• Welcome to “well, That’s Show Biz!”. I am your host, Jeremy Freedman, and every week I bring you music from Broadway, Movies, and Entertainers along with some anecdotes, information, and commentary all based on a theme.

• We have had excessive heat and rain this year and a friend suggested the theme of Weather. I have done some weather songs within other themes like Spring and Earth Day but never strictly weather. So upon his suggestion, today’s theme is Weather. For Set 1, I focused on The Wind. We are going to start off with “They Call the Wind Maria'' from Lerner & Loewe’s Paint Your Wagon. Next we will hear Patrick Wilson sing “Breeze Off the River” from The Full Monty. Then we will hear “Children of the Wind” from Rags. And then we will hear the instrumental song “Tornado” from The Wiz. And we will close out this Wind set with Judy Kuhn singing “Colors of the Wind” from Disney’s Pocahontas. Here’s “They Call the Wind Maria”.
