OT: Julie Andrews...my favorite things....
 

To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, 2006, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's RadioCityMusic Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things", from the legendary movie "The Sound Of Music."

Here are the 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 favorite things.

Cadillacs 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 favorite things.

When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite 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 favorite things.

Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache,
When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
It's 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 with repeated encores.)

hehe...bizi. i watched a tapin of the show. ishe was great. sure confused grandmonkey..he kept trying to sing with her...with the word from the sound of music. lol

Do you remember that she suffered loss of her singing voice following vocal cord surgery in 1997.
It is good that she is singing again.

I'd heard of her losing her singing voice and thought it was awful for her.

I am so glad she is able to sing again. Wish I could see a taping of the show.

Going to help a friend pick up her house for her and her granddaughter's birthday party. Been putting if off due to the weather. Having a bonfire and cookout.

I resemable that song. Only half a c old and already falling apart. LOL.
