Last night, our Ruhi Book 1 study circle went to dinner and a piano bar. Our group is rather eclectic. (I use this word because it's one of the words I've contributed to our facilitator's vocabulary. He originally hails from Austria.) We range in age from 11 to 70-something, with varying interests and experiences. The happenings of last night took place without the 11-year-old. I'd never been to a piano bar. Very mellow.
While there, I realized that my two favorite musicals, are about people escaping persecution - The Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof. The latter is the first movie I remember seeing, when I was like 4, at this movie theater that no longer exists, in Old Metairie. We grew up singing the songs of both. Of course, the political and historical components of the movie escaped me until I was older, but it didn't hinder my enjoyment.

Yes, I do have FOTR.
