July 4 tribute: recalling the John & Abigail Adams family theme

In the spirit of 1776, hope it's OK to bring out this oldie, which assumes a working knowledge of the lyrics to "Yours Yours Yours" from "1776"

JOHN & ABIGAIL ADDAMS FAMILY theme song

Thanks if you have time to include this in your July 4 celebration, (it's under 90 seconds)

Some thoughts on Brooklyn vs. Manhattan, and my "Brooklyn Boy" video link

The Times had articles today on what people prefer, noise or quiet.  But interestingly, the articles concentrated on Manhattan, where you really can't get away from the noise.

It occurred to me that in Brooklyn, you can find noise and excitement OR peace and quiet, depending on what you're in the mood for.  I think this was even at the heart of that battle over the noise emanating from the concerts in Brooklyn's Seaside Park near Coney Island, and why people who think like Manhattan residents couldn't quite empathize with the Brooklyn residents.

Brooklyn offers you choices, noise and peace often within minutes of each other.  Manhattan doesn't offer such a wide array of options.  Here's an opinionated musical salute to peace of mind in Brooklyn (note, however, that I've opted not to live in Brooklyn any more, at least for now.)

With gay marriage having just passed in New York...

As all the LGBT-wedding musicals around town go into rewrites for a happier ending....  I did a quick rewrite of the verse to my LGBT musical's ending.   Maybe it'll go over better with a happy ending anyway.  :)

Here's the link:

A song written to buck up a character named Mary, but which went over as a gay pride song for some friends who performed it, so here it is
