• We have one last song after this set that I am sure that you will want to stick around for. In this set, we begin with Shirley Jones and Pert Kelton arguing during the “Piano Lesson / If You Don’t Mind Me Saying So” from the film version of The Music Man. Then a different sort of Mother’s Day song by Gene Barry, “Look Over There” from La Cage Aux Folles. We follow that with “Momma Look Sharp” from 1776. And we end this set with “Baby Mine” from Dumbo. Remember, we have one last Mother’s Day song after this set. Here’s “Piano Lesson / If You Don’t Mind Me Saying So” from The Music Man.
