Although I didn’t actually own any showtunes during the Academy Days<\/em>, the musical was a part of my life at this time. VA did a musical every year. I always seemed to be involved at some level. Being at rehearsals night after night, it was difficult to not get into the music. The big standouts of that time were Damn Yankees<\/em> [which did not include Ted Nugent or Tommy Shaw] and Guys & Dolls<\/em>. I’m going to includeGodspell here even though we didn’t perform it. We did do an original gospel oriented piece and I was listening to my Aunt’s Godspell record at the time.<\/p>\n

Some of the memories of doing the musicals are so clear in my head i can smell them. Here are a few to give you the flavor. We’ll see if this unlikely influence does anything down the road.<\/p>\n
