MinstrelSurfer { MovieMusicals }
I have been a fan of 'MUSICALS' from childhood and just love to share some of the fabulous song and dance numbers from the best films of this kind. Here you will find talented artistes the like of which we will rarely see again. We call it 'Hollywood's Golden Age' for that reason. Here is Music, Dance and Performances to lift the spirit!
Some of the films are hard to come by now and I am delighted to include a few clips that many viewers will not have seen before. Please join me and my subscribers in this feast of good songs, voices, dances and fun!
