Volume 11: The Sounds of Richard Rodgers

My dad has more than just trumpet players, jazz music and Italian songs in his collection. He and my mom loved broadway music. You’ll hear many of the greats throughout this podcast, but there was one that was head and shoulders above the rest.

From The Sound of Music to Oklahoma! to South Pacific, Richard Rodgers helped change the face of Broadway musicals, giving them stories and making them both memorable and “hum-able.”
