Hi, Dave. Guess you may have heard that I did a great deal of research on a Withers angle that has only been touched on by others. I always wanted to get it published, and folks like Tom Bogar have urged me to get it done. Unfortunately, I am bogged down in so many things that I haven’t been able to do it. That’s so frustrating, since all of my research has been completed and even typed up –as a ms. for a slide talk I used to give. As Ralph Kramden said to Alice, “One of these days.”
I am directing a revival of the play Our American Cousin. Can you tell me where I might find documentation of the music selections used for the play? Steven Lampredi, New Old Theater
Steven,
I would recommend you contact Richard Sloan at emma1231@optonline.net. He is an expert on William Withers, the orchestra director at Ford’s, and would be the best bet for getting the information you seek. Good luck!
