	FEUER, CY Cy Feuer - I Got the Show Right Here -the Amazing, True Story of How an Obscure Brooklyn Horn Player Became , with His Partner Ernie Martin , the Last Great Broadway Showman New York: Simon & Schuster, 2003.

Jacket protected in New, clear non-stick mylar sleeve ... feltpen mark bottom edge ... Gift Giving quality ... 294 pages ... illustrated with 16 pages of glossy B&W photos ... Liz Smith says about this book : " Here's a must for people with historical theatrical memories ... the story of those rootin' tootin' tough businessmen ... Cy Feuer ... and his partner Ernie Martin ... Their Broadway hits became legends ... But who knew how funny Cy could be ... His memories ... his quips ... the wit of the famous others around him ... This memoir is irresistable and tells us what used to be 'new' on the Rialto." ... " From his birth in Brooklyn in 1911, Feuer seemed destined to become a legend in his own time. In this rollicking and rambunctious memoir, Broadway producer Feuer reminisces about his mother's dragging him to bandleaders and trumpeters, touting her son's musical talent. When his father died, Feuer's trumpet playing had to provide for the family; at 15 he was bringing home money from weekend club dates. After he finished Juilliard, Feuer made the rounds with big bands, playing venues such as the Roxy and Radio City Music Hall. Following World War II, Feuer and Ernie Martin formed a theatrical partnership and began to produce Broadway musicals. With curmudgeonly affection, Feuer recalls his greatest successes-Guys and Dolls, Can-Can, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Cabaret-and the stories surrounding them. He vividly re-creates Bob Fosse's temper tantrums, Cole Porter's obsession with finding the right lyric, and Liza Minnelli's staunch defense of her then-lover, Martin Scorsese. (Feuer considers today's Broadway musicals sentimental and not very deep.) Poking fun at himself and his foibles as often as he recalls the shortcomings of others, Cy offers a tantalizing no-holds barred look at the halcyon days of the Broadway musical and the people who made them come to life on the stage.

In this remarkable book, Sondra Horton Fraleigh examines and describes dance through her consciousness of dance as an art, through the experience of dancing, and through the existential and phenomenological literature on the lived body ... She draws upon the work of such philosophers as Colin Wilson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur, and Martin Buber to describe dance through its lived ground, the human body itself ... She makes it clear that the inherent qualities and aesthetic properties of this art form almost demand this particular analysis: dance is the existential art ... And this art form is complete only when there is an audience ...Professor Fraleigh shows that dance brings forth the dancer in all of us, that we understand dance becauuse of the expressive nature of our own bodies ... In a final section, the author considers various forms of dance imagery, showing that no matter how abstract it is, dance always reflects life because it is grounded in the lived body ...
