Well, whether you are joking or not, would you please watch just one of them

When the kids were little we saw all of them, sometimes many times per day. As kids will do

We got out the sheet music, listened to the best versions on the rod/in the car

Along with the others, from Lerner, Lowe, Hart, Wilson, Mercer and our beloved Irving Berlin, of God Bless America

Most of whom were Russian Jew immigrants, or first gen, who adored and appreciated our country

You get the kids- ok the girls- to watch these and you get an entire dramatized, romanticized history of our -the US- foundation and development

Tge above mentioned Rodgers and Hammersteins
Seven brides for seven brothers
On the Town
Take Me out to the Ball Game
Anchors Aweigh
The Music Man ( Robert Preston Carolyn Jones)
Meet me in St Louis
Annie Get your gun

Cole porters kiss me Kate is a bit racy but …

Music, lyrics action

When the kids got to middle school they’d say- the kids are listening to music and I’m listening but it’s not good music

That’s because they were brought up on the real thing

There. Take it or leave it

But you have to sit for 4-12 year old girls and you’re all set.
