All the sounds of the earth are like music


Growing up, my parents listened to classical music and Broadway musical soundtracks at home, so this was the music I heard as a kid.  This gave me a pretty good knowledge of show tunes and their lyrics, like this one from the musical Oklahoma!  It is a beautiful song and I think of it all the time when I see the August corn fields full this time of year.


The beginning of this clip is the song

Oh, that's right! How could I forget the Scottish and Hungarian folk records, 'Up With People' albums, steel drum collections, Music of Hawaii, and Dad's omnipresent Lawrence Welk?
