I felt your poltergeist presence in the frame of the bed

I slept, finally, something like ten hours last night. I'm not sure how much it makes up for the absolutely no sleep I was getting all the rest of this week, but I'm certainly not going to send it back.

The table of contents for Not One of Us #46 is extremely promising: time_shark, cucumberseed, strange_selkie, and rose_lemberg to name only a few. I have a pair of poems. You should order a copy.

Why is there no readily available recording of David Tamkin's The Dybbuk (1951)? The premiere was recorded; it's not as though the New York City Opera is a minor company or obscure. There appear to be some contemporary excerpts on CD from the Milken Archive, but what good does that do me if I turn out to want the rest? I'd never heard of the opera until this afternoon.

There's also an Italian opera called Il Dibbuk, isn't there? I examined the score once at the JTS library, probably over a decade ago.

Here's the link to the catalog-record.

Yes; premiered 1934, by a composer I'd never heard of. What did you think of the music?

That's funny. I've examined the same copy of the score when I was working for these guys.

sovay if you don't have luck with calling the folks at Milken, check the catalog at JTS, as well as the ones at the music library at Lincoln Center, and the BBC (these were my primary resources for operas on Judaic and Biblical themes when I was working the job referred to above).
