(For the Trio)

When a dove is in love with a doll of a dove He is out all night, coo, cooing When the owl's on a prowl or a feminine fowl He goes out all night, woo, wooing

Every bird and bee has its lunacy In the way he works his dream off But when I feel high, here's the way That I like to get my kind of steam off

Owls hoo, hoo, others sigh Doves coo, coo, ah, how I

I could go on singing till the cows come home And the rooster starts to crow, crow, crow When I see your eyes, I go all out I must vocalize till you shout, "Enough already"

I could go on singing till the moon turns pink Anything from Faust to Ink-a-dink-a-dink Love does funny things When it hits you this way

I must keep on singing, like a lark, going strong With my heart on the wings of a song, singing day

(For Victor & Killer)

It only happens when I dance with you That trip to heaven till the dance is through With no one else do the heavens seem quite so near Why does it happen, dear, only with you? Two cheeks together can be so divine But only when those cheeks are yours and mine I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through But the thrill that comes with spring when anything can happen That only happens with you Two cheeks together can be so divine But only when those cheeks are yours and mine I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through But the thrill that comes with spring when anything can happen That only happens with you

November 9, 1967: The first issue of Rolling Stone Magazine is published. Go ask Perry, I think he'll know.

#the 60s #lost years #the late late show #surrealistic porphyrion

A fantasia spanning three acts and three vastly different time periods in the life of 300-year-old former slave Porphyrion, the piece is a playground for visual exploration, and director Asher Hartman and scenic and lighting designer François-Pierre Couture take full advantage by transforming the theater into three separate, eye-catching performance spaces... Inhabiting those spaces, with his smooth, beguiling manner and seductive singing voice, is Outlaw: crooning at the speakeasy (accompanied by a live band that really grooves), lording over his fawning minions Victor (Derek Chariton) and Killer (Casey James Holmberg) in the club, and struggling to survive the torture of slavery on the plantation. In each act, Porphyrion sports vastly different looks, courtesy of costume designers Angi Bell Ursetta and Brian Getnick, whose imaginative tricks with fabrics and color is a treat to behold.
