awesome sound of music

there was no post from me last night because i was watching ‘the sound of music’ on NTV7. i love the sound of music. to me it is the best musical movie. the sound of music is one evergreen, popular movie that i can watch over and over again without getting tired of it.

of course the first time i watched it was decades ago when it was on the big screen. after watching it, i got hooked to it. when it was shown on TV many years back, irecorded it on a video tape. then i bought the cassettes and everyday i played the songs, so much so that i had learned ‘by heart’ all the songs! now i cannot remember by heart all the songs but some of them. i love all the songs, notably ‘maria’, ‘so long farewell’, ‘my favourite things’, ‘edelweiss’ and of course ‘the sound of music’.

do you know that the sound of music is the most successful american musical ever made? it was based on a true story, from a book written by maria von trap entitled “the story of the the trapp family singer”. you can read about how her book become the most famous musical film and broadway play here.
