The National Music Council of the United States will honor music visionaries Ray Chew and Vivian Scott Chew at the organization's 39th annual American Eagle Awards on Sunday, June 25, 2023, at the American Federation of Musicians Convention in Las Vegas.

Of the many common features shared by the eight (thus far) plays that make up playwright/director Richard Nelson's 'Rhinebeck Panorama' series, perhaps the most unusual is that they all take place on the date of their opening night at the Public Theater.

The National Music Council will honor the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum at the 36th annual American Eagle Awards on Thursday, July 18th at the Summer NAMM Show in Nashville.

Pianist George Winston will give a tribute in honor of Guaraldi while country singersongwriter John Rich will perform in honor of Clinton, who will be on hand to receive the award.

Ironically, Miklos Laszlo's 1937 play 'Parfumerie' was not produced in the United States until 2009. Yet that did not stop the Hungarian hit from becoming the inspiration for a whole host of American films, plays and musicals: first the 1940 film, 'The Shop Around the Corner' with James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan, then in 1949 as 'In the Good Old Summertime' with Judy Garland and Van Johnson, then in 1998 as 'You've Got Mail,' with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It also inspired the 1964 musical by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, (the team behind 'Fiddler on the Roof').

Elmwood Playhouse of Nyack NY will be presenting "She Loves Me', written by Joe Masteroff (Book), Jerry Bock (Music), Sheldon Harnick (Lyrics), based on a play by Miklos Laszlos and directed by Larry Gabbard. 'She Loves Me' is considered the most charming musical ever written. 'She Loves Me' runs November 9th thru December 8th Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm with an additional Thursday performance on December 6th at 8pm and an additional matinee on Saturday December 8th at 2pm. Tickets are $29 / $27 Seniors and Students.

The older I get, the more ornery and unforgiving I become. When the American Pops Orchestra (APO), under the direction of Luke S. Frazier, played the opening bars of their Let's Misbehave: Cole Porter after Dark concert in the Fichandler at Arena Stage this past Saturday evening I was concerned.
