Beemer Memory 29 ~ Marilyn @ the Hungry i

I was in the process of writing an article about the musical, Kismet, composed by Alexander Borodin, and in it I reference my days at the Hungry i (link below). While referencing those days I recollected one of the partners I danced with, Marilyn (not Monroe).

She was a soloist so we only danced together a few times but I will never forget her! Marilyn could easily have passed for Monroe; she was totally gorgeous with killer blue eyes, flaming red hair, a radiant smile, a generous nature and one of the sweetest people I have ever known.     

I put together some music for some of her solo sets one of which was a middle-eastern motif set in a Harem. I used music from Kismet (link below).
