This week, Associate Music Director Andrews Sill invites us to See the Music of Igor Stravinsky's Scènes de Ballet, the eponymous score for Christopher Wheeldon's 1999 work. Sill relates that the piece was composed in 1944 for Broadway impresario Billy Rose, and drew inspiration from both world events and a variety of creative sources—including the ballet Giselle—as with so many of Stravinsky's singular compositions.

A su vez, el/la cantante afirma que el romance no necesita de un determinado escenario ("una luna en el cielo"), ubicación ("una laguna azul"), debido a la fuerte atracción a la persona.

Synopsis On today's date in 1944, the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky completed an orchestral score he titled "Scenes de Ballet" or "Ballet Scenes." Now, considering Stravinsky had achieved international fame for his earlier ballet scores for "The Firebird," "Petroushka" and "The Rite of Spring," perhaps the generic title "Ballet Scenes" was not all that surprising. What was surprising was that the commission for this 1944 score came from an unusual source – Broadway. New York impresario and nightclub owner Billy Rose had achieved fame the previous year for his Broadway production of "Carmen Jones" – an updated American version of Bizet's opera "Carmen" with an all-black cast and a jazzed-up score. Rose decided to capitalize on this popular success with something more "upscale and highbrow." Rose conceived of a stage review titled "The Seven Lively Arts," and for the dance component decided to commission the most famous living composer of ballet scores, Igor Stravinsky, who was then living in Los Angeles. Rose liked the score when he heard it played on the piano, but he thought Stravinsky's orchestration a bit too far-out, and this led to a famous coast-to-coast telegraph exchange. After a preview performance in Philadelphia, Rose sent this telegram message to Stravinsky: "Great success, but could be sensational success if you would authorize Robert Russell Bennett to retouch orchestration." Stravinsky telegraphed this reply to Billy Rose: "Satisfied with great success."

This is the first episode of a new Broadway Nation mini-series that explores what I am calling, “The Other Broadway”. Today when we see or hear the word “Broadway”, we most likely think of New York's Theater District and it's 41 active theaters nestled in and around Times Square (where today 36 plays and musicals have thankfully returned to the stage!) Or that word evokes the legendary cannon of shows that have played in those theaters, most especially those great, glorious Broadway musicals that up until now have been the principal subject of this podcast. That, however, is really only part of what “Broadway” has meant to most people during the first half of the 20th Century – when Broadway was at the center of American culture. For more than 5 decades the word “Broadway” meant not just the performances in the legitimate theaters – those Plays, Musicals, and Revues. But also, or even more so, it meant the Nightlife that surrounded them. From the 1910s through the 1950s there were hundreds of cabarets, speakeasys and nightclubs crammed into the Theater District. And they epitomized “Broadway” just as much as what was happening in the theaters, In fact, the most famous songs about Broadway – those anthemic tributes that you hear on every Tony Awards show and every Broadway themed occasion such as “Give My Regards To Broadway”, “Lullaby Of Broadway” and “On Broadway” – all have lyrics that are much more about the nightlife than they are about the shows. During this series I will lead my listeners on a late night tour of Broadway's most famous hot spots including Rector's, Reisenweber's, The El Fay Club, Club Durant, Club Richman, The Hotsy Totsy Club, Club Alabam, The Silver Slipper, The Pansy Club, The Stork Club, Casa Lopez, La Conga, 21, The Parody Club, The Rainbow Room, The Latin Quarter, El Morocco, The Astor Roof, The Cotton Club (it was in Times Square for a while), Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe, The Copacabana and many more. There you will rub elbows with such stars as Vernon & Irene Castle, James Reese Europe, Sophie Tucker, Clifton Webb, George Raft, Rudolph Valentino, Gilda Gray, Texas Guinan, Ethel Waters, Florence Mills, Helen Morgan, Harry Richman, Bill Robinson, Cab Calloway, Desi Arnaz, Tommy Dorsey, Frank Sinatra, Fats Waller, and Clayton, Jackson, & Durante to name only a few. However, before we venture out into the night, we need to look back to the origins of this other side of Broadway, so in this first episode I explore exactly where New York nightlife began. I hope that you enjoy it. I am now entirely obsessed and fascinated by this subject! Please let me know what you think! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
