Sister Act - Oh, Maria!

[EzekielsWheels]

Anyone remember this movie and this song?

. Nostalgia trip.

One Easter, my oldest daughter had a soccer tournament, so we ended up going to the Spanish Mass. Doesn't matter; we both know a little Spanish. It was celebratory and triumphant as an Easter mass should be.

Then they came to the recessional. "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today." It's an old Episcopalian favorite, so Mrs. Barbarian was very happy. But of course, the musicians had guitars, accordion, and trumpet. Picture the hymn played by mariachis.

And my youngest daughter decided "this place rocks!" and started dancing in the aisle, while my oldest daughter was elbowing me to stop her and father Publius was beaming over all of it.

I figure William Booth had it right:"Why should the devil get all the best tunes?"

My wife and I saw the stage version. It was a very good show. This is the big title song, excellently done by Patina Miller from the London cast album. One of Alan Menken's best songs.
