

In a continuation of William F. Orr Doesn't Recognize Celebrity, previous episodes of which can be recounted to you by vixmom with much bemusement, I spent about two hours talking to John Cage and only learned at the end of the evening with whom I had been chatting. Sometime in 1972 in Milwaukee.

It's a rip off of the classic Jobim tune Waters of March.

JMK · « **Reply #73 on:** April 02, 2009, 08:54:46 AM »

Which of course leads me to my endlessly repeated anecdote of the night Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77, who first recorded the song in the US, did it live on the Tonight Show and Bonnie Bowden went completely up on the lyric. Since it's a stream of consciousness thing, with an endlessly repeating melody, she just stood there humming for a minute or two as Gracinha continued to sing the lyric, looking a bit exasperated. It was hilarious.

I'm curious if Steve Allen came up with his catchword courtesy of Nelson Riddle's middle name.

Actually they do. At least in the original version.

-And there are two "official" versions: the original, and a revised.

And since "4'33" - I. Tacet" was part of iTunes Free Discovery Download series, I'm wondering if it was meant as an April Fool's joke. Prolly.

*And I do recommend checking out the Free Downloads on iTunes each week (each Tuesday). There's usually one "pop" download, one "Discovery Download", and one video - in addition to the free movie trailers and TV-show clips. It's been an easy way to check out some artists and types of music I might have not otherwise considered. -And the "Discovery Download" even features a "vocal" and "classical" track every now and then.

Quote from: William F. Orr on Tuesday 03/31/09 08:03:31
TOD: When I saw the 25th revival of West Side Story, both Riff and Tony were out that night, and I saw the understudies, who I thought were fabulous. I didn't realize until I was going through my Playbills a few years ago that the Tony I saw was Brent Barrett, also known hereabouts as the Sexiest Man Alive, and the Riff was Jerry Kolker, also known hereabouts as What ever happened to Jerry Kolker?

So you see, some of us do read the notes, BK, so you needn't get all tetchy.

First of all, Brent Barrett is known as the "World's Sexiest Man Alive" and secondly, could your Jerry Kolker be the same Jerry Colker who co-wrote the musical, Three Guys Naked From The Waist Down, with the lovely Michael Rupert?

Yes. And yes. But why limit BB to the world?

My memory of Jerry Colker:

When I went to the first meeting of my class in the Lehman Engel BMI Workshop, and we were picking composer-lyricist teams for our first assignment, I was disappointed to learn that Jerry Colker was a lyricist, not a composer. Because he was hot. Spelled H. O. T. Not just hot, but !!‼ HOT !!‼

Well, Jerry never came back to Workshop after that first day.

He got the part of Lewis in Pippin where Michael Rupert was playing Pippin, and went thence to 3 Guys and thence to Whatever Happened to Jerry Colker? Status

Well, and I quote from bk's Notes:

"but the men and young men in this film are terrible – every one of them."

Did someone say free? Do you have to have an iTunes account?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #82 on:** April 02, 2009, 09:20:58 AM »

And speaking of Jerry Colker:

The YODO Total Fitness System Created by Jerry Colker

"JERRY COLKER

I'll start at the beginning of my journey.

At Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, I was an All-League gymnast.

I then competed in gymnastics for Harvard University.

In fact, I alone, was the entire Harvard gymnastics team, but that's another story.

I came to New York, determined to perform on Broadway and so I immersed myself in ballet and jazz dance classes with the top teachers in the city: Joffrey Ballet, Finish Jhung, Don Farnworth, Luigi, Rhett Dennis and others. I had the good fortune of working with Bob Fosse in "Pippin," Michael Bennett in "A Chorus Line," and I played the role of "Riff" in the Broadway revival of "West Side Story" for Jerome Robbins. Coming back to Los Angeles, I studied Kung Fu and T'ai Chi with James Wing Woo. I then earned my black belt in Tae Kwon Do studying with Jun Chong and Philip Rhee. For many years I also tutored, coached and taught gymnastics and martial arts."...

OMG!!!!!

But that's a good "OMG". I think.

*And there are pics and video clips too!

You do have to have an iTunes account, but the free downloads are just that, Free.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #84 on:** April 02, 2009, 09:29:33 AM »

So, now that we know that Jerry Colker is alive and well and living in Los Angeles...

And I think I've told this story before, but...

When Virginia Commonwealth University decided to mount a production of Three Guys Naked from the Waist Down, the director and I tried to contact Michael Rupert and Jerry Colker since we wanted to see if they were interested in writing some updates to the script and score - mainly for the "American Dream" sequence which was basically a musical time-travel sequence. We got a hold of Michael, but no one could find Jerry Colker. No one. We even got a hold of his original agent at William-Morris, and he had no idea where he was.

Well... Thanks to Google...
