[Mb-hair] Not Woof on the Off-Broadway album

[richard haase]

Not Woof on the Off-Broadway albumANY CONFIGURATION OF HAIR WAS to some extent plastique and operant

even in the master scripts that one would get directly from jerry and jimmy; there were explicit indications of this

the pt being

that who sung what and to some minor extent ( as the play was riddled with places / moments were ad libbing was specifically indicated by the authors ) what was said and what was said by whom changed based on the casting at a given moment, the size of the tribe and the current political events en vivo; eg the original LBJ in initials who saw the youth of america on LSD became " Tricky Dick " who saw LBJ on LSD ( this difference was notable between when i first saw the show in 1968 and then again at the end of 1969 )

  I guess this may have varied from performance to performance but on the off Broadway recording it's definitely a female voice. Towards the end of track 17 on the on the Original Off-Broadway cast album. The credits say 'Jill O'Hara and company', so maybe  it is Jill.


  It's track 17, three minutes in - someone (Claude?) says "I will vanish" and then we hear 'Look at the Moon" about five times.


  Peace

    If my memory serves me right, it's Woof who says "look at the moon."
