Musical Sunday!

Whew. Had a very busy day today, so this week's Musical Sunday post is just a question:

What is the deal with New Yorkers in musicals wanting to move to Santa Fe? Is this some sort of musical theater conceit I don't know about? Do actual New Yorkers dream of moving to New Mexico? I've never been there - is Santa Fe really that great?

I've never heard of this trend. New Mexico is gorgeous, but it's more about the great outdoors than the cities for me. Santa Fe was picturesque but really touristy in the city center. There were a couple excellent brew pubs and I love New Mexican food.

The desert and the clean air were wonderful. I can understand why artists are inspired by the colorful landscape. I couldn't stay hydrated though, Woke up several times in the night having to drink more water at the higher (for me) altitude.

Heh, I don't know if it's a trend so much as "two songs from different musicals about Santa Fe." But it did strike me as funny.
