The good ole' days

Recently we have booked a trip to the lush Islands of Hawaii. After doing some research I discovered that there really is a Bali Hai. For anyone who has watched the movie "South Pacific" you will remember happy talking in the lagoons of Bali Hai. When I started mentioning this movie, I have begun to realize that the older moves have been lost and forgotten.

Growing up I loved to sit with my Dad-because he's a good dad- and watch musical after musical. I have watched My Fair Lady so many times that my parents bought me the VHS and I played that until it began to drag. I was in love with the songs, dresses and Eliza Doolittle. The movies now have half clad woman and no plot. Back then the plot were all the same...boy sees girl, girl sees boy. Girl taunts boy, girl gets boy...you get the drift..and in between each section they felt the urge to sing out their feelings. And lets face it, would any go to Oklahoma had it not been for the open song of "oh what beautiful morning".

Even now, musicals are more popular than ever with the revolution of such shows as Glee. I find myself wanting to watch he next one, just so I can sing along. Even the dog starts to sing along when I get louder.

Think of all of the life lessons I have learned from musicals:
1.Stocking someone you just met is OK as long a you dance around on the street where they live
2. You've got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true
3. Remember your favorite things to ward off thunderstorms
4. Somewhere over the rainbow, is where the munchkins live in a lollipop land
5. Clang, Clang, Clang went the trolley..It is always good to know trolley sounds
6. Summer love can turn into a real romance if you dress all sleazy
7. Sisters are devoted to each other unless there is a man involved
8. Hot chocolate is not just a drink
9. Singing n the rain can be fun if you wear the right outfit
10. Tomorrow is only a day away
