Cinderella Show October 8, 2010

Festival Dance is bringing the ballet Cinderella performed by the Eugene Ballet Company to the Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum in Pullman WA October 24 at 3:00pm

In anticipation of this event the theme for today's show is Cinderella.
There seems to be a version of the Cinderella story from nearly every continent and many cultures.
It is thought the first time the story was printed was in "The Miscellaneous Record of Yu Yang" a book dating from the T'ang dynasty (618-907 A.D.) in China. The oldest European version is an Italian tale from 1634 called Cenerentola.

Music:
I was trying to find music from the musical "Cindy" a version of Cinderella set in Harlem. I remember watching it when I was a kid. I found out it was aired on ABC in 1978 or 1979 ( I was born in 79 so I must have been watching a copy ).
