It is said that Brecht wrote Hollywood Elegy No.7 about his beautiful friend Peter Lorre,
who suffered from morphine addiction. The original German text is lost.

We are currently working with pianist Julie Sweet to develop a recording of Hanns Eisler pieces from the Hollywood songbook.
We plan to perform these and modern works by Poulenc & others with Sweet during 2012.

Andy & Karen played at Bedlam's New Year's Eve party in the Ivy Building this year. Karen played the Lesmann electronic accordion/organ. Nice, loud bass on the accorgan, but it weighs about 30 pounds. There was a sighting of the famous local sign painter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxlIpB6zD24 at the party, aka our excellent landlord. |

Several longtime members of Dreamland Faces performed at Bryant Lake Bowl recently for Bedlam's holiday adventure in chaos. Mucklejean Magglepot (aspiring Renaissance Festival performer) & Josef Evans (playwright/ Party Guy) were in top form. |