What role does your personal brand play in the success of your real estate business? Most of us know how important it is to market our services, but if you ask Tracy McLaughlin, she'll tell you that consistently building your business starts with building your brand. What you will learn in this episode: How Tracy built an award-winning real estate career even though her background was in journalism and broadcasting Where Tracy first discovered her passion for branding and design — and how she infuses those passions into her business The role that your personal branding plays in the success of your business How to brand yourself as an expert in your community Ways you can use your brand to offer value, create connection, and foster engagement within your community How to use social media as a tool for monetizing your business Why Tracy believes that real estate is about showing people how to live in homes — not just about selling them Building Your Brand What role does your personal brand play in the success of your real estate business? We all know how important it is to market our services, but if you ask Tracy McLaughlin, our guest for this episode of the Pursuing Freedom podcast, she'll tell you that consistently building your business always come back to how committed you are to building your brand. Marketing = Passion + Expertise Tracy will be the first to tell you that she fell into the real estate game unexpectedly. Her background in journalism led to an exciting career in TV broadcasting — a career that often required her to travel all over the country. Ironically, all of this traveling is what ultimately led her back to her hometown of Marin County. When she and her husband were expecting their first child, she decided it was time to pursue something a little bit closer to home. Tracy and her husband decided to invest in a house down the street from theirs so they could fix it up and increase the market value. That project ended up being the catalyst for Tracy's real estate career. She discovered her passion for design, for navigating the subtleties and nuances that ultimately make or break a person's decision to buy a home. After she'd moved on from that first project to flipping several homes each year, Tracy knew that she could marry this passion of hers with the knowledge she'd accumulated in order to turn it into a career. For her, real estate isn't just about selling people homes, it's about showing people how to live in them. According to Tracy, the same principle applies to building a successful brand. It's the seemingly little things — the fonts you choose, the color and detail of your logo, the specific words you incorporate into your messaging — that ultimately have the power to make or break your personal brand. She says that at the end of the day, if your passion and expertise don't shine through, then your brand isn't doing anything to build up your business. How to Keep Building Your Brand As a top agent in Marin County for a record-breaking 16 straight years, Tracy's proven formula for branding and business success kind of speaks for itself. But, fortunately for all of us, Tracy was still gracious enough to speak to her wealth of industry knowledge and to offer up some sage advice for anyone who is struggling to bolster their business or establish their brand. During our conversation, Tracy emphasized that “brand bleeds through everything.” Not only does your brand represent your business, but when built correctly, it does so in a way that showcases who you are, what you do, and how you do it. From your messaging and design to the way you present your brand in physical spaces or on social media, Tracy stresses the importance of being consistent and remembering that all of these aspects contribute to whether or not your brand will successfully connect you with your audiences. She says that at the end of the day, if your passion and expertise don't shine through, then your brand isn't doing anything to build your business. Tracy offered up several other nuggets of wisdom and advice for anyone who is looking to build their brand or build momentum behind their business: Find Your Passion, and Speak to It — Tracy's secret to building a successful brand isn't really a secret at all. Everyone has backgrounds, experiences, and passions that are unique to them. When you infuse that passion and knowledge into your brand, you ensure that you'll attract the type of work you'll genuinely love, while also fostering connection and engagement with your audiences. Take Risks — at some point in everyone's journey, risk happens before the reward. Discomfort and uncertainty are unavoidable in this industry but when you embrace them, those strategic risks can lead to incredible opportunities. Always Create Value — There's an art to finding your foothold in the communities you work in, but doing so successfully almost always comes down to whether or not you're creating value for the people in it. Not every conversation, appointment, or showing is going to lead to a sale, but that doesn't mean those connections are fruitless. Create value in every interaction by offering up the expertise, insights, and passions that make up your brand. Tracy says that when you do, that investment you make in your business will almost always come back to you tenfold.

