Good morning, all! Today's a SHOWBOAT day at Rodgers & Hammerstein. Several years ago, I inventoried all the various versions o the show in the Annex: the Lincoln Center, the 1946 revival, the McGlinn-EMI recording, Los Angelesd Civic Light Opera, etc. I have to go in and do some housekeeping on the project this morning. I'll see a lot of friends, gossip, and get to play among materials on one of the theatre's great shows. Should be fun.
DRPogue, I loved your honest comment about DRAGONHEART; I do the same with CDs I've worked on. However, to minimize both our ego trips a smidgeon, I think a person's work is also a way of telling someone "the things I don't say about my heart, my mind, my beliefs and attitudes are often expressed in my work and perhaps reading/litening to this will let you know a little more of my inner life."
I've passed on the following books:
TUCK EVERLASTING (fantasy and the reality/finality of death)
THE GREAT CAT MASSACRE (good approach to historical research)
COLD COMFORT FARM (Jane Austen civilizes DH Lawrence, and it's funny)
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (a comic novel that sparkles)
FAIRY TALES by Andersen and Wilde (few live happily ever after)
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS (a children's book for adults)
THE ODYSSEY (the great romantic adventure)
Plays by Shakespeare, Shaw, Wilde, Orton, and others
