Wow, great job Dave! That interview was awesome!!! What a fascinating guy!

Thanks so much Lisa. He was very open with me, and we had a great conversation. There's even more to the interview (about another third more), that I cut out.

We talked about how author P.L. Travers didn't like Walt Disney's treatment of her book "Mary Poppins".

How Julie Andrews burst onto the world scene with the role of Mary Poppins.

Dick Van **** reprising his role of Mr. Dawes Sr. in the LA Production of Mary Poppins this past January.

as well as which Carousel of Progress song is Richard Sherman's favorite.

I'm going to make the complete interview available on the blog.

Oh! I can't wait to hear the rest of the interview! I am a HUGE Mary Poppins fan. It was so interesting to hear about how they developed the story because nothing much happened in the book.

I loved hearing about how they developed and came up with the Small World song. It was truly moving to hear Mr. Sherman say the words of the song like he did. I would love to hear him do it in person one day.

I went to Amazon to see if there are any books about the Sherman brothers. There is one, but it's long out of print and sells for over $70. After hearing your interview though I'd sure love to read it.

Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed the interview Dave. Great job! Can Mr. Sherman come on PC2.0? John? Can you imagine listening to all his stories and interesting details about Disney. I can dream can't I...

Thanks so much for the feedback Kate and Sharon. I appreciate it.

Sharon, dream big, dream big...

The interview was really great! How in the world do you make contact with these people to interview them in the first place? I am so jealous! You have really done a wonderful job on all of your interviews!

I loved the interview. "Great big beautiful tomorrow" is a great song, interesting to hear the origin

Just finished listening to the podcast. I must say, I do NOT get choked up over much, but man, the Small World part, heck, the whole thing, brought tears of joy to my eyes. What an absolutely wonderful man, and a great interview!

Thanks.....to both of you, for a short time in a reality I only wish I could live in.

I loved this interview. I got all teary eyed hearing him quote It's a Small World. I don't think I will ever hear that song the same way again. It was so beautiful listening to it more as a poem, than a song. Very sweet. Great interview.
