It’s a history that many don’t want lost. Town Meeting member and lifelong Milfordian Joseph DiAntonio, 81, remembers growing up in a musical heaven. He took clarinet lessons from Mussulli after Boots came home from playing alto saxophone with Stan Kenton’s famous orchestra, touring the country with Curran and another Milford man, George Morte, who both worked as road managers.
Profile From the promoter: As a songwriter and a performer, Willie Nelson played a vital role in post-rock & roll country music. Although he didn’t become a star until the mid-’70s, Nelson spent the ’60s writing songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price (”Night Life”), Patsy Cline (”Crazy”), Faron Young (”Hello Walls”), and Billy Walker (”Funny How Time Slips Away”) as well as releasing a series of records on Liberty and RCA that earned him a small, but devoted, cult following.
The story lines in this season have been taut, as Don Draper’s philandering has gotten him thrown out of the house; Roger Sterling’s life has taken a change, and the whole future of the agency seems to be in question, even as the Cuban Missile Crisis simmers outdoors.

THE BODY BEAUTIFUL [Original Cast 6231] The Body Beautiful opened at the Broadway in January 1958 and closed after eight weeks, leaving nary a trace. The competition was brisk — The Music Man , Jamaica , New Girl in Town , and West Side Story were all recent arrivals, with My Fair Lady still the monster hit in town — leaving the boxing-themed musical a mere contender. Coming from all-but-unknown authors and producers and without any stars, The Body Beautiful didn’t even merit a cast recording.
