The women singing “Music, Music, Music.”
That Mom in the middle (second from the left).
Tonight (March 16, 2013), Pam and I attended a dinner theater at Mom and Dad’s church, Calvary United Methodist in Fort Wayne, Ind. After a swiss steak meal, we enjoyed an hour-long program of song featuring old American songs, the type included in the hypothetical Great American Songbook. Mom was part of the singing cast–probably around 20 people, plus instrumentalists.
They did 30 songs, but most of them were very short. I recognized about a dozen of them, including:
- Edelweiss
- Love is a Many Splendored Thing
- I Left My Heart in San Francisco
- Memories
- Three Coins in the Fountain
- Zip-a-Dee Doodah
- Singin’ in the Rain
- The Band Played On
- In the Good Ol’ Summertime
- A Little Bit of Luck.
A very enjoyed, and often humorous, program, and it was obvious that the singers had a great time.
I just read a great story about an 11-year-old clay shooting champion from Butte, Montana. Two illegal aliens broke into her home while her parents were away. She grabbed a shotgun and killed both intruders. One was armed with a .45 handgun stolen during a previous break-in, during which they murdered gun’s owner.
A woman in Alberta, Canada, was out hiking with her boyfriend when a huge grizzly bear suddenly charged at them. Fortunately, she was armed with a 25 calibre Beretta Jetfire pistol. Most people would say a 25 calibre pistol is too small to stop a human attacker, let alone an aggressive grizzly bear. But not in her case.
