The other thing that makes it neat is that it's based on true story - true family.....I understand there are Von Trapp family members who live in this country now and who run a Van Trapp lodge up in the North East - have a coworker that has been there for skiing.
How glad I am that their family escaped death by the Nazi's.
1962: Saw Sound of Music and Camelot on Broadway when I was 19. It was quite a thrill. Scrambled eggs were $7.00 at the Latin Quarter. (50 cents at home).
