bridging the generation gap

I just returned from a long weekend of excellent theater in Stratford, Ontario.  For the last few years I have taken a grandchild with me to let them experience live theater.  This year it was the turn of my second youngest granddaughter who is 15.  We saw four plays but the two that made me appreciate how far apart our generations are were "The Music Man" and :The Rocky Horror Show".  My granddaughter enjoyed "The Music Man" but told me that she had never heard any of the music from it before.  I was shocked. I thought the whole world knew "76 Trombones".  The tables were turned the next day when we saw the musical "The Rocky Horror Show".  You may know the movie version title as "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." I thought the play was very funny and also quite weird and when it was over I had to admit that I had never heard any of the music from it. So there we were at opposite ends of the generation span but, happily, still able to enjoy each other's shows, proving once again that theater is wonderful.
