1961 i was a New Zealand Infantry soldier aged just 21yo. This musical cast has been a favourite of mine almost my whole life. I still remember most of the lead singers names and admired them all. Bob, Veteran. NZ.

Thank you for your service, sir. Admittedly Boulter was probably the best, even if he was a damn Kiwi. Greetings from Oz. I was 25 ten days ago, and love the same music.
