Synopsis: I've Got Music, Who Could Ask For Anything More?
Jeremiah, a fraternal twin to Kennedy-Anne, finds himself as a child, explaining to the doting onlookers, that he's not an identical twin to his twin sister. Throughout his childhood, and now into his adulthood, he sings through life to help keep him grounded and focused on his ultimate goal: to become a broadway singer. There isn't an occasion for which Jeremiah can not find a song, or create a jingle. He hopes to be discovered for his musical prowess and his God-given talents, but discovers something about his parents that leaves him singing a different tune.
When Jeremiah's twin sister, finally tells her parents that she has a love interest and they learn that he attends the local Synagogue in Riverdale Bronx, and NOT the Cathedral, let's say they were not belting out "La Heims!"
Excerpt: I've Got Music, Who Could Ask For Anything More?
As Jeremiah entered the room, he was overcome with unexplainable joy! He noticed that the room was sprinkled with friends, family, flowers and an exquisite, catered, selection of Irish hors d'oeuvres and Italian aperitifs. This occasion was in his honour, as loved ones came to celebrate his acceptance into Juliard. Yes, the world renowned Juliard School of Performing Arts! Jeremiah lept for joy and clicking his heels, as he sang "I've got music, I've got rhythm, I've got my man (school), who could ask for anything more." His mind rushed to his Móraí (MO ree), grandmother, and her first time at the Harlem Opera House to see Ella Fitzgerald. Now this was truly a first for Jeremiah. He was making family history as his dreams were coming true.
Jeremiah’s fascination with the rich history of that new Alma Mater holds, ignited his regal blood imagination. Jeremiah swore that we had blue blood running through our veins. Once the home to the Vanderbilts, railway and shipping empire builders, this will now be Jeremiah's new address for the next four years: 49th East 52nd Street. He plans to build his musical empire and declare his own identity over the course of those years. 'It is a dream come true', Jeremiah exclaims! It is at Juliard that Jeremiah discovers the Zabulufuse. He makes it his own.
