40 Yrs Later: The 7 Children In ‘The Sound of Music’

40  Yrs Later: The 7 Children In ‘The Sound of  Music’
‘The Sound of Music’ won the Academy  Award for Best Picture of 1965 and is one of the  most popular musicals ever  produced.

Remember the 7 children of the  Trapp family?

They  were having a reunion after 40 years
and all  were looking healthy and amazingly well…

NOW CURRENTLY…

It wouldn’t be funny if it weren’t so  true… Julie Andrews turned 69 and to  commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1,  actress/vocalist Julie Andrews made a special  appearance at Manhattan ‘s Radio City Music Hall  for the benefit of the AARP.  One of the  musical numbers she performed was “My Favourite  Things” from the legendary movie “The Sound Of  Music.”

Here are the actual lyrics she  used:

Maalox and nose drops and needles  for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new  dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up  in string,
These are a few of my favourite  things.
Cadillac’s and cataracts, and hearing  aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and  false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf  carts and porches with swings,
These are a  few of my favourite things..
When the pipes  leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go  bad,
I simply remember my favourite  things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Hot  tea and crumpets and corn pads for  bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked  with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and  hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my  favourite things.
Back pains, confused  brains, and no need for sinnin’,
Thin bones  and fractures and hair that is thinnin’,
And  we won’t mention our short, shrunken  frames,
When we remember our favourite  things.
When the joints ache, When the hips  break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I  remember the great life I’ve had,
And then I  don’t feel so bad.

Ms. Andrews received a  standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over  four minutes and repeated encores.  Please  share Ms. Andrews‘ clever wit  and humour  with others who would appreciate it.
