Comment on “Bonnie & Clyde” Mugged in New York by Christopher

I am perplexed. Having attended Broadway shows for years I thought I had discerning taste. I remember Gwen Verdon in "Sweet Charity" (with a nod to Helen Gallagher), Rosemary Harris , Eva LeGallienne, and Ellis Rabb in "The Royal Family", Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou in "Sweeny Todd", Meryl Streep and Christopher Lloyd in "Happy End" (with a nod to Liz Sheridan), Julie Harris in "The Belle of Amherst", Harvey Fierstein in "Hairspray", Christopher Reeve and Swoosie Kurtz in "The Fifth of July", Robert Duvall in "American Buffalo", Yul Brynner in "The KIng and I", William Daniels and John Cullum in "1776", Sarah Jessica Parker in "Annie", and Frank Langella in "Dracula" – I will now remember Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan in "Bonnie and Clyde" – all critics finding fault either lack credibility – or I have no taste. See this show!

Comment on What’s next for Leif Bjaland–and the Sarasota Orchestra? by Joe Smoe

The Truth is, he isn’t a great conductor and is never going to be one. The Sarasota Orchestra was the greatest job he could ever hope for, but in the end he was always going to be a drag on the orchestra musically, and his personality is not one of a true leader. His resume saying he is an "Orchestra builder" is a laugh. The City of Sarasota and the Orchestra organization is really developing. So the S.O. needs a new young talented conductor to take them to the next level. The reason why the orchestra has blossomed in the past 15 years is NOT because of Leif. It’s because the orchestra has been able to hire fantastic young players to replace the old musician who were previously part of a glorified community orchestra. If he were "so talented" a conductor, he wouldn’t have such a difficult time getting a new Music Director position. The truth is, he can’t get another job, because he is certainly not good, and FAR from talented. He is somewhere between average and adequate. He can conduct a nice community orchestra in who cares Connecticut, and should be thankful to have such a position.

Some 33 years ago, I stayed at the San Pietro in Positano. Carlo Cingue, the owner then, was my host. Glad to know the hotel still thrives. One of the most unique hotels in the world; superb food and service. Thanks for the memory.

We certainly share the same feelings about this magical, faraway feeling place. Enjoy the experience and your special birthday – whatever number it is. And, where is the puppy ? No doggy day care at Villa d’Este ? You’ll celebrate with him when you return to the states. Have fun.
