It is a bit like the musical equivalent of The Bible in the Western World: you can find one in each home!
Everyone has grown up with the LP(33.33 RPM) vinyl record, or the cassette, or the CD, or the VHS Cassette, or the DVD, or the VCD in their homes. Its an integral part of our childhood. We know the story scene by scene, we know the songs not for note, we know the lyrics word for word! Just play Do-Re-Mi or My Favourite Things at a party and everybody. the elders, the moms and pops and the kids will sing along!
Thats the power of *The Sound of Music*.
A simple tale of love. and caring. and adventure. and heroism. and travel. and war. and disruption - told through Music. Crafted with artistic fervour; and a gentle human touch.
No matter how old you are today, you will always remember Maria. the Captain with seven children. the Mother Superior at the Abbey. the Von Trapp children.
And those marvelous, timeless, unforgettable songs: The Lonely Goatherd, Edelweiss, Climb Every Mountain, You Are Sixteen.
Thank you, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. for the Music. for the Memories. for the Magic. and for so many happy childhood memories!
