Musical Confessions

I confess that pretty much anything musical will get stuck in my head.....for years.

I confess that while driving the other day I suddenly remembered all the words to Walker Texas Ranger's opening theme. What is that? WHY?

I confess that because of setting it to a musical rhythm I can say the alphabet backwards without any trouble at all.

I confess that I was in several musicals in high school. I remember all my songs....and all my lines.

I confess that stage makeup and costumes always look slightly frightening....

Little Shop of Horrors Do-Wop Girl---I was Crystal.

I confess that I know the preamble due to School House Rock. Seriously I wish I would have set all my homework to music...I would have had no trouble remembering then.

I confess that musicals are what I prefer to watch while I'm sick. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is my favorite sick day musical.

I confess that I actually got my first part in a musical without trying out. They had a girl quit and they needed a high soprano...so I got a phone call at home that night and they asked if I would be willing to participate. I was pretty flattered and thought Why Not? And thus my school musical career began.
