Quick note on musical arrangements

Work has sporadically continued on this project, now with a new collaborator, Renee. We've talked about various things, including somewhat narrowing our focus to specific versions of Hair that will help us keep focused on the most essential plot points, character development, etc. While opening her mind to other musical arrangements than those of the Hair revival produced by the Public Theatre, I discovered the official YouTube channel of Galt MacDermot's company, MacDermot Music LLC (also known as Kilmarnock Records). Included on that channel were some unique arrangements of Hair tunes that proved to be a great influence. I think we'll be drawing on some of these for our dream script. Below the jump, arranged in show order, are the clips I found.
