I'm Thinking Too Much

My mind has been going in weird directions lately, but not in ways that will make me money. For example, I noticed striking similarities between the musicals "The Sound of Music" and the "Music Man" (this is especially odd, considering that I was never fan of musicals):
-- In the Music Man a travelling salesman sweeps into town and transforms people's lives with music.
--In The Sound of Music, a nun arrives to work as a governess for the children of a wealthy single man, then transforms the children's lives with music.

Then occurred to me that The Sound of Music is variation of the Jane Eyre story, both featuring a nun who becomes a governess for a wealthy single father's children, falls in love with the father, leaves the family to return to the nunnery, than finally leaves the nunnery to marry the wealthy man.

    Yeah but The Sound of Music is liberally based on a true story.
