Good morning, all! When I logged on and found 120+ postings for today, I fell down! I don't know where I landed on the Richter scale, but we lost several trees in Central Park.
So, how did we end up with a zillion posts last night? Is some sort of astronomical, astrological or meteorological phenomenon happening in the West Coast atmosphere?
DRJose, I have the full score for the Russell Bennett "Suite of Old American Dances" in its full orchestral version, which has never been recorded. I have a recording of the band version, performed by the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music concert band, I believe. I don't think the old Frederick Fennell/Eastman Wind Ensemble recording is on CD yet from Mercury.
Didn't Arleen Auger have a beautiful voice? She died far too young. I may have to pull some of her CDs.
Dear Friend BK, if you come back for a reading at The Drama Book Shop, I most likely won't make the event, but I do look forward to seeing you in the City.
