1974152441N.p.: N.p. 1974. Draft Working script for the 1975 Andy Warhol-produced musical copy belonging to Monique van Vooren.

It was a star-studded opening night and after party at Sardi's with Warren Beatty Andy Warhol Diane von Furstenberg Diana Vreeland Kurt Vonnegut Rex Harrison Yoko Ono and others in attendance. Unfortunately scathing reviews followed and after only four days and a run of ten performances the production closed on February 1 1974.<br/><br/>In 1970 John Phillips inspired by the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing conceived of a space-themed musical project a space opera originally entitled "Space" and spent the next five years on the project in its various incarnations. In 1974 Phillips' wife Genevieve Waite persuaded Andy Warhol to produce the project as a Broadway musical with Warhol's collaborator Paul Morrissey slated to direct. The project was renamed "Man on the Moon" with Waite von Vooren and Denny Doherty slated to star. Reportedly two weeks before opening night co-producer Richard Turley fired Morrissey installing a more experienced Broadway director uncredited who changed everything casting stage directions songs and script. <br/><br/>Phillips would later used some of the songs from the musical for the soundtrack of the 1976 Nicolas Roeg film "The Man Who Fell to Earth" starring David Bowie. In 2009 "Andy Warhol Presents Man on the Moon" was released as part of the "John Phillips Presents" series and included unreleased demos and songs recorded at a dress rehearsal at The Factory by Warhol.<br/><br/>Self wrappers integral with first page. 87 leaves with last page of text unnumbered.

Kneeland Hosea Ballou and Edward Turner combined efforts to compile a new Universalist hymnal with Kneeland contributing about a third of the hymns "most of which have been judged to be inferior." After he left the Universalist fellowship in the 1830s he became the last man to be convicted of blasphemy in the state of Massachusetts. see his brief biography in the Unitarian Universalist Dictionary online <br/>Another tune called "Mount Vernon" comes from the psalms of David and was originally written by Isaac Watts 1674-1748 known as the founder of English hymnody. "This life's a dream an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there" Lyander W. Webb whose name appears in two of the notebooks may be Lyander Westram Webb 1805-1858 who was born in Philadelphia. Rev. Abner Kneeland was pastor of the Lombard Street church in Philadelphia from 1818 until his move to New York City in 1825. Webb later moved to Baltimore Maryland where the 1850 Census lists him as an engineer. <br/><br/> hardcover books
