We weren’t even all that close, but hers was my first funeral. The radio in the dressing rooms played A Day in the Life, by the Beatles and irrevocably fused the song to the loss. She was just a bit older than I was, and I remember walking around Clarke’s Good Clothes: a salesgirl in a stupor. That Gene Kelly kind of innocence ended at twenty when my friend died in a car crash. I saw that sometimes the dance was as important as the music.
I developed a craze for old MGM musical scores. We transitioned to rock opera in high school for a bit as we were all “sensations” with Tommy. It wasn’t pretty music it was visceral, immensely satisfying to belt out. That was the benefit of having older sisters, vicarious rebellion. We could only listen when he was at work. The racy, exotic music of Cabaret fascinated me but was less regularly available, evidently dad never approved of that one. Lyrics taught me there are multiple perspectives to a story. I listened in awe as the simple bible stories developed into much more complex relationships. Preteen years were spent with my sisters singing out each role in Jesus Christ Superstar. I have one of those freakish auditory memories: the songs, the symphony, and our arguments are all recorded note for note, word for word. No matter how long ago I listened, those lyrics still remain with me.
I would begin singing a known song only to bite my tongue in embarrassment, because no one else was singing-the story had altered. Mary Martin’s numbers didn’t suit Julie Andrews’s voice. The cutting room floor was littered with songs to suit particular stars, disposable in the next iteration.

Sometimes I was puzzled why the full songbook didn’t make it to the film. I could always sing along with the movie, at first showing, because I had already learned the music from the soundtrack. We grew up with Rogers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe usually the family fare blockbusters: Oklahoma!, Camelot, The Music Man. Books and music were shareable, communal gifts. Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.Īnd sweet Margaret remembers that for me.Ĭhildhood was overrun by many brothers and sisters and as such, was rarely graced by individualized toys. Even now, three months after the most recent loss, I find myself humming the refrain of Michael Smith’s The Dutchman. There are a few notable exceptions, deaths: those are accompanied by folk songs. Broadway in particular has underscored the story of my life, giving turning points a Glee mashup feeling.
I knew the lyrics for years before I understood what they meant, like a baby babbling. Childhood was spent losing at Monopoly and cleaning house to The Sound of Music and Cinderella. From my earliest memories, although I wasn’t the one putting the LPs on the Zenith turntable, there was always music playing in the background. You could actually still do it if you want by conquering La Plata and North America (NOT coring) So what would be the suggested course of action then? Just conquering without coring, moving capital to somewhere in La Plata and then again to Salish? That simple? Because as I said I did country tag to Brazil to see if that would allow me to move capital, so probably conquering stuff from La Plata won't amount to much in terms of achieving this stupid goal.Do you recall, as a teenager, getting that new album and listening so many times that you had it memorized within two weeks? I still do that. Unless you switch as early as possible without conquering anything it only gets harder and harder to switch capital.ġ.Colonize only 4 provinces in each region to not spawn CNsĢ.Planting colonizers on provinces make the provinces count towards development limit even if they arent fully colonizedģ.Uncored provinces count too, conquering provinces from CNs of other nations dont give overextension and if you dont have a CN in that region you keep the provinces until you cored em Originally posted by MrMonokel2000:Wow i am blind - there i thought you were Spain xD If I do that, should I finally be able to move my capital to Salish or is there another problem which would prevent me from doing so anyway? I'm however now given the chance to enact the decision "Flee to Brazil", which would turn me into Brazil and automatically move my capital. Only when our caiptal is the only province in a state on that continent, will it be possible." I get "We cannot move our capital to a colonial region, not while we still have a big heartland around it. Then I noticed the Azores where still there and they might be considered part of Europe. I got 13 coffee producing provinces out of the required 10, I freed Leon as a vassal making the mistake of conquering land from Spain for them, but I still needed someone to give my provinces to, so I just sold them all of my provinces for 0 except Lisbon. So I basically screwed up an awesome run just to get this achievement, and I'm still not able to move capital to Salish.
