The music group Mother’s Choice were the featured band at Apple Annie’s Courtyard. Sam and Susan Barnes, Ron Cole, and Charlie Lesink were very kind, singing the 8 ½ minute long American Pie every time our kids requested it, which was every time we were there!
The group was included on a live album recorded at Church Street Station called “Sights and Sounds of Church Street Station.” Several songs by members of the group are included on the album but a localized parody of “Charlie on the M.T.A.” was a favorite of everyone who had ever visited the Magic Kingdom and traveled on the monorail.
