Dark Lady
Today is the feast of St. Sarah,
patron saint of the Gypsies.
In her honor, as well as that of
Bob Dylan and Rosanne Cash,
whose birthdays are today,
here are a picture and
two songs.

A song for Rosanne Cash:
A song for Bob Dylan:
Curtain up, light the lights,
You got nothin’ to hit
but the heights!
(The original cast album
of “Gypsy” was recorded
on St. Sarah’s Day, 1959.)
(The photo was found
during a search
for the phrase
“great gray space.”

by John Updike

ART WARS: That Old Devil Moon |
|
From The New York Times, Wed., Jan. 1, 2003:
Richard Horner, 82,
Broadway Producer, Is DeadRichard Horner, a Broadway theater owner and producer who won a Tony Award for the 1974 revival of Eugene O'Neill's "Moon for the Misbegotten," died on Saturday [December 28, 2002] at his home in Palm Springs, Calif. He was 82.
According to one source, the O'Neill revival opened on December 28, 1973 — the same date on which the life of one of its producers was later to close.
From a CurtainUp review:
The revival at the Morosco was dubbed by its company "The Resurrection Play" since Jason Robards undertook the part just after a near fatal car accident and its legendary director José Quintero had just given up drinking.
According to the Internet Broadway Database, this revival, or resurrection, took place officially not on December 28 — the date of Horner's death — but, appropriately, a day later.
At any rate, O'Neill's title, along with my weblog entry of December 28, 2002,
"On This Date," featuring Kylie Minogue,
suggests the following mini-exhibit of artistic efforts:
