Sit Down, Annie and Elyse

All right, maybe all of y'all have already discovered this website, but for those of you who haven't, this is amazing! Bluegobo.com literally has video clips of so many lost Broadway treasures! When YouTube first got popular, we kept trying to look up videos of 1776 because we're obsessed with it (like we can sing every lyric to every song and recite every rant Mr. Feeney - er, John Adams - goes on), but literally couldn't find anything. But this site has stuff! So check it out for yourself! And we like this site because it caters specifically to musicals.

Thought we'd share a funny story with you while we're here, talking about 1776. This previous summer we had a big family reunion- dubbed "The Grand Slam" by our aunt- in Boca. We rented out one of the rooms in the Yacht and Racquet Club for a dinner and a sing-along. Yes, a sing-along. Our grandparents love that kind of thing. One of their grandkids, our cousin Marissa, is a professional singer who lives in LA (funny sidenote, in the movie Raise Your Voice starring Hilary Duff, Marissa was Hilary's SINGING double... way to go Hil, with your singing career). So Marissa was fine with indulging our grandparents, playing and singing a wide range of things. We weren't. Correction: Elyse wasn't. But long-story-short, there was a lot of fuss, so Annie, Elyse, and their mom ended up standing in front of everybody, and what song did we choose to sing? "Sit Down, John" from 1776. A Cappella. With three-part harmony. Classic.
