Note

Ah, thank you for directing me to that. Forgive me for not even thinking to check there. Though I am looking for performances that can be found on YouTube (admittedly partially for convenience) and video quality isn't exactly a concern.

No problem, and since you’ve specified that you were looking specifically for YouTube, I can give a fuller answer, since that’s different than videos uploaded to MEGA accounts and such. I’m sometimes hesitant to link to YouTube videos though, since those accounts can get taken down fairly quickly, so what you might get in a couple of months is a post full of dead links, but here’s a couple that seem to have stayed online for a while:

Patti LuPone in Company, coming to Broadway

Katrina Lenk, from The Band’s Visit, will be the star in the Broadway production of Company

Coming to Broadway this season: Katrina Lenk and Patti Lupone will star in a “re-gendered” revival of “Company” (which was a hit in London), opening at Bernard Jacobs Theater on March 22nd — Stephen Sondheim’s 90th birthday. It is the latest addition to an exciting new Broadway season that starts this month.

Coming to Hollywood in 2039: Richard Linklater, the filmmaker who made “Boyhood” over 12 years, has announced he will film Sondheim/George Furth musical “Merrily We Roll Along” over 20 years, starring Blake Jenner, Beanie Feldstein and Ben Platt. The musical, if you recall from the latest revival earlier this year, follows three old friends backwards in time, from their cynical adult selves to their idealistic youth dreaming of future artistic success.

Richard Linklater is 59, so this is an optimistic project

Senators Ask for Antitrust Probe in Concert Ticketing

Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota — both Democrats — called the ticket industry “broken” and complained of “exorbitant fees and inadequate disclosures” in the ticket buying process….“The Ticketmaster-Live Nation merger has contributed to consumers’ difficulties in the ticketing market.”

Broadway’s Women of Color on confronting racism and reshaping theater

A reminder, despite all the fine words spoken these days around increasing diversity and inclusion, “of how much work still needs to be done.”

“Do I think that Broadway is an old bastion of white, patriarchal supremacy? Yes, but I think the entire culture is, so how is Broadway going to get away from where we are as a nation? It’s not. I think we have to push it.” Cracks are appearing in this edifice, “but how much is Broadway willing to risk and sacrifice to achieve true diversity?” – Dominique Morisseau

Concord Music Group Shakes Up Theatrical Licensing

Since 2017, the independent music company has snapped up Tams-Witmark, Samuel French and the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization etc…Concord’s theatrical division now encompasses everything from “A Chorus Line” to “Fences” to “Fun Home” to “Oklahoma!” to “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

Congratulations to @leahnanako, awarded the Francesca Primus Prize + 10,000 for her play “Two Mile Hollow.” The prize by @Theatre_Critics & Primus Foundation is given annually to an emerging woman playwright.

“Will the Circle Be Unbroken”

7 april 2017

De mannen hebben er zin in deze frisse en stralende ochtend al is dat aan hun gezichten niet te zien. Die hebben nog even nodig om weer in de plooi te komen. Er komt waarschijnlijk een dag dat het allemaal niet meer recht trekt. Tegen die tijd zullen ze een cowboyhoed dragen die de schaduw over de geleefde gezichten zal laten vallen. Voor ontbijt haalt Henk twee footlong Subway’s (op één voet kan je niet lopen). Die zijn zo groot en zo zwaar beladen dat ze tevens als lunch en misschien zelfs als avondeten kunnen dienen. De reis gaat nu niet over de toppen van de Blue Ridge maar door de vallei. Een harmonieus natuurlandschap trekt aan de ogen van beide natuurliefhebbers voorbij. Om echt een te worden met de omgeving en de natuur wagen ze zich van de snelweg af (Call of the Wild) en sturen de auto langs de oevers van snelstromende beekjes waar de lenteplantjes ontluiken en de tijd even stilstaat. Henk heeft er oog voor en legt met toewijding de mooiste taferelen vast met zijn speciale apparatuur. Wat een aandacht en concentratie!

