[Mb-hair] Benefit Jan 31

[Robert Camuto]

It truly was an amazing experience.  Getting to sing that incredible score with all of those incredible singers was as much fun as the Be-In this past September.  The audience response was amazing considering that more than half of them weren't even born when HAIR was playing.  The food was great, two of the opening acts were brilliant and the HAIR band was so inspiring that it made us sing even better than we thought we could.  I was so nervous at first but Zenobia Conkerite's soulful version of Aquarius made my adrenaline pump and the next thing I knew the show was over.  Special treats of the evening besides Ms. Zenobia were, Dale Soules' "MC duties and here wonderful version of "AIR", Ron Shetler's very powerful "WHERE DO I GO", and Ula Hedwig's' amazing "EASY TO BE HARD".  Ula filled in for the ailing Heather Mac Rae and got one rehearsal on the day of the show.  Marjorie Mudra Lipari and Debbie Andrews did Frank Mills beautifully as a duet, and original cast members Nat
 alie
 Mosco, Donnie Burks, Ms Lipari and Robert "I" Rubinsky (formally know as Diane Keaton, and who FINALLY has gotten his Turrets Syndrome under control) led us in 3500.  The other big surprise was the appearance of Tom O'Horgan right before the HAIR cast started it's portion of the show.  The show was dedicated to the late Coretta Scott King and the late Wendy Wasserstein. The cast was also given the chance to mention the names of other departed tribe members at that point.  It was a wonderful and emotional evening and I'm sorry it's over.
