the magnificent obsession..

Ive always had a great love of music.. from being a child, its more an obsession really..
we had a piano at home i started playing by ear age 2.. so it started there really....
who ever invented music should be given a sainthood in my opinion..

then dad arranged lessons, it was the most wonderful thing to be able to pick up a sheet of paper full of what looked at first like dots.. musical notes, then to be able to turn the dots into music .. notes that went together forming a song..

after that i couldn't walk into a room without looking around for a piano..back in those days a lot of people still had pianos in the living room..


dad bought me sound of music sheet music and to be able to play edelweiss, all my faves was the best thing ever. love that film.
the soundtrack has got to be the best ive ever heard.. rogers and hammerstien deserved the oscar, i don,t even know if they got one but it was well deserved if so..

palladium put on the film and they had girls dressed in traditional austrian costume giving out programmes.., me and my cousin wanted to be too but were too young.. think girls had to be above 13. they didnt look very old..remember they looked lovely in white blouses, dresses. pigtails.
i actually liked christopher plummer...good singer he is too..surprised me..julie andrews.. she was just brilliant.. came across some old music books today..

but being the person i am now some times i can,t listen..no one would understand unless they were me..i hear a story now.. i can,t listen to music for the love of it anymore..some songs actually make me feel ill...
a sensitive...? whatever, this is me now..
