I have always loved the simple innocence of Summer Magic. Not only does it have a delightful soundtrack written by the wonderful Sherman Brothers, but it has a timeless feeling to it that perfectly captures a lazy summer of days gone by.
So I was thrilled to find that the Proprietor of the Emporium is none other than Ossium "Osh" Popham (as portrayed in the movie by the delightful Burl Ives). It seems a natural fit for a character who did such a fine job running his own general store in Beulah. I wonder if he knows of any yellow houses for sale...
