Sound of Music

Have you seen the youtube video of the crowd in the Antwerp train station bursting into dance when the Do-Re-Mi dance is piped out of the central speakers?  So fun.

I've watched it like 5 times already.  It makes me smile and smile.  I LOVED The Sound of Music when I was little.  Loved it.  Waited for it to come on TV once a year (this was when we had 3 channels and PBS and you watched what they gave you when they gave it to you and were grateful) and ate it up.  We had the record set and my sister and I would listen to it on our huge HI-FI stereo (the cover was so heavy that if you weren't careful and it slipped, it could decapitate you - or at least I always worried it could) and sing and dance around the room.   Oh, we loved that movie.  I have it.  I'll have to get it out and watch it with Max.  Julie Andrews had the loveliest, clearest soprano - so joyful to listen to.  

It's funny how watching groups of people dancing can so invigorate you.  I remember feeling the same way when I saw Les Miserables at the Civic in college.  All those people singing and moving so passionately all together - it made you want to hunt down a French aristocrat and cut him down right there.  The feelings it inspired!
