I know it's dating me, but South Florida always means Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. :) They still play that music in the Lord and Taylor clothing store as background music, and in my favorite Cuban restaurant down there too. I think that's pretty cool. :)

Not going to see the movie since I didn't even like the play. :) The only thing that's spectacular is this one song, and no one has ever sung it better than Elaine May, imo, both musically and emotionally, not Celine Dione, or Barbara Streisand or Hudson. I just always get emotional when I hear it. Gut wrenching.

So glad I'm not the only one who likes Disney songs, or maybe isn't afraid to admit to liking Disney songs. :)
Ed. One of my real loves is musical theater, what we call "Broadway music", and my favorite play is Les Mes.

Happy to be home from work, this is my celebration song:

Welcome back. Nothing like some fiddle music to express happiness. :)
My own personal, thank God work is over happy song: Cut loose.

Undoubtedly many fortunes of some Disney feature films - at least for the successes dated especially between the 60s and 70s - were due to first-rate soundtracks. New compositions by established artists (think of Elton John for the "Lion King" in more recent times) or beautiful reinterpretations and readjustments of classic compositions. What I perhaps prefer is the famous Sleeping Beauty waltz which draws heavily on that one by Tchaikovsky :)

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the Heart
Closer to the Heart
The Blacksmith and the Artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the Heart
Yea, Closer to the Heart
Philosophers and Plowmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the Heart
Closer to the Heart
You can be the Captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the Heart
Closer to the Heart
Well, Closer to the Heart
Yeah, Closer to the Heart
Closer to the Heart
I said, Closer to the Heart
Are you in gospel music mode? :)

Rivers loom large in many religions. There are numerous mentions of the River Jordan in Gospel music.
However, whenever I hear of the rivers of Babylon I immediately think of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love". Shows where my mind's at! :) His too! Did anyone ever celebrate physical love between man and woman better than he did?

One of the great things about being a parent is being able to relive those great films through your children. It's a wonderful excuse to see the world through a child's eyes. Even now, on the rare occasion, long after the children are grown, my wife and I will pull out a Disney feature, Beauty & the Beast, Snow White, or Cinderella, and watch them to enjoy the incredible skill and artistry of these movies. How exciting is must have been to be the first audience to see Snow White!
Children also let us go back to Disneyland again and again. I don't like what I've heard about recent changes to the park, but in the day is was grand!
