[Mb-hair] Alice's Restaurant and HAIR

[Michael Butler]

One of the greatest memories I have in life is you and Ronnie singing "What
a Piece of Work is Man". Never been better and such a poignant moment.
Love Michael

> A small HAIR connection with Alice's Restaurant:
> 
> The first time I heard of HAIR was from my friend, the actor Michael
> McClanathan.  Mike and I had been in several plays at LaMaMa.  This was
> late 1967 and he asked me to help him prepare for an audition for HAIR
> (headed for Broadway at that point).  He gave me a copy of the RCA
> off-Broadway album, and that's where I first heard the music.
> 
> Long story short - Mike and I both auditioned for HAIR, and I got the
> nod.  He got a good job too, however - he was cast as Arlo Guthrie's
> friend in the movie "Alice's Restaurant" right around the same time.
