In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
I don't remember if Dad initiated the outing, or if he came along, but one of the shows he went to with the family was a trio doing Allen Sherman songs.
(Dad I think was less likely to go to plays and shows, though one thing he made a point to do was take all of us sons at various times to both the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Pops.)
The group did amazing work with a piano where Allen Sherman had a small orchestra backing him up.
