My father. Alan W. Smith, was Musical Director of several productions of the King and I in Boston by the St. Paul Theatre Guild.

I am so proud of my father.

It was a wonderful time for a wonderful generation.

 

 

I have posted a few of my favorite songs from The King and I.

It is probably my favorite Broadway musical.

I often choke up and get goose bumps … in part because I think of my father, Alan Smith; and his dear friends and collaborators J. Arthur (Joe) Williams and Rev. A. Paul Gallivan (Father Paul).

It was a wonderful time for a wonderful generation: that of my parents. How I miss them; their deeds and their music.
