On last night’s SNL, guest host Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Kate McKinnon, belted out their rendition of My Favorite Things, by Rogers and Hammerstein. All I can say is it’s perfect for 2020.
Because this beloved song lends itself so perfectly to this s**t year, here’s another sly take on it.
And finally, here’s the incomparable Julie Andrews version.

Hammerstein was such a great poet! I was standing in the wings working a Julie Andrews’ concert when she talked about him and I felt a wetness in my eyes. And then she sang this as only she could and I reached for the handkerchief.

I recently watched the Sound of Music with my granddaughter and I can not get the music out of my mind. It’s hypnotic, weighty, profound, and charming. C

My mum played Maria in a big stage version, sang just as beautifully as Ms.Andrews, though I am a leetle bit biased. Loved seeing that one, skipped the parody 🤣

The parody lyrics were clever, but as you know, SOM is not one of my favourite films. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

I just loved this, Kim! The SNL skit was hilarious, and of course there is nothing better than the real song. Rogers and Hammerstein are the best. I treasure every musical and can sing all the words to the songs. Sigh!
