I especially enjoyed the yodelling duet with Julie Andrews and Maria Von Trapp (near the 2 minute mark)

Who knew the real Maria could sing?!

With my dial-up connection I can’t watch the video but I did just get through watching “The Sound of Music”.

Our class song for the Class of 65 was “Climb Every Mountain”
Edelweiss is my one of my favorite songs period. I guess it was written by Rogers or Hammerstein or maybe both.

Ping to watch this later. My friend read Maria Von Trapp’s memoirs, that I guess, maybe the movie was based on.

I’m pretty sure they took a bunch of liberties with the story, but my impression from my friend is that it is in spirit true.

But I’m guessing the whole DO-A-Deer bit was made up.

However, judging from Sound of Music and Gone with the Wind, you can make some gosh darn fine clothes out of draperies!

I love musicals, I loved this one. Is there anyone that can write music like this anymore?

Classic. Thanks for posting. My dad and mom were watching “The Sound of Music” on ABC tonight so I’m sure they would like this.

Of course she could sing. The movie was based on a book she wrote about her life. (A big clue would have been that Julie Andrews plays the role of a singing nun named Maria who goes to take care of the von Trapp children and teaches them ...to sing.)
