I mentioned in my post about the Victoria State Library in Melbourne that its front steps and lawn are a popular gathering spot where people linger and are sometimes treated to free musical entertainments.   Well, Monterey Public Library doesn’t have grand front steps or a lawn, but yesterday after school let out, we were treated to a spontaneous performance of show tunes by several local kids in their early teens.  They sang, among others, “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music and then a song from Les Miserables.  As I listened, I thought to myself, “I don’t know what to make of this younger generation, but I sure like it!”
