elmore, it's always cringing to see my spelling errors appear in other people's posts when they re-print my post. It is, of course, Nobody's Heart Belongs to Me, which I've corrected now in the original.
I, too, love BOYS FROM SYRACUSE. Do you have the complete score to BY JUPITER because you worked on a restoration recording of it...Don't I remember something about that in your unseemingly interview? If so, please refresh my memory...this is probably a recording I should have.
DRPogue, my two restorations of JUBILEE (Cole Porter) and DEAREST ENEMY (Rodgers & Hart) still await commitment to disc. At several times, Bruce and I discussed JUBILEE but I was difficult: I wanted a 2-disc set of the whole score and then an Appendix of Cole Porter songs to fill out the second disc. PS Classics has expressed an interest in recording it now since Tommy Krasker, who runs PS Classics with his partner Phillip, was my collaborator on the JUBILEE restoration. If you don't mind 3 CDs of one hour each and no tracking so it's a lot of dialogue as well as most of the score, I can send you a set of the BBC Radio-3 broadcast from Christmas week, 1999.
DEAREST ENEMY, is getting revisions from its 2002 performances at the Village Light opera Group and will hopefully go into the Rodgers & Hammerstein Theatre rentals next year (?). Perhaps, then, we'll get performances to generate a recording. I can send you a CD of excerpts from the VLOG performances (badly played but not too badly sung).
I thought of a funny Cole Porter duet Mr Haines might light, originally sung by Betty Grable and Arthur Treacher, I believe: "They Ain't Done Right By Our Nell."
"I can still recall my last affair
He was smart, he was rich, he went everywhere
Well, he did until he went to the chair
They ain't done right by our Nell" (or something like that)
