the whirlwind Today...

I stepped off the plane in New York City, and met up with the rest of the non-Trapps for a meal at Gordon Ramsey's MAZE restaurant in the London Hotel. We caught up on our lives and talk about our whirlwind media blitz for the Sound of Music Blu-Ray DVD and our personal Sound of Music memoirs book that will be out in 2011. At the table we have some laughs as we always do and with our tummys full after our yummy 5 course meal we head to our rooms to grab a couple of hours sleep. 4:30 am came pretty fast but we were all raring to go.


Here we are at the TODAY show with the lovely Miss Andrews. What fun it was to all be together again. Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry were so nice.  Even Matt Lauer came out to say hi after his interview with former President George Bush.

Then Kym and I headed over to MSNBC for our interview with Alex Witt.

In the Green Room before the interview, I'm wearing one of my art.wear creations. This handpainted image is of the gates in front of the Von Trapp villa. My spring collection of clothing will be coming out soon.
The interview we had with Alex will air this
Sunday November 14th in 2 parts at 7:40 am and 9:40 am.
Turns out Alex used to live in my old neighborhood and went to the same school as Kym Karath when she lived in Los Angeles. It was fun talking to her.

After tooling around New York City a bit with Heather and Debbie, and an interview on the Joy Behar Show (don't know when that will air) we had a wonderful Italian dinner with our friends Heidi and Heinrich before going our seperate ways. It was an exhausting whirlwind of a trip...Now I am home once again just chomping at the bit to make some art...I know I'm fortunate to be able to pack so many memories into a coast to coast high speed tornado of an adventure....I count my blessings every day....

and the music plays on...

I can't tell you how many times we have lined up in this order over the last 45 years....we just kinda fall into our places...that's kinda funny really...
 
So...the celebration is not over yet...we are flying to New York for an appearance on the "Today Show" November 10th...so catch us on that for more about The Sound of Music...the Blu Ray...and our upcoming book, which will be out next year. Thanks for all your questions...we hope to answer the things in this book that people have asked us over the years....

If you can't get enough of The Sound of Music Reunion...or you happened to miss Oprah  because of the date change, here below is the part with the 'kids'... sure makes you feel young when you're referred to as 'the kids". (Don't forget to pause my music box at the bottom of the page.)
And if you want to see more...just enter Oprah Sound of Music and its there on You Tube...
