Hamilton

Curious and on a whim, I checked out the "Hamilton" Broadway recording from our library. 

The first time thru the first cd, I thought "I'm turning this in because I just don't understand 

the words."

But the music and the lyrics were catchy and, not having any plans to stop back by the 

library soon, it stayed in Betsy's CD player so I kept listening to it.

Then Friday night Tadd drove us somewhere and I wanted to share a couple of songs that 

were becoming my favorites. Plus, she adds with a twinkle, with him being a big history 

buff, I figured he could probably help me make sense of it.

Sure enough, between being able to ask questions and me not driving so I could concentrate 

on the words, I began to really enjoy both the music and the story even more.

Who knew? 

In fact, I haven't even started disc 2 yet. I'm still enjoying the first one so much and with 

each time thru, not only do I catch a little more, I also become more and more impressed 

with Lin-Manuel Miranda and his Gift of music, wit and making history both fun and 

interesting.
