Iowa Stubborn - The Music Man

So Iowa.  Land of corn, wind turbines, and Blue Bunny Ice Cream.  For those who think Iowa is a little backwards, I might also point out that it was an extremely early adoptor of significant laws regarding racial equality, as well as being the third state in the US to allow same sex marriage.

Today's song is from the musical The Music Man - whose plot chronicles the activities of con man Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader and sells band instruments and uniforms to naive townsfolk before skipping town with the cash, but then he falls in love, etc.  It's a lovely feel-good show with some of the most recognizable tunes (like "76 Trombones," "Ya Got Trouble," and "Till There Was You".

Happy listening!
