When my dad and I went to see Hawksley Workman, back before Christmas, we decided we needed to plan another show outing right away. So he got us tickets to Oklahoma!, something I figured Stepmommy would enjoy too because we used to sing the songs together (when I lived at home the first time.)
We especially liked...
Poor Jud is dead, a candle lights his head
He's looking oh so purty and serene
He looks like he's asleep
It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer and we're running out of ice
____LOVE SONG OF THE DAY____
Gordon MacRae--what a voice.
Don't sigh and gaze at me Your sighs are so like mine
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine People will say we're in love

In my courtin' days I used to sing to my pretty little redhead girlfriend. Her response was a little kiss then she'd say. 'You're a bit of an eejit, aren't you'? Any way we got married and have been together now for 46 years and I'm still singing and she's still calling me a bit of an ejit.

What a sweet story. 46 years!
Why do I keep messing up my video postings? But yes, vair cute story.
I loved the songs too.
The teeny old woman sitting next to me started singing along to Poor Jud is Dead, when it came on. It was great fun.
