A gentle cover of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic from "The Sound of Music". Performed by 75-year-old Skip Weathers in her first ever official recording and presentation.

As for the recording, Stacy's (who sings on several other tracks including other pieces from "The Sound of Music" to be uploaded soon) mom (ok, no Stacy's Mom jokes) was in town and wanted to record a song. She had never recorded before and has had limited experience singing in some smaller forums (local plays, etc). As she is 75, I really did not know how hard it would be to produce her. However, she performed quite naturally and followed any suggestions (obviously from me or Stacy) to the letter...resulting in a small masterpiece as presented above. This is her FIRST recording.
This is part of a larger project that I started working on last year. I love Rodgers and Hammerstein and found "The Sound of Music" to be highly accessible and tweak-able and am working on a full CD of that music. This is the second fully completed track.
