If Gilbert and Sullivan counts...
"The Ghosts' High Noon"--Ruddigore.  Perfect for Halloween, though it
doesn't mention the holiday specifically.  
Also from Ruddigore, the madrigal just before Rose and Robin marry is
about the different seasons.  But it's rather difficult and mostly a
capella--how experienced are your singers?  
An easier bridal song is the one in Mikado. "Sing a merry madrigal," which
is also very funny.

There's gotta be more, but my mind is mostly blank.  Anyway, the Ruddigore
"Ghosts' High Noon" is a superb piece--showy but not difficult, and lots
of fun for a bass or bass-baritone, with great lyrics.

What?  Me?  A G&S fanatic?  Ruddigore my favorite G&S piece?  Naaaah...

"Nymph Errant" opened at the Adelphi Theatre, London, 
on Oct 6, 1933, and ran for 154 performances.  Gertrude
Lawrence was the star, and she recorded a couple of the
songs ("Experiment", "The Physician").  Elizabeth Welch
also recorded her big number ("Solomon").  The only CD of
the complete score that I'm aware of (I've never heard it)
is a recording of a live concert from 1989 (EMI CDC 7 54079 2).

For summer, "Too Darn Hot" from Cole Porter's "Kiss Me, Kate."

For spring, "It Might As Well Be Spring" from Rodgers & Hammerstein's 
"State Fair." (Yeah, I know it's a movie, but it *is* R&H!)

For Halloween, how 'bout a real oldie? "Ghost's High Noon," from
Gilbert & Sullivan's "Ruddigore."

Hi...

	My theatre group in Leominster, Massachusetts (central Mass) is
producing the musical "The Robber Bridegroom" and we are looking for a few
country and western musicians.  Ideally, we are interested in one fiddle
player and someone who can double on banjo and guitar.

	The band will be on-stage for the performance (visible to the audience)
and the score is a *real* bluegrass challenge.  The job will involve a few
rehearsals (with and without cast), and 6 performances (November 6, 7, 13, 14,
20, and 21) and does pay.

	Anyone interested may e-mail me at the above address or phone at
508/486-6220.

	thanks...

   There are 1 or 2 Porter Bios but haven't read them...BUT i do have a 
copy of Nymph..done by Gertrude Lawrence who did it in London . 
Liner notes:
  although NE was top drawer Porter and an enormous success in London it
never got to NY. It also boasted some sensational dances by Agnes de Mille 
a good 10 years before Broadway discovered her as the choreographer of Ok-
lahoma....
   In her autobiography Ms Lawrence cited the depression as the reason NE
was not done here. No one would risk the elaborate production it demanded.

   The songs on the 10" RCA LRT 7001 recording are
    the physician
    the experiment
    How could we be wrong?
    It's bad for me
    Nymph errant
recorded in Europe October 1933
   The other side has her singing selections from Lady in the Dark
recorded in February 1941-but doesn't say where,the conductor was Leo-
nard Joy
   another collector I know sold his audio cassette ( a copy of mine) for 
500.00 so you can imagine what my record is worth. 
   I have lots of old out of print recordings It  WAS my specialty for many 
years until I just couldn't afford it any longer.
   Hope all this helps........and I don't share :>

Check out CBS this Friday night.  There's a Little Mermaid cartoon
special on at 8PM (Eastern time).  Since Jodi Benson does the voice,
you might enjoy it.  The New York Times tv listings also have her name
as a guest for CBS This Morning (or whatever the hell their morning
show is called).

As for the musical, I thought the story was hokey but I ended up
really liking the show as a whole.  I mean, c'mon, it had incredible
music, two astounding leads, and it was funny.  And then there was the
dancing (and Harry Groener doing everything short of breaking his neck).

I think this one is shown on FOX and the big 3 networks:

The GAP's "What Fits"  by Max Flag - "Sky fits heaven so..."
(lots of shots of a woman compared to a motorcycle)

I liked it the first 5 times I saw it, could tolerate it the next
14 times, but now I can't stand the commercial.  Anyone else?

'Edna' is an Australian man named Barry Humphreys. He has a variety of 
characters, but Edna is the best-known. He started out in Aus, got picked up 
by Brit tv, did a few specials on US television. (I remember seeing the 
second of the US specials, featuring Kim Basinger, Chevy Chase and Robin 
Williams. Chevy looked like he *really* regretted agreeing to come on the 
program.) I can't remember whether Edna's "Damery" is real, but I seem to 
remember that s/he *has* met the Queen. The "idiot girl" is Edna's 
bridesmaid (or some such) who has simply become part of Edna's entourage. I 
don't know who the actress is.

Yes - I got them mail order from a company called "Troll" that sells
kids stuff.  I started getting the 'Troll" catalog after sending one of
thse reply cards you get with disney video tapes.  I will find one of
these catalogs tonight and post the address and phone tomorrow.

One note though, they are packaged with opening songs by Cloris
Leachman and a bunch of kids who CAN'T SING!  these openings and
between-song segments are HORRID!

Also, the Multiplication Rock tape doesn't have "Good Eleven" or "Little
Twelvetoes"  Of course, Twelvetoes was my favorite!

There are four tapes available, Multiplication, Grammar, History and
Science.

But has anyone noticed that little Michael (and big Michael) are both

So, have there been many other commercials from far away places presented

An amazingly good miniseries-- I watched it the first time around,
and I almost never make time for miniseries.  Michael Moriarty was

I like the idea of a NEXP group--I too scan r.a.tv for the topic--but I'm
one of the folks without alt. access.  I agree with those who suggest a mailing
list for now.  Then if it is supported, move on to rec.arts.tv.nexp at a later

The group could offer a digest/summary service for those concerned about
their mailboxes clogging up.  The Seinfeld mailing list does this, and once

Just another opinion--and a good suggestion since the new tv season will

All performances are nominated on the basis of one particular show -
not an entire season.  In the older days of the EMMYs they used to
announce this as part of the nomination.  They would say:  The nominies
for best comidy actress are: Candice Bergan for "Murphy talks back
to Dan", Murphy Brown, Rosanne Arnold "Dan gets a hang nail", Rosanne
and so forth.  The producers of a show pick an episode to submit to
the EMMY board.

EMMY's are based on one show, not an entire season.

Local EMMY's (like for local news shows) are based on a random sample
of the newscasts (since it would be easy for a station to find a
real good show out of an entire year of shows).  However there is still
a problem in that the random sample may have one station on one of
their better weeks.
