Sound of Music fans...

Amy, you had mentioned The Sound of Music in your pattern thread, and I almost posted this there - but I didn't want to hijack your thread! I found this at a flea market today, and I thought it was so cool! It's written by the real Maria Von Trapp, and was released with this cover in 1965 when The Sound of Music was released. It was only fifty cents, so even though I actually do have this book already, I bought it for the cover.

OH WOW SAVANNAH!!!! WHAT A TREASURE YOU FOUND!!!!

That is really neat!

What a cool find!

That's really cool, Savannah!

awesome

I love it!! Wow, 50 cents! You must have been surprised when you saw my thread in the LH section, involving the Von Trapps! How ironic!

That's wonderful. I love that scene on the front cover.

So cool.

Wow, 50 cents! What a great find!

I would have bought it for the cover too!

I'm a "Sound of Music " fan too. I picked the fanaticism by my auntie who absolutely LOVED this movie. She knew all the lines by memory and could dance every song in it with the perfect choreography.

Oh, by the way...Did you know that William Anderson, the same guy who wrote so many books and booklets about Laura Ingalls Wilder and his family also wrote about the Von Trapps?

Vanesa.

For those who love this movie, I wanted to give a heads up of it being scheduled for TV this coming Sunday. It is being shown from 6:00-10:00 pm Central time. The reason it is so long, you ask? Well, it is being shown as a "Sing A-Long", you know, as in "follow the bouncing ball". All the songs will have the words at the bottom of the screen, along with a ball bouncing on each word as it is sung! How fun it that going to be for little ones that know how to read??? Anyway, it is going to be on this coming Sunday, December 21st, on ABC and starts at 7:00 pm, 6 Central time.

"The Sound of Music: Sing-a-Long
6:00 PM 4 hr 1965
The enduring 1965 Best Picture Oscar winner tells the story of the Von Trapp family in pre-World War II Austria, and the Rodgers and Hammerstein score includes "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "Edelweiss," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and the title song."

What fun!! Who wants to have a Sound of Music party??

Do - re - mi - mi - mi!!!!!

They are playing this movie on CTV this Sunday i believe. A sing along one.

Glad it will be showing there as well.  So cool for little ones that can read....

You are SO right! Maybe you can post something in the Town Gossip, see how many are into the movie, and go from there. If there are enough people, we can have a Sound of Music themed party. Ready? GO!

Aww Sorry I missed this post ladies...I liked your board party idea! Had no idea this sing-along was going on. Very cute for children! Neat that they're still playing Sound of Music at Christmas time!!
