The M is for Michael

We got a free CD at Friday's curriculum swap organized by MVHL. It's called "Yankee Doodle Mickey" (produced by Disney, of course). It has 10 wonderful songs and we have run thru it three times already today on our car-rides (As an aside, I did not know Molly Ringwald sang so well!). The first song is "You're a Grand Old Flag." I knew Supriya liked the song (& the movie "Yankee Doodle Boy", a biopic about George M. Cohan). So I asked her who wrote the song, and our budding movie- and musical-historian says, "George Michael Cohan." Manisha is amazed, "I didn't know the M stood for Michael!" Supriya remembered that detail from the movie which we watched many months ago.