Do you remember going into the stairwell? Picture the door for me. You push open the door and step in. There are five flights of stairs below you, but you walk them every day, don't you? You walk them-- CAROL It's slimming. MADAME You begin to walk down the stairs, just as usual. One step, then another. CAROL The way she talks-- MADAME You pass the fourth floor door. Nothing there for you. THADDEUS She just tryin to help. MADAME One brisk step in front of another-- CAROL [getting agitated] But it's like-- it's like she's trying to hypnotize me! SOUND Knocking on door, slightly louder. MADAME Passing the baby carriage the Joneses leave tucked into the corner of the third floor landing-- THADDEUS Don' know nothin 'bout that, but I spect she think it'a help you 'member what happened. MADAME All the way around to the next set of stairs-- CAROL STOP IT. I don't want to be hypnotized! I don't want to-- [pain] Aaagh! Whatever happened, I don't want to remember it, you hear? Do you HEAR me? SOUND Muffled and distant: Strange thumping and crashing noises. Particularly, a noise like someone pounding on a door, and a crash of a broken glass. SCENE 3. THADDEUS Shh, listen, miss Carol. Shh. CAROL What was that? Something broke? THADDEUS Don't pay it no mind. They's some noisy neighbors in this building. CAROL But-- It's-- it's gone now.

I want to work you through this, but your resistance-- CAROL I just don't know what I can do! I'm frustrated too, you know. I can't remember a thing about-- [realizing] Oh. MADAME Yes? Continue. CAROL I was in a hurry. On my way to a job interview. Or was that Tuesday? MADAME Yesterday was Tuesday, yes. CAROL Oh! So I was dashing down the stairs, quick as I could -- I'm faster than the elevator, you see. That old thing. [chuckles] I swear it's pulled by mice. THADDEUS [chuckles] MADAME Can you remember how far you got? Did you reach the second floor landing? CAROL Second floor. Hmm. I -- yes! Little Billy from 203 keeps dropping gum wrappers in there, and I was thinking-- [gasp of pain] MADAME [gasp of pain] SOUND distant, barrage of knocks on a door. THADDEUS Miss Carol? Miss Carol, come on -- you tough. You can do this. No old stitch gon' slow you down. Here, take my hand. Right there, now you squeeze. Squeeze out all that bad old pain. CAROL No! No, I-- THADDEUS [hiss intake of breath] Good. You keep on squeezin long as you need. CAROL [several quick breaths, then one deep one] I think -- Thaddeus, I think that's when he hit me. He must have hit me real hard. MADAME [deep breath] Carol. I need to stop for now. I will return soon. While I'm gone, can you try and remember? CAROL I'll try... MADAME Goodbye. [NO footsteps or door] SOUND brief, vague rumble of voices, nothing clear. SCENE 5. CAROL Are they having a party? THADDEUS Who? CAROL Your neighbors. THADDEUS Might could be. You doin' all right? CAROL Sorry to be such a baby about all this. When it hurts - well it really hurts. THADDEUS I know. Get myself the same thing in my neck sometimes. CAROL Oh? [beat, changing subject] So, do you know her? The woman asking the questions? THADDEUS A bit. She Madame Foulet and work for police, I do know that. Some years back, she asked me a coupla questions. CAROL About what? THADDEUS Somethin I seen ... way back when. CAROL She seems kind of old to be a police matron or whatever she is. THADDEUS She one of a kind, I guess. they cain't afford to retire her. CAROL Is she a hypnotist? Was I right? THADDEUS I don' know nothin about that, miss. I spect you probly mostly right. CAROL [decisive] Well. If I want this guy caught - and boy do I want him caught, especially if he's the one who killed all those girls - I better get cracking and remember something. SOUND pacing footsteps CAROL In the movies, if you hit your head and get amnesia, you can hit your head again to get your memory back. THADDEUS I don' guess it work that way in real life, miss. CAROL I have got to stop being a whiny baby about this - after all, I survived, didn't I? THADDEUS [dubious] Well-- CAROL So, it's all in the past and I shouldn't be frightened. Oh. SOUND: PACING STOPS CAROL Unless he decides to come back -- to make sure I can't identify him. THADDEUS He won't never find you now. I promise you that. CAROL Really? You didn't... THADDEUS Din't