  7. "The Lonely Goatherd" is a popular #showTune from the 1959 #RodgersAndHammerstein musical #TheSoundOfMusic. The song is well known for its examples of #yodeling, a part of the traditional music of the #AustrianAlps, where the musical is set. (#MariaVonTrapp, however, found the yodeling in the motion picture version of The Sound of Music rendition to be lacking in authenticity.)

  12. Picture from last night, in my dressing room, as I was waiting to sing “You’ll never walk alone” from the musical Carousel by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II at the New Year's reception of the Darmstadt 98 sports club, also called “Die Lilien”.

    For some reason, that’s a football anthem!?! Gotta love them for picking a work by Jews! Go Lilien!

    1958, Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo, RCA Victor – LSO-1032
    Canada

    Appropriate today more than most, Hula Girl is overlooking me spinning one of my earlier charity shop finds for quality.

    The South Pacific #Soundtrack is in great condition -- probably a VG+ or better. Cover is in great shape, still in shrink, and the LP is also in great shape, VG+ or better.

    Also some great tunes!

The tune finished at #88 in #AFIs100Years100Songs survey of the top tunes in American cinema in 2004.
