    Small world, isn't it.

    Now watching Brigadoon on TCM. One of the denizen is one Charles Dalrymple. Darned if I don't have a distant cousin living in the village!

    He's ready to marry a Capmbell lass. That's trouble brewing.

    The theatrical costumes are interesting. The kilts are all worn up to the ribs as done in olden times. The range of tartan is fascinating I wish I could identify more of it.

    It's been ages since I last saw the movie on TV. It looks great on a UHD flatscreen. I wish shows like it were still coming out of Hollywood. Broadway show music is my favorite next to opera. Any others here share a liking for the melodies?

    I saw Brigadoon on the London stage a few years ago, I thought it was the best stage musical I had ever seen, spectacular colour, great catchy songs, really enjoyable and far better than modern day musicals.

    Benning Boy,

    I also just finished watching the same showing of Brigadoon on TCM. I enjoy watching it whenever I can. Unfortunately, I only caught it because I happened to wake up about two hours early in order to prepare for work. It is going to be a slow day.

    Anyway, the only time I ever saw the play production was at my old high school production in 1971. I was only in the eighth grade. So it has been a while. I remember I liked it a lot. Kind of wish I could be 13 again and watch it over. But I guess that is not going to happen. And, besides, I did not have my kilts then. So I guess I better stay barely this side of sixty.

    Hope you all have a good day and a better weekend.

    Tom
