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: [livejournal.com profile] time_shark, [livejournal.com profile] cucumberseed, [livejournal.com profile] strange_selkie, and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Sheydim-tants!!! And Cemetery Theater! And I'm getting a contributor's copy of this!!

Delighted now.

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.

And I'm so glad that you finally slept!

Hooray for sleep! I hope it's a trend.

Oh, right, that! Yes.

I can't wait to read everyone else. And I don't remember "Cemetery Theatre" by title, so I will have to meet it again in my trib copy.

Isn't that cover ooky?

I'm delighted you've slept, and hope you'll sleep again tonight.

Why is there no readily available recording of David Tamkin's The Dybbuk (1951)?

I wish I had an answer for you. I'm sorry there doesn't seem to be more than excerpts available. Surely somebody out there has ripped a copy of the vinyl, and I hope someone will be able to connect you to said files.