Na drie minuten hebben de heren het wel weer gehad met het beekje. Er is verwarring over de eerstvolgende bestemming, Bristol. Dat ligt in Virginia weet Gerard zeker. Henk twijfelt niet aan zijn topografische kennis, maar de navigatie geeft toch echt Tennessee aan! Gerard gelooft meer in zichzelf dan in de TomTom in rijdt zijn eigen route. Daar kan geen TomTom aan tippen. Het blijkt dat de grens tussen de staten recht door Mainstreet loopt. Links ligt Virginia, rechts Tennessee. Volgens Gerard is het precies omgekeerd. Tja, het is maar net vanaf welke kant je de straat in rijdt.

In Haarlem speelde in het Patronaat enkele maanden terug een bandje uit Knoxville: The Black Lillies. De zanger van de band was een alleraardigste jongeman. Als tegenprestatie voor de aankoop van een cd schreef hij voor Gerard op een A4-tje wat highlights op van Tennessee.

Een daarvan was het museum ‘The Birthplace of Country Music’ in Bristol. Eigenlijk is het museum gebouwd rond één gebeurtenis. In 1927 reisde Ralph Peer, uitgerust met draagbare opname apparatuur, naar Bristol om daar in twee weken 76 nummers op te nemen met 19 verschillende lokale artiesten waaronder Maybelle Carter (de latere schoonmoeder van Johnnie Cash) en Jimmie Rodgers. Deze opnames zijn later beschreven als de allerbelangrijkste gebeurtenis in de historie van de country music omdat het de country music als muzieksoort op de nationale kaart zette. Een van de nummers uit die opnames was het legendarische ‘Will The Circle Be Unbroken’.

Bij binnenkomst vallen de Dutch cowboys met hun rode neus in de boter. Er start over 5 minuten een live radioshow met Driftwood, een countryband uit New York. Zes nummers en een interview en de heren zitten zo dicht bij de band dat ze de instrumenten zelf hadden kunnen bespelen. Prachtig om de precisie van deze akoestische band van zo dichtbij te zien en horen. Boven draait een korte film waarin verschillende artiesten een eigen versie van ‘Will the circle be unbroken’ vertolken en wie schetst de verbazing van Gerard en Henk? Tussen Willie Nelson en Johnnie Cash zingt die zanger, die hen tipte naar deze plek te gaan, zijn eigen versie. Dan kun je met recht zeggen dat ‘de circle rond is’.

Het is al in de middag als de tocht zich in de bergen voortzet, op zoek naar Devil’s Bathtub, een gat in de grond waar Gerard zijn oog op heeft laten vallen. Waar hij het plaatje gezien had weet hij niet precies meer en op de kaart is het helemaal niet terug te vinden. Heerlijk zoeken zo.

Gelukkig is er een lokale vrachtwagenchauffeur die de mannen met een stuk hout in zijn hand (voor de zekerheid lijkt het, er komt hier normaal geen mens, laat staan een toerist) de weg wijst. Na twee betonnen bruggetjes linksaan houden tot de weg overgaat in een dirtroad. Het klinkt logisch en simpel maar al na de eerste bocht rijdt Gerard een kamp van de Methodist Church in. Vervolgens wordt het pad nog smaller en resteert een soort trailerpark. Het gevoel ongenodigde gast zijn dringt zich wel heel erg op. Gerard denkt een ‘hillbillie’ met een hagelgeweer waar te nemen. Keren en wegwezen is de enige optie.

Als de juiste weg weer gevonden is, over de creek links aanhouden, rijden ze een bospad op dat langzaam verandert in een jungle van met water gevulde kraters. De mannen willen wel maar de auto vindt het zo ver genoeg. Te voet verder is de enige optie.

Die optie vervalt als een waarschuwingsbord de dreigingen opsomt die de voetganger hier te wachten staat: copperheads, rattlesnakes en beren. Dit nog afgezien van uitdroging, botbreuken en valgevaar. GPS of een telefoon werkt hier sowieso niet. Over een uur wordt het ook nog eens donker. Dan moet je hier niet meer zijn, had de vrachtwagenchauffeur gezegd.

Dat de Devil’s Bathtub dan niet interessant meer is, lijkt dan ook een logisch besluit. Vastgelopen in de natuur, wie had dat gedacht.

Vandaag nog Knoxville bereiken is geen optie meer. Voor eten en slapen terug naar Bristol is de enige logische weg. Een ribeye, een fles wijn en een goed gesprek aan de bar met een vrouw die op Pocahontas lijkt, brengt de nacht.
