Updated info for orchestra in Damn Yankees 1997 production

I noticed that no musicians were listed on the site - apparently that 
info has been lost?  I played alto saxophone (and clarinet, I think) in 
that production, but for the life of me cannot remember the director 
nor any of the other musicians.  It was a small pit band, as I recall.
