The Sound Of Music

I've never been a musical fan, but it was either The Sound Of Music or You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, which was the first movie I ever saw on a big screen. The Ten Commandments may have been #1 ever (on tv, for Easter).

Either way, I saw both at Radio City Music Hall, and the sight of Julie Andrews' face so huge, pretty, and letting out such lovely sound, has always stuck with me. Aside from It's A Wonderful Life, this is the ultimate holiday film.

Herein some lyrics:

Good stuff.
