Eric has a great post about his Sunday. Seems TCM had a day of Musicals....ahhhh....what's not to love about that.
Well, it appears Gigi was one of the choices. Not one of my favorite musicals, I must admit, but ohhhh do I love this particular song. It just makes me smile!!
Yes, I have a soft spot for men who really APPRECIATE the gentler sex......
Anyway.....growing up, Mama Vi was particular about what we were allowed to watch and listen to. Musicals were the preference. See, the plan was I was SUPPOSED to grow up and be on Broadway. So Mama started my training early. I was in dance class at the age of three. Piano lessons at five and voice lessons at 10.
Yeah, it was all about the music. And it was either "musicals" music or classical. No options there.....
So, of course, watching all those musicals over and over again, I developed my favorites.
My very favorite? South Pacific. Thinking about it now, that's kinda funny, given my love and admiration for our Military......
I always loved this number.....
and so you know.......for as long as I can remember I've had a soft spot for Stew Pot.....that voice..... well, and he's not built so bad either......and yes, I noticed that at a VERY early age.....
And while we're on this subject (well, *I* am anyway) I can still remember the first time I really HEARD this next song. His voice melts me......call me sappy, call me sentimental.....but this just does me in......
Ahhhh.....romance......it's all about the romance.....
OK - back to my day of business and issues....but thanks to Eric, I've got some wonderful music to keep me grounded.
Thanks for the reminder Dude!!

I love the old musicals, all of 'em. Gigi isn't my fave, either, but that song makes me smile too. ;)
