...timely rewriting made the punch lines only more telling. Not that the audience was unaware that up there on stage "Miriam" was being played by Barry Goldwater's sister Carolyn (Mrs. Bernard Erskine), and the bitchy "Sylvia" by Barry's sister-in-law Sally (Mrs. Robert Goldwater). All of which did not dim the drama of the Act II hair-pulling scene between the two. And when Miriam looked at her arm, into which Sylvia had just sunk her teeth, and cried out, "My God! I need a rabies shot," it brought down the house. As for Sally...
...Herbert Summers turned from his career in mechanical and civil engineering to learn scuba diving, earn a master's in oceanographic geology at Southern Cal, land a job to study sediment movements on the ocean floor.

Less bent on social comment than on soothing harmony, they sing gaily of whisky, women and want, waxing serious only when they try to patch up the French-English rift back home in Song for Canada ("How come we can't talk to each other any more...
...SYLVIA MARLOWE: HARPSICHORD (Decca). The eminent harpsichordist looks to the future of her archaic instrument by commissioning new pieces by the dozen. Among them are chamber works by Ned Rorem and Elliott Carter, both contrasting the tangy harpsichord with bland woodwinds. Rorem strings together short, romantic "songs without words," while Carter builds a severe, towering structure out of tiny musical blocks.
