Musicarnival. I found the entry "MUSICARNIVAL MEMORIES" perhaps over a year late, but I found it.

How do you do? Bill Rudman here - I led the Musicarnival Audio Archives project. I’m so happy to hear of your memories; it’s astonishing how many people across the country still have them. I myself never worked there, but I feel as though I grew up under the tent — just a bit later than you did. For me it was the early and mid-1960s.

My aunt worked in Ohio and West Palm Beach for Music Carnival. Her name is Marilyn M. Montgomery and goes by Lynn Montgomery. She graduated from Columbia with a degree in Theater and worked in stage production as a stage manager much of her professional life.

Lynn Montgomery was John’s sec’y. She was the stage manager for Bells are Ringing. And, she is the one who called me the following spring to work on West Side Story.

I worked at Musicarnival for1959-1960. I worked solely in the costume department under Sheila Pearl. Those two seasons were some of the best summers . So many memories.
