Off-topic, yes... but as Billy Joel said last night (when he called in to Ed's station to reminisce about his friend), Ed Sciaky is a man who should be remembered (and will be).
And I find it fitting that a man who was the ultimate passionate music fan passed away while on a trip to New York to see two Broadway shows!

[ NYP ]  STROMAN PUTS SHOWMAN INTO CITY BALLET by CLIVE BARNES
NEW York City Ballet, by virtue of Susan Stroman, has a hit on its hands - and a great, big Broadway-style hit at that.

Plenty of Pastiche and Pizazz, but, Sorry, No Popcorn by ANNA KISSELGOFF
Susan Stroman delivered a surefire hit in her first two-act work for the ballet on Friday.

[ NJ ]  City Ballet tribute falls short BY ROBERT JOHNSON
Susan Stroman's evening-length ballet "Double Feature," which New York City Ballet unveiled on Friday, is supposed to be High Art. Never mind the pointe shoes. You can tell this elaborate, two-part spectacle is more than mindless, popular entertainment because the choreographer, a major figure on Broadway, expects the audience to read.
