Of course, our hero Julie Andrews is always going to put a positive spin on it, as she does with everything in her life! I love her! Beauty and grace...yes that is perfect for this performance by Lady Gaga and beauty and grace herself came out at the end to give her a big hug!<br />Was the production of The Sound of Music well attended? I hope so, if they need a new building!

The sad part is I don't think she can sing anymore. I think there was a health issue with her vocal cords. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. The Ashland high school performed the Sound of Music this past weekend. They are building a new auditorium and this was the last musical presentation for the old...and I do mean old...building. Good timing since it's the 50th anniversary. yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-64213293683152780472015-02-24T16:41:43.559-05:002015-02-24T16:41:43.559-05:00I was blown away by the Gaga performance.

And I also wondered about "lyrist" but if you look it up, it says : 1) A person who plays the lyre 2) a lyric poet.<br />I think that Oscar Hammerstein qualifies for that second one!<br />We are concerned about possible snow tomorrow.

I wondered if it saddened her a bit to think she could no longer sing like she did.<br />There was no mention of the songwriters at all. Maybe they figured everyone knew because of the age of the music.<br />I thought the Selma tribute was very touching, too.

How can anybody mention one without the other?<br /><br />(The sign in your photo fascinates me. It calls Mr. Hammerstein a "lyrist" - do they mean he played the lyre? Or is it a misprint of "lyricist"?)<br /><br />Hope you are staying warm in your neck of the woods! :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.com
