We don't often go down the Musicals and Music Theatre path here at Third Island, but for this delightful piece of early exotica we can make an exception. With its hints of eastern splendour and memorable tunes it makes a worthy addition to any collection. The 'March Of The Siamese Children' has become an exotica standard - covered amongst others by Roy Harte and Milt Holland in their album 'Perfect Percussion' which can be found elsewhere on the blog.

Thank you for this Rogers & Hammerstein musical, one of only a handful of musicals I do not have in my collection.

I am a parttime social worker in a home for the aged and dying. The music of yesteryears you so generously offered in your blog helps to enliven the remaining years of these old people. It brings back the smiles on their faces and it makes life so meaningfully to walk down memory lane with them when they hum the tunes again, thanks to your contributions.
Keep the good work going. Please do not shut down your blog. Keep at it forever. Easy listening is evergreen.
