Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: ENTERTAINMENT/CIRCUS/SHOW
Well….you won’t be able to get much sense out of my today. I am still floating on air after a week with my family and then last night, to round off a wonderful week, Jack sat down with me and we watched “The Sound Of Music” – complete and total bliss!!
So…although there are other songs that specifically contain the three words Jim has given us today, I have chosen one of the highlights from the gorgeous musical which fills your heart with song and inspires you with confidence and courage to face challenges of every shape and size.
This scene is when the sensational Maria and the seven Von Trapp children put on a puppet show for Captain Von Trapp and his guests. The entertainment they provide is in the form of yodelling….but this is so much more!
