\nWell, I made it through all my Cy Coleman CDs. Some conclusions:<\/p>\n
1. I like the newer shows better than the older shows. If I had to name shows where I consistently like the music, in terms of liking all<\/i> the music, my first choice would have to be Will Rogers Follies<\/i>, followed perhaps by Barnum<\/i>, City of Angels<\/i>, and I Love My Wife<\/i>. I like much of the music of The Life<\/i>, and selected pieces in the remaining musicals.<\/p>\n
2. As I’ve known for a long time, I like the brassy and heavy piano pieces best (although not Cy Coleman, one of my favorite musicals that demonstrates this is The Wiz<\/i>, where I love Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News<\/i>). In terms of tempo, I like the high energy pieces, preferably jazz, Dixieland jazz, ragtime. I don’t like the slow bluesy numbers.<\/p>\n
Now, I need to turn my attention to 110 In The Shade<\/i>, which I’ll be seeing on Saturday.<\/p>\n
