I love showtunes. grin There I admitted it! crazy I feel better now.

A good showtune has a way of planting itself in your brain and remaining there for years and years. It can find a way to pop up at the most unusual and unexpected times.

I recently traveled to Seymour Indiana, the home of John Cougar Mellencamp and this came to mind and has been stuck in my minds playback for the past several weeks.

Good for you. A real man is not to proud to admit he loves show tunes. And going right to the Julie Andrews card, nice play.

Opps, My bad, YouTube had moved over to the next video when I switched screens and there was Julie. But of course you do know that Natalie Wood's singing was dubbed by Marni Nixon. Natalie did look wonderful though... grin

She also had a talented son.

Not only do I like show tunes I have The Ultimate Broadway Fake Book plus Note Norton's accompanying fake disc. These are a must for show tune lovers.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

The Sound of Music.....

Just the thought of that sends shivers down my spine.


You can find my music at:

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Another favorite show tune:

The King Of The High C's


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4o4vDYQKA4


"Who stands before you, and what I do,
How I make my living. May I?
Who am I? What am I? I am a poet.
What keeps me busy? Writing! And what do I live on? Nothing!
In poverty I'm cheerful, I am a prince who squanders
Arias and couplets of longing."
