The Sound of Music is shown on ABC every year around Christmas. Just like clock work.

In fact, I recorded it on the DVR, and our 3 year old twins loved it so much, we have been watching it nearly every night since in 15 minute intervals.

As an interesting aside, The Sound of Music won academy awards in 1965 for Best Picture and Best Director.

I kid you not, I've never seen Miracle on whatever street that was, I've never seen Casablanca, even newer "must-see" stuff like the Exorcist, I've never seen any of them. I hear movies all the time when the kids are watching them in the other room, but I rarely sit down and watch. My better half made me watch Happy Feet several weeks ago, and I was so antsy and edgy that I got up 1/2 way through and ran some laundry.

If it makes you feel any better, I've never seen Miracle on whatever street either (with Jimmy Stewart), and I'm almost embarrassed to admit it.

I tell myself I'm going to watch it every year when it comes on TV around Christmas time, but it's never worked out.

I haven't seen it completely and don't intend to. The definitive Christmas movie is A Christmas Story with Darren McGavin

I always liked Roberta's voice, sort of a smoky smoothness- and there's also Anita Baker. If you like Flack, you'll like her, too. She started about 15 years ago, bailed for a few years to raise her family, and just got back into the recording biz again. The passing years made her voice better, like a fine wine.

Would you believe it if I told you that Anita Baker is my favorite recording artist?

I have every cd she has ever released, including one she released when she was the lead singer of a group, although I can't remember the name right now.
