Richard P. suggests emigration 'down under'.
As a point of fact this particular pressing of "Humpback Whales Do The
Classics" is on the much-sought after Aquamarine Label, individually
flipper-pressed by enslaved Bondai Dolphins. And I'm afraid to say that
I did after all acquire it ...
And much though I approve Richard's solution, I fear Australia wouldn't
approve me!
>But as far as I know, the nearest zarzuela company is in Spain.
Ah, now, funny Richard should say that. Only last year, David Kram's fine
company in Melbourne mounted a splendid production of "Bohemios" by Vives
- his version of Murger's "La boheme" written in 1904 - and there are plans
to do more, so the tide seems to be turning, even there.
Sad footnote. Unfortunately the latest 'Going For A Song' catalogue
arrived today from Dorchester ... ah, so they're bin-ending that Ethel
Smythe Solo Piano album I'd always wanted without knowing it ... here we
go again!
