That's a wonderful memory of your father to have! I think the earliest memory I have of men singing in close harmony was "The Music Man". Saw it the first time in the theater in 1961 when I was summering with my family in Wildwood, NJ. Saw it on stage several times thereafter - was lucky to see excellent productions, even in dinner theater. "How Can There Be Any Sin In Sincere?" "Lida Rose", etc. Nothing to compare in today's world. How sad for the younger generation!

I REALLY enjoyed looking for this for you, Conor! (And even MORE - finding it!)

I got my first introduction to “The Music Man” when I was a sophmore in high school. It was my first year in Choir and for our Fall Concert, we sang a selection of songs from “The Music Man. Loved the story behind the musical and I still remember the songs we sang.

Thanks for nudging my memories. I’ll probably be singing some of those songs in my sleep tonight. <;^)