what, miss? CAROL No, no. You said you never even-- THADDEUS [amused] You thinkin I mighta kilt him? I know I'm a big fella, but I cain't-- CAROL I meant it as a compliment. THADDEUS I guess so. CAROL Did you have to ... fight him off? I mean, to save me? THADDEUS [distinctly uncomfortable] Nah. When he caught sight a me, he jest run. CAROL [smiling] You do look pretty intimidating. THADDEUS Nah. Look, you should be tryin' t'member-- CAROL [sigh] I know, but this takes my mind off it. I figure, it's like a word at the tip of your tongue. When you THINK about it SO HARD that you feel like your brain may be squeezed out your ears, it never comes. Then, the minute your mind is off it, voila! The word tumbles right out. THADDEUS That sounds 'bout right. CAROL I need to get into the stairwell. That'll really jog my memory. SOUND Rapid footsteps. Doorknob turns, but doesn't open. CAROL What? Why is the door locked? THADDEUS I reckon it's jest stuck, miss. [worried] But you really don' wanna go into the stairwell. I- I promise you that. CAROL Open this door! I don't like being locked in here-- THADDEUS With me? CAROL What? No, no. No-- It's got nothing to do with you, Thaddeus. I like you. I just [SOUND: pounds once on door] don't [pound] like [pound, weakening] being [more of a smack] locked [tap] in [tap]. SCENE 6. MADAME [slightly off mike] Good. We can begin again. CAROL What? Where'd she...? THADDEUS Madame said she jest needed a lil break. She didn't say she was goin' off no place. CAROL But she was gone. THADDEUS It's real dark in here. I never heared her go. CAROL Then she must have listened to everything we said. THADDEUS I spect she jest shut up her eyes and her ears and took a lil nap, miss. MADAME May we proceed? CAROL [sigh] Yes. [fierce] Yeah, I want this fiend drawn and quartered! SOUND distant brief chuckle, like several people in another room. MADAME Now, Carol. We'll start with something easy. I want you to be comfortable. I want you to remember something very pleasant. CAROL Pleasant? MADAME Think back to a time when you were happy. CAROL [thinking] Oh! No, no - that's too silly. MADAME The first thing that comes to mind, Carol. CAROL Well, I was very sick once, when I was little - measles, I think, but I don't remember too well - Just the itching. Oh, how it itched! Mama gave me sweet tea each night she came home and didn't see any scratches on me. If I could just control myself, I could have sweet tea. [pause] Of course, I fooled her - I learned to scratch around. THADDEUS Scratch around? CAROL Yes. Maybe it was chicken pox. But anyway, if you scratch around the spots, it stops some of the itch, but doesn't look like you've been scratching. THADDEUS Your best memory is of feelin poorly? CAROL No, don't be silly. She just asked me for a memory of a happy time, and it was... oddly enough. I got sweet tea, AND I fooled my mother. [giggle] SOUND distant chuckles CAROL Sounds like they're having a whale of a time over there. MADAME Very good Carol. You sound like you feel better now. I need you to keep this feeling of well-being with you while we try again. CAROL I still don't think it will work. THADDEUS Try. CAROL All right. MADAME Ignore any pain. Ignore any fear. Ignore any interruptions. Ignore any distractions. We must find this man. We must find him and stop him. [beat] You have just reached the second floor landing. What do you see, Carol? CAROL [breathing rapidly] I see the gum wrappers. Little brat. Then a shadow. I hardly ever see people - oh! - on the stairs. [groans] MADAME Continue, please. THADDEUS Take my hand, Carol, jest like before. Thass a girl. SOUND very distant knocking and shuffling noises. CAROL [whining gasp, obviously in pain] I turn around, and there's a flash - like sunlight on water. MADAME Ignore the flash. Look only at the face. SOUND knocking and shuffling noises get louder, nearer. CAROL No! No I can't - it hurts too much! THADDEUS Yes you can. You gots to. You the only one left behind - none of them other girls can say nothin, but you - you got yourself a chance to be a hero, now. CAROL Are you sure he can't come back and get me? SOUND glass breaks THADDEUS Sure as I'm sittin here wit you, miss. He cain't never even touch you - no way, no how. MADAME Carol! Stop the movie! You need to stop it