Our Song of the Week department isn't really a request spot. However, following last week's selection, Steyn Clubber Raymond Kujawa wrote from Washington State:My father was a weekend accordionist, and I went with him on a few of his gigs in the mid 70's in some of the social halls in the suburbs around Philadelphia.

Happy President’s Day, however you celebrate. Many musicals feature presidents: Hamilton, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Annie, to name a few. I also enjoy the musicals that feature first ladies, such as Michael John LaChiusa’s First Lady Suite and First Daughter Suite. Perhaps we are all listening to one of these musicals today. Today I’m also celebrating that season seven is underway.

I'm clearly in the major, major minority. Honestly though, I didn't enjoy this. It's certainly worth noting musicals are probably my least favourite genre, but I'm still more than capable of finding entertainment with them - e.g. 'The Greatest Showman', 'The Sound of Music' and others. 'Singin’ in the Rain', however, simply didn't connect with me. There's one, maybe two, good songs that I had already heard, while Gene Kelly (Don) is solid fun in the lead role.
