+How dare they try to end this beauty+
In honour of our talented cast and crew of ‘HAIR’ and our three show weekend starting tonight, we are sending out this lovely {MUSIC MINUTE} to the universe featuring Galt MacDermot’s First Natural Hair Band, and one of our personal favourite songs of the show “Walking in Space”.
It is alleged that Galt MacDermot wrote the entire score for ‘HAIR’ in only three weeks, and initially with at least 30 songs per act.
+Bad Ass Galt MacDermot orchestrating the groovy revolution+
‘HAIR’ is labelled a rock musical, but according to MacDermot, he saw his music more alluding to the funk wave that was stirring through music at the time. And while we remember many of the show’s lustrous melodies, it is truly the powerful rhythms of the show that give the show its unique pulse.
If you ask us, it is the music in partnership with the timeless challenges of ‘HAIR’ that truly make it great.
All aboard the train to Mainline with stops in Pottsville and Moonville . . .
Hope you enjoy!
Until we meet again,
