== 'How far away?' - Hayford? ==
Is the song you mention in the last paragraph (my girl back home) the same one that has a lyric 'how far away, Pennsylvania, PA/Little Rock ARK?'  I'm thinking it is.  Since I've got that snippet in my brain, it has to be in a version I've seen; I'm thinking the movie.

This is essentially the first couple of paragraphs from the Wikipedia article, along with some other info, ALL of which I originally wrote for Wikipedia. The CZ version, therefore, is all my own words. Hayford Peirce 16:11, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Seeing as how you are a much better wordsmith than I, I think somehow rewording the first paragraph/sentence to link to the Rodgers and Hammerstein article would be good. Perhaps not even mention them as individuals? Just a thought. --Todd Coles 16:24, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
I dunno about the wordsmithing, hehe, but I am gonna do your suggestion in a few minutes -- I had already been mulling it over. Hayford Peirce 16:32, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Notes to add:

NYC Opera, 1987

Film versions; 1958? television one with Glenn Close.

2005 staged reading (er..'singing') lovely performance

'How far away?' - Hayford?
