The link below is to all the music from a Play called "The Blue Flower". I played on these recordings and many productions of the show. I'll be doing it in Ft Collins Colo in Sept/Oct.as steel player and associate consulting Musical director. It is one of the joys of my playing life. All instruments are REAL..Bassoon, cello, accordion etc. No samples. Enjoy!
best always JW
THE BLUE FLOWER – a musical by Jim and Ruth Bauer, directed by Kit Baker 9/22 – 10/16
An artist sits on a bench in Central Park putting the finishing touches on the book of his life. Suddenly his mind’s eye is thrust back to the maelstrom of events that brought him to that point and the circle of revolutionary artists and lovers who lived through them by his side – Paris in the Belle Époque, the trenches of the First World War, the Cabaret Voltaire, Berlin during the Weimar Republic. His imaginary guide leads him on a Dante-like journey back to the fateful choice that changed his life forever as an eight piece band – complete with pedal steel – takes us on a kaleidoscopic romp through history that is part Kurt Weill and part Hank Williams (“sturm n’ twangâ€). Can he find the answer he seeks? The Blue Flower, named after the symbol used by romantic poets of the 18th and 19th centuries to signify the search for artistic perfection, weaves together video, cabaret, dance, and humor into a dreamlike evocation of a quest for redemption.

John; That was beautiful (Things Don't Change). I think I remember you telling me about this awhile back. Is there a CD available? I'll give you a call in a day or 2; wanna pick your brain about a couple things. Hope you can make it down to Florida sometimes so we can ride again!

| That's really good. I'm curious as to what the composer give you for the steel parts -- notation, chord charts or what. |

I missed this when it ran at Second Stage in NYC a few years back. The fact that they put it up is a good indicator of the show's quality. Good luck John. Break a string!

I wonder why I can't view your Videos here in the UK I do have difficulty both uploading and viewing Videos, "Sorry not available in your country" the message says, surely its not Copyright.