and look! Break the film in your mind, so there IS NO END. Nothing but the face. CAROL No, I can't! SOUND heavy pounding, neighbors getting upset. THADDEUS Shh. Shh. You takin my hand right off, miss Carol. SOUND ALL sounds stop abruptly. CAROL It's a knife, isn't it? THADDEUS Yes. CAROL He's holding a knife, but it's on my right - my right... Oh No! Oh, Thaddeus, I'm-- SOUND distant knocking begins again. THADDEUS That ain't nothing, miss Carol. You gots to see it's just hysteria. SOUND Knocking gets louder CAROL [in tears] But I'm bleeding! I have to get to a doctor! THADDEUS They ain't no blood, miss. Not a chance of it. It's all in ya' head, see? CAROL No, look, my side, it hurts-- THADDEUS Shh. I don' see no blood. SOUND knocking begins to recede CAROL No blood? THADDEUS Not a bit of it. CAROL [deep breath] All right. [realization] Oh! But if I saw a knife in his hand, on my right, then he must be left-handed! That's important, isn't it? MADAME [very tired] Very ...good. I must have another rest. We shall speak again. Goodbye. SCENE 7. CAROL How does she do that? THADDEUS What? CAROL She just -- it was like she just wrapped some of the darkness around her and vanished. THADDEUS She probly jest turned off a light. You doin all right? CAROL No. My side hurts. I want to go home. THADDEUS Got to finish first. This GOT to be done. CAROL I know, but-- [begins to weep] THADDEUS I shore do like that song Poor Papa you sing sometimes. CAROL [surprised] What? THADDEUS I heared you sing it over and over one day, so I got it near enough memorized myself. CAROL [sniffs, but no longer crying] I was getting ready for an audition. No one can hear me in the stairwell, so it doesn't bother anyone if I practice there. THADDEUS And that song -- that song is jest plain funny. When mama gets to ride in the car-- CAROL [cheering up] Oh, yes, when "papa bought a limousine, the most expensive kind, now he wears a chauffeur's suit, and mama rides behind!" THADDEUS [laughing] Thassa one, thassa one gets me every time. One tough female, mama is. CAROL You really listen to me? THADDEUS Whenever I hears you in the stair, I'm there quick as all get out, tucked up high so's not to bother you or, well, make you afeared. CAROL Oh, I'm not afraid of you. THADDEUS You probly would be if'n we hadn't talked first. CAROL [beat] I wish I could say you were wrong. [deep breath] Thank you. THADDEUS Fer what? CAROL For the distraction. THADDEUS [teasing] Is that what I's doin? I thought I was complimentin you on your singin, thass all. CAROL Don't act dopey. THADDEUS You up to tryin again? CAROL Maybe... Should we see if she'll come back? THADDEUS Nah. Jest try right here. Maybe SHE the one makin it hard fer you to think. You come up with somethin now, you can always tell her when she come back. SOUND PACING CAROL [beat] This is futile. THADDEUS Nah-- CAROL [revving up] Futile. Pointless! Hopeless! THADDEUS You know what you needs? You needs to scratch around. CAROL What? THADDEUS You cain't scratch the spot what itches, cause that jest get you into trouble. Scratch around. CAROL [realizing] Thaddeus, you're brilliant! [beat] But, how CAN I think around--? THADDEUS Mebbe... you ever see them funny pictures with an artist, and he holdin up his thumb? How bout if you hold up ya' thumb - block out the part you gots to scratch around. CAROL I think I see -- Just look at the edges, because the middle is too scary. THADDEUS Yes'm. CAROL I see the door to the second floor hallway. It's off to my left. I see the light fixture on the wall. THADDEUS Don' worry about no lights. CAROL Right. I see a [deep breath] a hat - no a cap, like a deliveryman would wear. It's [breathes quickly for a moment] blue- I think it's blue-- SOUND Thud, like a body drop. THADDEUS Calm now, Miss Carol. CAROL --and hair, blonde? Or maybe light brown. SCENE 8. MADAME Be calm, Carol. CAROL Yes, a deliveryman. I remember! I was thinking it must have been a small package, since he was coming up the stairs instead of the elevator, when-- [hollow, pained] oh! SOUND LOUDEST thumpings and rattlings yet. they CONTINUE until noted. CAROL Oh! THADDEUS S'all right. CAROL Oh! No, but Thaddeus-- THADDEUS I understand. I promise you, I do. CAROL But-- SOUND CRASH OF GLASS. CROWD [reactions - gasps, a scream.] CAROL