1776 – Hatching an Egg
An evening pause: For the Fourth of July, this song from the 1976 movie version of the 1972 musical, 1776. Not only did the musical capture the essence of the men who made independency happen, it is also a rollicking and entertaining work of art.
I last posted this piece last in 2010. Time to watch again.
Michael McDonald – Hits Medley
An evening pause: Performed live 2009. I think this is a good way to start the weekend.
