I've been downloading a lot of Broadway music. The reactions of my children are interesting.

Kevin keeps requesting "Man of La Mancha."
David goes around singing "Lullaby of Broadway."
James groans "Oh noooooo" and puts his headphones on to listen to Primus.

Well, two out of three ain't bad. :)

Which two? Kevin and James, right?

I loved Man of La Mancha when I was a kid.

Well, I don't download music, but let's take a look at what I've got for CD's.

Broadway music: none
Primus: many

(I'm not home so am not actually looking so I can't actually verify a count)

I wish I'd ever found a recording of "The Sound of Music Man of La Mancha", or remembered enough to write down. It was brilliant.

I'm gathering from this that Primus is some sort of music or perhaps a band?

my CD collection: La Cage Aux Folles, Camelot, Carousel, A Chorus Line, Falsettoland/March of the Falsettos, South Pacific, and Hair. I think that I've got non-Broadway covers of "I Enjoy Being A Girl" and "I Feel Pretty" as well as a few songs from The Wizard of Oz.

Who me? A gay man? (and I'm currently listening to rather old filk about Bowers v. Hardwick)

Funny, I don't much like Primus or Man of La Mancha.

But I regularly mix songs from musicals with such groups as Jon Spencer Blues Explosion or The Butthole Surfers. I mean it's all the same 12 notes isn't it?

sailing the seas of cheese was awesome though when it came out, I must admit. I mean who ever heard Bass Playing like that? Kind of makes you want to add an extra verse into 76 trombones for Les Claypool to solo on.

How would that go I wonder...

"There was Les Claypool on the bass guitar
Noodling Noodling all over the neck.
Pops and slaps and chords so strange
To make your mindset rearrange
and leave your parents screaming WHAT THE HECK!"

Then there'd be an instrumental bridge kind of like the one that follows the similarly screamed "A FULL OCTAVE HIGHER THAN THE SCORE" verse but in this case the bridge would be an improvised bass solo so technically complicated it would make Flea whimper.
