Maria Von Trapp’s story lives on
It was my 16th birthday on a very special date with a guy I had a huge crush on (Andy Andeck). We were at the Loma Theater was where all the big movies were shown in town and it would show for a year or more (Lawrence of Arabia, etc).
And don’t we know ALL the words to the music?
Heck, my wedding march was the one Maria had in the movie because it wasn’t ‘Here comes the Bride’. Well I guess that impressionable teen lives again in that today we got me a dirndl! (Steve already owns liederhosen). The women in Bavaria wear this native dress often, not as a costume but as everyday nice clothes, and men are in their deer skin pants just like any pair of shorts. It pains me to see Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer get old, but their story or rather Maria Von Trapp’s story lives on.

I tried to click on the picture (then checked photo’s) to see it better…..but it still looks too cute!! I know what you will be dressed as come the next Halloween Party…..:-) I think I hear Steve yodeling now….
I wouldn’t advertise that “Steve already owns liederhosen”
I was 16 as well (as you know!) and saw the movie 6 times in about 2 weeks; played a nun in a Denver theater production at Cheeseman Park; dated the guy who understudied “Rolf”; and sang “I Have Confidence” at the top of my lungs with a friend on our way home a year later from a concert at Red Rocks when “Rolf” and her date were stoned and we needed to get away! In Austria around that time I bought some lederhosen for ME, though I really did want the dirndl. I just couldn’t see myself wearing it!
mary do you still have the lederhosen??
I love it!! Did you go on the Sound of Music tour?
