“Bright Star” — the musical in which we’ve been honored to be perform as the house band this summer — wraps up this weekend, and we’ll be performing the last of our nightly pre-shows starting this evening.
For our little pre-show sets, we’ve sought out old folk songs that complement the play’s new original music. Here’s the song we like to end our set with, a rollicking, silly number about a ramblin’ rascal named Buster.
We learned it from a 1920s recording by the great Charlie Poole, but the song actually dates back the late 19th Century. Here’s “Didn’t He Ramble?”
Remember, the last three performances of “Bright Star” are tonight, Saturday and Sunday nights at Alchemy Theater, 68 Holley Avenue in the beautiful hills of Huntington, WV. For details, visit the theater’s website at www.alchemytheatretroupe.org.
