i love and adore the Sound of Music! i still remember seeing the movie for the first time at my grandpappy and grandma's basement in portland, oregon at the age of 8. i fell in love with the story, the music, the scenery, the overall happiness that exuded when good triumphed over evil.
it was a dream come true when netter and i traveled to salzburg in the spring of 2006. we were like two giddy americans entranced with seeing all of the filming locations in the flesh. salzburg is truly a magnificent and golden city.
you can imagine my excitement when i learned that certain movie theaters were playing the film in its sing-along format on the evenings of tuesday, october 19th and october 26th. i knew that i would be buying a ticket to see this majestic movie on the big screen for the first and probably only time. netter and i attended last night and enjoyed the cinematic splendor of the movie whilst singing along with our movie watching comrades. i must say that i got a bit teary when peggy wood was singing climb every mountain. it just brought back all of the wonderful moments i shared with my grandmother who has been gone these almost 10 years. i still miss and think of her everyday.
i was also happy to learn that the queen bee, oprah winfrey (herself a huge sound of music fan) had the entire von trapp family actors back on her program. it is scheduled to air on Friday, October 29th. my DVR will be ready and willing to record it. below is a quick preview to whet your whistle.
