Writer’s Quote Wednesday. Video!

Writer's quote Wednesday. Thanks to Silverthreads
Writer’s quote Wednesday. Thanks to Silverthreading

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!

I am a language teacher, writer, bookworm, and collaborator at Sants 3 Ràdio (a local radio station in Barcelona, where I returned in 2018), who lived in the UK for 25 years and worked for many years as a forensic psychiatrist there. I also have a Ph.D. in American Literature and an MSc in Criminology. I started publishing my stories, in English and Spanish, in 2012 and now have over twenty books available in a variety of genres, a blog (in English and Spanish), and translate books for other authors (English-Spanish and vice versa). In 2020 obtained the CELTA certificate as a language teacher, and offer Spanish and English classes. Writers and readers both in English and Spanish are my friends, colleagues, and allies, and after living in the UK for over twenty-five years, have returned home, to Barcelona, Spain, searching for inspiration for my stories. I also love owls and try to keep fit following fitness YouTube videos.

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!

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).

Thanks for the opportunity Colleen! I was determined to do it this week and I thought I might as well carry on with the theme… Although I believe it’s a very good quote…:)
