TOD:

Shows in addition to Elmore’s:

Do I Hear a Waltz?
Anyone Can Whistle
On a Clear Day …
No Strings
Zorba
Hair

I should have included HAIR! Most of the other albuyms you list were shows I discovered in the 1970s. In collefe, I used to play in the dorm recordings of Jonathan and Darlene Edwards, Mrs Miller, and Anna Russell just to annoy my critics, of which there were many latent GOP members who thought I was weird.

Last night Vixdad and I went to see Rick Wakeman in his penultimate show in what was billed as "Final Solo Tour"

Across the street, the for sale signs are down and there is a car in the driveway. I have not seen any trucks of furniture delivered.

More news as available.

Gladys Kravitz.

About 90 minutes of Mr. Wakeman, a grand picnic and two electric keyboard set up.

I can't believe I left WEST SIDE STORY and CANDIDE off my list. In 1963 I discovered the CANDIDE OBC, bought the vocal score in 1964 and became obsessed with it. Still am.

Vixmom asked Wakeman if he ever played with a band, and he replied, “Yes.”

Yesterday I had a great Zoom interview with the CEO of Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery, who is retiring this year. He’d been in charge there since 1986. One of my favorite places.
