Hi all:
For quite a while I’ve been following Silverthreading blog and wanting to take part in one of the challenges or post shares she engages in. Not being very talented with pictures and managing to never have time for anything (and loving quotes) I thought Writer’s Quote Wednesday might be the right one. As Colleen has been keen on having videos posted, and I just did a post sharing quite a few videos, I thought this one might do.
From Rodgers and Hammerstein‘s musical South Pacific, the song ‘Happy Talk‘.
The quote would be: ‘You got to have a dream, if you don’t have a dream, how are you going to have a dream come true?’
This video has Anita Hall’s original voice rather than the dubbed version in the movie, although it is the scene from the movie.
Have a great and inspiring week.
Thanks to Colleen for this opportunity, thank to you all for reading and watching, and you know, like, share, comment and don’t forget to visit Silverthreading for the roundup next Wednesday!

Thanks Janet! I wanted to do some research for the post, but that song and the message stuck in my head. It’s enchanting in its own sweet and naive way. And magical like your hummingbirds!

South Pacific was and still is one of my best loved musicals. I knew all the songs by heart by the time I was 11 and I had my first crush on Lt. Cable… and cried buckets… here is a little but important reminder from Olga – Happy Talk.. and don’t forget the sign language.

Yes, sad. I saw an slightly weird version where Harry Connick Jr. played Cable and Glen Close was nurse Annie. She was too old for the part (he was also slightly older but I like his voice).
