don't like blood in a musical
never liked sweeney todd
just too heavy
the revenge aspect annoys me
could never warm up to it
never inspired me
assasins was the same way
never, never inspired me
great works inspire people
listen to fiddler on the roof
who can care about such demons
I write musicals and plays
with music the writing comes alive
it grabs you, has great emotional strength
it can be poetic
and when you can sing the music you heard, that's the beauty of it.
i am interested in knowing about bands that were popular before 1923.
are there any recordings of those bands?
where did they perform?
what famous singers sang with them?
and what composers wrote for them?
A VERY GLORIOUS TIME NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN.
how about for next time, theater music
for your next corporate event maybe you'll include some theater music
or classical
real dramatic stuff to add to the event
i write theater music
i know it can add something
make people think
maybe instrumental music
or vocal
how beautiful
who was your favorite singer from the past
who would sing from time to time on the radio
or who should have been on the radio
a singer who had a special quality
who was like a friend to you
a singer you miss hearing today
such feeling in the voice
real warmth
a comforting feeling
depth...
are the clubs and cafes of today like the old bars of yesterday?
NO, they are different.
who of you remember the old bars
not noisy, not horns honking and gangs, no loud music to disturb . . .
they were family oriented
do any of you remember those old neighborhood bars
are there any...
kitty carlisle hart was a great entertainer
her passing was a great loss
she was a legend
what can you say about her
where did you see her perform
she could dazzle an audience
so talented was she
radio dramas again
it would be wonderful if radio again had great dramas
to replace some of the bad music you hear
and the boring talk show
nothing like great drama
let's hope for that.
but who would sponsor that
that would be a big, big problem.
money is always a problem.
so very sad.
should a broadway musical have beautiful melodies
is the story more important to you
should there be a star in the show to sell tickets
or should the musical be innovative and artstic and have something
important to say
what makes a musical great
long ago and far away
what can you say about that distant tikme
are you too young to remember
but you could pick up a book and read about it
the glories and defeats
the special charms
the great people
who dazzled us . . .
musical theater
greetings to you people interested in the finer things in life
my great interest is musicals
especially in finding a way to produce a musical
it aint easy
but it should happen if it's a good work
melodic, a story line, great characters,
and timing is so important for a...
no good broadway singers around?
older broadway type singers can still sing but the shows being produced do not have parts for them. parts like in the wonderful shows of the past which did not rely on sound and mikes. i think technology ruined it for broadway.
regarding broadway music
yes the actors and directors want to work on better shows
but the money people want
things that sound very commercial
they very rarely think of needing artistic things.
broadway is in a sad state.
even off-broadway is becoming quite commercial.
.
broadway music should be played on the radio
the lyrics you hear on radio now are awful
you just hear sounds and beats
and same singing style
all sound alike
regarding fats waller lyrics
those fats waller lyrics are marvelous.
too bad the music on the radio you hear today is so bad.
and the music you hear is bad.
most of it.
it's just sounds and beats.
very boring. very, very boring.
