I don't think I could do justice here about my "Fan Boy" status about the Sherman Brothers. Recently, I saw Richard Sherman in concert at the D23 Expo in Anaheim a few weeks ago. It was an hour of pure bliss. He was on a bill with Alan Menken, who played the second hour and was amazing also. Part of my love for Disney goes back to my interest in Walt Disney himself, and I'm always excited when people talk about working with Walt, and that's what Richard did in his portion of the concert. He played and sang bits of almost everything he and his brother wrote for the Disney company.
The cross section of everyone attending the concert was interesting (I waited in line for 4 hours, and I'd do it again in a second) people were very polite with their applause when Richard did his thing, but they went wild when Alan Menken did his part. I always wonder about these young Disney fans. Do people even know that Walt Disney was a person? Do they know that the company produced fantastic movies BEFORE "The Little Mermaid"?
