Re: Musician’s Strike/Lockout

An article from today’s New York post decrying the use of canned music.

“…But my ears missed the orchestra, the music that completes this awesomely efficient Hallmark Greetings card. Longtime fans of the show will walk away disappointed — and demanding a rebate."

Vincent-

Thanks for jogging my memory on the 70’s Easter Show. As a 4 year old sitting way up in one of the higher mezzanines, I thought it quite hokey that one of the “organists” was actually a dummy. Actually, up until reading your post, I thought the dummy organist was just a false memory of mine. What were they thinking?

The only other thing I remember about the 1973 Easter show were the large (6 foot?) Easter Eggs on the choral staircases. They weren’t quite 3 dimentional and the footlights shone on the bottoms making patterns on the eggs.

Can anyone tell me what the 1970’s Easter show consisted of?