But, he ... he killed me, didn't he? [beat] Didn't he Thaddeus? SOUND Deep creaking & cracking noises. CROWD [reacts again] MADAME Carol. I need to end this now. Goodbye. SOUND Sudden silence. SCENE 9. CAROL Thaddeus? THADDEUS Yes, miss Carol? CAROL [calm] I'm right, aren't I? THADDEUS I spect you'd rather not be, but -- yes. You dead, too. CAROL Too? THADDEUS I wished I coulda stopped him, I truly do - but they ain't nothin much a ghost can do! Jest makin him see me was hard enough, and I was ... too late... CAROL But, what do I do now? Do I go somewhere? THADDEUS [rueful laugh] If'n I had an answer fer that, miss Carol, I spect I wouldn't be here talkin wit' you. MUSIC SCENE 10. TOUR GUIDE [clearly reading] And here we are at stop number 12 on the haunted hotel tour, the Garibaldi Residential Suites -- rumored to be home to a plethora of ghosts, including a baby in the basement, a chain rattling spook in suite 405, a runaway slave, and the poor girl who was the final victim of the stairway stabber - and can sometimes be heard singing in the stairwells. MUSIC OLIVIA Now that you know how to find us, you'll have to come back. Maybe next week? Don't be a stranger - we have enough of those already... "Poor Papa" lyrics by Billy Rose, 1926. ******************************************
Foreseeing Fools is a Blues & Americana infused Psychedelic Rock band formed in 2017 by husband-wife duo, Jimbob and CC. Based in Winnemucca, a small rural desert town known as Nevada's, “Buckaroo country," Foreseeing Fools has an intoxicating and mellow, yet moody, sonic sound that provides the perfect backdrop to the punchy, energetic attitude of their vocal melodies and sometimes sinisterly themed lyrical compositions. Fans have been known to compare the desert rock duo to iconic classic acts such as Jefferson Airplane, The Runaways and The B-52s, while the pair also cites modern bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Florence & The Machine and The White Stripes as musical influences.Foreseeing Fools may be a two piece, but the fullness of their sound has a way of almost deceiving your ear into thinking you're listening to an entire band. Jimbob plays a full drum-kit with his feet and the bass guitar, in tandem, while CC plays the guitar and has resonating vocals that can fill up a room. Jimbob started playing bass with his friends in a punk rock band to shake up the small-town he lived in with some teenage angst and a raw worldview. Jimbob's walking bass lines eventually led him down the path to joining alternative rock band, Oreana, while he was working as a gold miner in Nevada. The desire to play folk music then began to pull at Jimbob, which led him to playing with folk musician Billy Rose, but he later decided to pursue his dream of becoming a Chef and relocated to San Diego for a period of time. Jimbob then traveled back to his hometown to play in the folk/punk band, LNOY, before forming Foreseeing Fools.Jimbob can compose amazing melodies and riffs that are unique to each original song. For a small-town boy, he can give the big-time city boys a run for their money.CC also has small-town roots, but took a different route through life to find her path as a musician. Traveling through the western United States with no money to her name, CC was able to experience what she calls, “some pretty interesting ways of living.” After trying to settle down in the big city of Boise, Idaho, CC decided a fresh start was in order after finding herself stuck in the vicious cycle of struggles with alcoholism, addiction and toxic relationships. CC made the move to a small-town in Nevada where she took a bartending gig at the bar where she'd eventually meet her future husband and bandmate, Jimbob. Shortly after the pair moved in together, CC picked up one of Jimbob's guitars that was lying around the house, instantly fell in love with it and started writing songs right away. Once she could hold down the rhythm, CC tried to join her husband's band but they had a, “no girlfriend rule,” which only pushed her to learn more and play harder.After a year of honing her guitar playing chops on her own, Jimbob was so impressed, he was compelled to part ways with his band to play with CC full time under the name Foreseeing Fools.Following their 2019 debut EP, Bootleg Cigarettes, Foreseeing Fools' released their latest project, Put The Devil In Hell (EP), in November 2020, both of which are available on all major streaming platforms and Bandcamp. Fans have cited the couple's one-of-a-kind rock sound as having a, “unique punk edge,” and their songs as, “an anthem for the outcasts.” The twosome has also had the honor of sharing the stage with fellow notable Nevadian rock acts such as Jade Brodie & The Backups, The Caliche Brothers and Lady Godiva's Operation.Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, Foreseeing Fools traveled frequently to play breweries, wineries, dive-bars and other various stages to be able to share their music and connect with their fans face-to-face. Like many other acts in 2020, the duo shifted gears to develop and expand their presence in the virtual space and increase their engagement with their followers on social media. The duo is currently in the studio writing and recording material for a new album.

Billy Rose’s entrée to the real estate industry is as unique as it is inspiring. Charting an unusual path starting out practicing law to then becoming a motion picture agent which then led to property development and ultimately to his current gig as Founder/President of The Agency, Billy is a perfect blend of intellect and artist. He has represented some of the most famous names in Hollywood, both as a developer and agent, and continues to lead the steady and measured expansion at The Agency. We know you’ll enjoy Billy’s story and perspective.
Esther Williams single-handedly helped popularize the pastime of swimming — first as the star swimmer of the San Francisco production of Billy Rose's Aquacade, and then as the star of Hollywood films like Bathing Beauties and Million Dollar Mermaid. Williams’s stardom — and the necessity to maintain her image as a grinning glamour girl, even while submerged underwater — led to the creation of several waterproof products and swimwear innovations, from waterproof foundation and eyeliner to bathing cap couture. Despite two decades of sustained celebrity and brand power, Williams eventually struggled to maintain the pristine bathing beauty facade. She lost her MGM contract in the 1960s and had to pay millions to the studio in damages. On her way down, she slapped her name on swimming pools and exercise videos, stumbled through four unhappy marriages and started to experiment with LSD for her depression. Drawing on previously untapped resources, Rachel Syme will tell the story of Williams' rise and fall, and the innovations in aqua-beauty she inspired, while also analyzing why we want to be waterproof, why we want to be so invulnerable to the elements and why putting swimming on-screen led to pressures for women to look put-together, even when sopping wet. This episode was written and performed by Rachel Syme, a writer, reporter and cultural critic living in New York City. She writes a regular column for The New Yorker on fashion and beauty. She is also a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, GQ, Vanity Fair and Esquire. She often writes about the complex intersection between fame, glamour, beauty and feminism.

A product of working-class New York, Durante dropped out of school in the eighth grade to become a full-time ragtime pianist, working the city circuit and earning the nickname "Ragtime Jimmy," before he joined one of the first recognizable jazz bands in New York, the Original New Orleans Jazz Band. Durante was the only member of the group who didn't hail from New Orleans. His routines of breaking into a song to use a joke, with band or orchestra chord punctuation after each line became a Durante trademark. In 1920, the group was renamed Jimmy Durante's Jazz Band. Durante became a vaudeville star and radio attraction by the mid-1920s, with a music and comedy trio called Clayton, Jackson and Durante. By 1934, he had a major record hit, his own novelty composition "Inka Dinka Doo," and it became his signature song for practically the rest of his life. A year later, Durante starred in the Billy Rose stage musical, Jumbo, in which a police officer stopped him while leading a live elephant and asked him, "What are you doing with that elephant?" Durante's reply, "What elephant?", was a regular show-stopper.
