  7. Musical Interlude: This song came to mind today for no real reason, so I'm sharing it. I first heard it decades ago, in a small bookstore where they were playing show tunes for whatever reasons. Thankfully there was hardly anyone there; I found myself starting to strut, bump, and grind (subtly) in tune with this song, and it took me years to find out what it was and where I could find it....

    "That Terrific Rainbow," performed by Barbara Ashley, from the Broadway show "Pal Joey."
