When I was in grade school between 1951 and 1957, I remember a field trip to an afternoon children's concert with the Cincinnati Symphony conducted by Max Rudolf. When I was in college, I sang in the chorus of Händel's Messiah that he conducted. He was a wonderful man. Then came Bernstein and his TV programs, and I guess my first knowledge of a show conductor was Franz Allers, from the recordings of My Fair Lady and Camelot and a fantastic Merry Widow. By the time I was in college, Allers was conducting the Lincoln Center productions, including their recordings of Merry Widow, Show Boat, etc., produced by Richard Rodgers. After that, he recorded some classic German operettas in German for EMI.

I still have Max Rudolf's book "The Grammar of Conducting", bought in my first year at school. Just took it off the shelf and it looks as great as ever. What I didn't remember is that it has a foreword by George Szell.

DR Elmore has indeed jogged my memory re Broadway. I remember getting to know the name Franz Allers - definitely from the Lincoln Center recordings, and possibly the earlier ones. For me, back then, he was "one of those names" that became familiar -- even if I didn't really know exactly what they did. Like Albert Sirmay. And Trude Rittmann.

I've not remembered a lot of dreams lately, but last night I dreamed that I was working on a revival of Threepenny Opera at the Theater de Lys. The musical director playing piano, harmonium, and celesta, was our DR ChasSmith. I remember little of the dream now except the trombonist could not find his music for "The Ballad of Dependency," and one of the saxophone players was a woman.

Quote
50 years ago, singer-songwriter Stephen Stills met singer-songwriter Judy Collins, known for her piercing ocean blue eyes. Their tumultuous love affair would later be immortalized by Stills with his composition “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” performed by Crosby, Stills & Nash on their landmark debut. Both artists would go on to shape modern music with visionary approaches, but Stills and Collins’ short fiery union remains a transformative era for the two artists.

Now the two icons of folk will celebrate the golden anniversary of their formative time together. Their joint tour marks the first time ever Stills and Collins have been onstage together. For this once in a lifetime experience, the two music legends will pull from their rich catalogs, debut songs from their duet album, and share warm and intimate stories from their journeys and the 1960s folk and Laurel Canyon scenes they helped build.

Wow! I am very jealous!! Enjoy!!

Thanks, Vixmom! I expect that I will!

Great dream, DR Elmore. Wouldn't I love to do Threepenny someday. I never have, and what's odd is that I can't recall being aware that anyone has done it in my area since I've lived here.

Once again, this will make me get out my score and recordings. But where was somebody just talking about this recently? Must have been in one of the Facebook groups.

Looks like Beto O'Rourke said some questionable things in a theater review in high school.

I don't think Keto ever was a theater critic.

Or that Keto even saw "Will Rogers Follies."

Do you suppose this was in the casting call listing?

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep finally. Very rough night with the back pain - was up at five for an hour. Now on the phone with Apple.

So, continuing. Back is still wonky but not horrible. We uninstalled the problem mailbox and reinstalled so that's now trying to load in the 56,000 e-mails - once that's done I'm gonna nuke some stuff the HELL out of there. I only have two-and-a-half hours before I have to leave, which is a little nutty.

Tonight, my colleague on How to Succeed . . . and some friends are taking me to dinner for my birthday. I'll return later.

So, continuing. Mail is still doing its thing with now 100,000 messages - have no idea what that's about other than each mailbox has its requisite number of e-mails - maybe it's all the saved stuff or maybe it's the server. But happily the main account on AOL is now synching again with the phone, so that's good.

Time Machine back-up still isn't working - clearly something amiss and we did the thing where I sent them all the files concerning Time Machine and things that might be getting in the way of the back-ups.

That was very slow.
