Let the Sunshine In - Emotional Moment

| life | nyc | music |

I took a trip to New York City at the end of May and had one of the best weekend of my life. While I was there I saw the musical Hair and although I have heard a lot about it throughout my life I never heard it , saw it, and honestly had no desire to see it at all. But, as fate would have it that is the musical I saw and I have to say that it was Amazing. It was beyond amazing. It was better then I could have ever imagined.

It is such a well done musical, and the best part is the story. It is so deep, and moving, and emotional. At the end of the show after the curtain call the audience is invited on stage and we are able to dance with the case to the song “Let the Sunshine In”

Well, thats the background to my little story.

Today when I was driving home from Washington, I was listening to the Hair soundtrack. I have already heard it in full about 15 times and it still does not get old. But for some reason while I was driving and the very last song came on. I just had an emotional outburst. There I was driving 80 miles an hour, down I-95 , singing at the top of my lungs, and tears in my eyes.

I have never been so moved.
