@ruadhrose I couldn't agree with you more. I saw it in the second grade on a field trip. Wonderful.

2:14 I just thought of the lion from "The Wizard of Oz"

Howard da Silva plays Franklin. He really makes this musical. One of my favorite musicals. This cast has some real stars.  Well cast.

How appropriate for this very humid Monday morning in the desert! The musical 1776 is on TCM today 2:00 p.m. EST/11:00 a.m. / PST. Check it out. Some fun songs and a great show for the entire family.

FEENEH

[Linmyra]

the reason for Ben suggesting the Turkey was because Wild Turkeys are intelligent where Tame Turkeys are quite dumb.

[dramusic]

@Linmyra A most excellent point. It seems as though I have spent my entire life,attempting to educate people as to the relative mental capacities of various fauna. Pigs and turkeys are perfect examples of how ignorant most humans are about animal intelligence. Wild turkeys are indeed vastly more intelligent than their domesticated, concentration camp exisitng cousins. Pigs are probably the fifth, or sixth brightest beasts.

[KingPalantine]

@Linmyra Franklin was actually being sarcastic, implying anything would be better than an eagle.

[Freakears]

@KingPalantine No, he was being serious, for the same reason given here.

[Linmyra]

@KingPalantine *shrug* I was only quoting what my history teacher told us on the reason for the turkey suggestion

[curlytoes79]

@Linmyra Not one of Ben Frank's better ideas...lol.

[tawnyclawx]

I would be so effing pissed if I were represented by a turkey...

[animefan294]

the turkey!

[drobin3149]

Franklin is played by Howard Da Silva.

[Pauliebuck]
