Between "My Fair Lady" and "The Sound of Music," my heart was full as a lad. At the time, I was going to a convent/school in an old mansion every bit as ritzy as the house of Baron von Trapp, having had my life ripped apart by my parents' divorce. Loved Julie Andrews as the embodiment of love for children I'd seldom had.

And those flowers at the opening of "My Fair Lady" just blew me away on the big screen at the Cinerama in San Francisco!! And Audrey Hepburn... I've never seen a more beautiful woman encompassing both physical proportion and graciousness, with that heap of Chelsea comedy.

Can we please see movies like that again? I know it's hard, but wasn't it worth it?

...and with a long, slender neck like that of a Fender Stratocaster, a neck like no other.

Morning. Saw Oklahoma! at a spaghetti feed in Scotts Valley.
It was back in the late ‘70’s +/-. May have been in Santa’s Village. Some neurons forget.

Wow. Almost an exact parallel to my own life story.

My favorite will always be "Music Man".

(Though "Oklahoma" is a close 2nd, & I played Charlie Dalrymple in "Brigaddon" in HS - I used to be a rovin' lad! A rovin' and wanderin' life I had!)
