now i know where the edelweiss song comes from
i have often been ridiculed for never having seen "the sound of music." it's not that i intentionally avoid it, i have just never seen it. it's always on T.V., but I never want to watch it from the middle so i do the whole, "i'll just watch it later" thing. that, as i'm sure you all know, never happens. i've seen bits and pieces of the damn thing, but never the film in its entirety. how many times have you done that with a movie? if you're like me you do it a lot.
anyway, it was on t.v. last night. i was at my friend dietzer's house in baton rouge, lousiana. i had an interview in mobile, alabama and then a good friend of mine got married in baton rouge. she was a best friend back in the day, but we were immature and had a stupid falling-out in college so now we're only mildly resemble friends. anyway that was off the subject. so dietzer's parents came over to her apartment, along with her cousin kevin and we all sat around and played cranium interspersed with sound of music viewing. dietzer and i were on a team, her mom and cousin on another with her dad being the "lifeline." that's a little thing the dietz family added to the game to make it more fun. anyway it was great cause her dad is almost as into the movie as her mom so we were only really allowed to play or talk during commercials. maybe that had something to do with my missing the question about john glenn or not being able to build a picket fence out of clay, but i really can't say for sure. what's important is that i realized that i already knew all of the songs in S.O.M. adelweiss and the "doe a deer" one and "so long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, goodnight, " and many others. (in case you were wondering i totally looked up how to spell auf wiedersehn). it was like my life all of the sudden had meaning. i knew the origin of all of these tunes. the one last piece in the puzzle. o.k., i'm being a little melodramatic, but it really was amazing that i could know all the words to all the songs without ever having seen the movie.
it's nice to know where it all came from.
i have but one task...to see the whole thing from beginning to end. i'll just have to see it later...haha
