Beautiful! Thanks very much, Mike. Brought tears to my eyes. I've watched it several times and it still has the same reaction. This is the ultimate 'teach your child to sing' song. In any case, it is what my maiden aunt used to teach me how to sing back in '64/5 (along with 'Frere Jacques'). So, this track means a lot to me, personally.

Now, if they were only to film that in Salzburg Hauptbahnhof...

The choreography must have taken a lot of work, especially when they couldn't have foreseen how busy the station might be. Just two rehearsals?? I find that very hard to believe. Notice how the PA system changes from something where you can't understand it (the standard railway announcement) to the SOM sound? They must have had their own PA system and loudspeakers to be able to get that good a sound.

The parts that touch me most are as follows:

1. The first girl to start dancing (by my guess I think this is the choreographer) - what guts!
2. When she is joined by a litle girl - even more guts! (Is she the choreographer's daughter?)
3. When they turn around and find equal partners to dance with - relationship and understanding
4. The full troupe scenes all dancing together - the 'Pull To Centre', the 'Mexico Wave' and the 'Curtain Call'

BTW, ironically,I accidentally found myself watching 'The Sound Of Music' here in Vienna on TV late the other night at my girlfriend's flat - she preferred to go to bed! The Austrians just don't seem to 'get' this musical. Sad. It is my favourite musical of all time and always brings tears to my eyes.

Thank you very much, Mike

In this day and age it is great to see such mutual support. An inspiration to us all!
