Good morning, all! In yesterday's mail I got the new biography of Jerry Orbach, and I stayed up way too late reading it. It isn't very good; the author cannot even title the photos correctly: that's Jerry as Macheath in the 1955 THREEPENNY OPERA, not as the Streetsinger.
Yesterday could have been horrendous but it ended up a nice 6-hour session, playing through the vocal score and discussing EILEEN, My friend Greg Jarrett played piano for four hours and then the last two were discussions about the recording, the Herbert recordings we've done, etc. I was quite happy with the day's events.
This afternoon, laundry and mopping the floors. Then I have work to do on this Appalachian Christmas piece. I need to see if two folksongs can be performed together.

Bye Bye Birdie
