Yesterday, we were listening to a new recording of showtunes and standards that we bought last summer while on vacation. A song came on that I’d never heard before. So I researched it on Google, found out is was from a little-known broadway musical I’d never heard of, and within minutes was watching a landmark performance of it on youtube from the 1979 Tonys. This was while whizzing across western Oklahoma in a Subaru, using my iPhone. What a lucky bunch we are to live in a time when we have such resources as artists and people, and the technology to take advantage of it. I hope all of our holidays are full of joy and thankfulness.
Here is that performance of “Fifty Percent” by Dorothy Loudon.
