My favorite part in the “Sound of Music” has always been “How do you solve the problem like Maria?” It’s a part of a song that seems to have buried itself in memory. Two years ago, I met this wonderful friend named Maria from Romania. So that sort of triggered a memory of that song and I eventually told Maria about this. Even when I was in high school, Music class started with “doe a deer a female deer...” or “when you know the notes to sing…” I actually could hum the latter and play the piano (without learning it) by just listening to myself hum. Then during a trip to North Carolina with my husband to meet some wonderful folks, we got into this topic about Sound of Music and Julie Andrews‘ career - from Mary Poppins to Sound of Music. We were basically talking about Julie Andrews‘ accent and how prim and proper she was when she talks. But when the guys blurted out that she has a “potty-mouth” I was like “what?!?” I don’t exactly know how that topic came up but that was coming from a Scottish friend. Between grasping that tidbit and the guffaw after that, I forgot to ask how our friend knew.
Anyhow, I am mentioning Sound of Music because I got this email from my friend Maria and she sent me a video of how 200 dancers went to the train station in Antwerp, Belgium and basically “rocked the house” with the tunes in “Sound of Music.” Thought I’d share these little “coincidences” and it might just trigger some good ole memory (and why I am blogging about it now). I wonder how many out there have watched the Sound of Music over and over again? Well here I am - guilty!
