My first Kander and Ebb sighting was the song My Coloring Book on one of Barbra's early albums (her first?) and I Don't Care Much either on the same album or a later one. I know I heard at least some of Flora, the Red Menace on LP or on The Ed Sullivan Show, but it was, of course, Cabaret, the LP, that put them in my pantheon. And when I saw that electrifying opening number on the very first televised Tony Awards, well, it was a life changer.

DR John G., I like my Kander and Eggs over easy.

But I'll be OK. Really.

On that same trip we toured then-new Lincoln Center, including the performing arts division of New York Public Library. That's where I decided to pursue a career as a librarian.

I love that!!

The first Kander and Ebb on stage was Cabaret at the Ahmanson, with, yes, Signe Hasso, and also Leo Fuchs, Robert Salvio (the best Emcee ever - he did the musical of Billy Budd - Billy - at the Billy Rose Theater, a one-night disaster, and then he died very young), Melissa Hart (who I eventually recorded on one of the Unsung Musicals albums), Gene Rupert, and David Rounds. Then a year later at the Music Center it was the pre-Broadway The Happy Time. I've been hooked ever since, but don't love everything they wrote.

Ok DR Druxy, but missing out on VICE RAID would be an insult to classic movie history.

Hmmm...or maybe the movie itself is an insult to classic movie history. Well, whatever....it is still lots of fun!

So, what haven't you liked? Individual songs or whole shows?

I will miss the 8 pm. Mamie Van Doren movie....Untamed Youth (but DR MBARNUM has sent me that on DVD) - I will arrive home during THE BEAT GENERATION and get to see the rest of the Mamie-Palooza....including GUNS, GIRLS, AND GANGSTERS, which I have never seen.

Joan Olander says her movie name is a combination of Mamie (Eisenhower) and (Charles) Van Doren - both 1950's icons.

Still, it's best not to be too amused. It might hurt some feelings.

DR Jrand62, I don't know how you have time to watch any movies, what with working, directing a show, and learning [a lot of] lines for another show.

And now you are... a vision in green!

I bet that you are familiar with some songs from Cabaret like: Willkommen, Mein Herr, Maybe This Time , or Cabaret .

I changed my avatar to a lovely Aura Photograph showing my good health and prosperity.... to balance it, here is a picture of my ten year old self with my cousins Carol and Daryl at the Smith family reunion in 1960. For some reason, I think my shorts had a print lining ... I do not remember the details.

What is puzzling to me is that no one in my family OR Carol & Daryl's family are related to anyone named Smith. I don't know what we were doing there. It was 1960 and the newest car I see there is a 1955 or 1956 Buick....so obviously the Smiths were not up to date. I am sure I was wearing flipflops.

Maybe you arrived at the wrong reunion, DR Jrand, and stayed for the food.

Is anyone planning to see WORLD WAR Z?

I am hoping to see it this weekend. Looks good as mindless entertainment, if nothing else.

It takes me so long to read through a page of posts, now, because I have to stop each time and read all of DR Ron Pulliam's quotes.

UPS has dropped off the paper and my day at Toyland is over.

I may stay and tape "Don't Ask Me Not To Sing," which is the longest number in the score.

I saw the same cast of CABARET as BK on tour in Cincinnati around 1966; the original production was absolutely wonderful. The last revisal at the Roundabout was far too tawdry, an example of naughty boys saying "look, mommy, aren't we being dirty?" The degeneracy of Berlin in that deliberately raunchy production had so much more to do with the director's and choreographer's psychosexual fantasies - buffed well-buiult boys in leather and scrawny, skanky crack ho's with unshaved armpits - but I found it musically sloppy, ridiculously louche, and acted and directed with sledgehammer subtlety, and it was a hit. They're bringing it back.
