Song of the Day: My Favorite Things

The Sound of Music was being shown in my house this weekend.

And while I did not happen to be in the room for "My Favorite Things" the movie reminds me of a tremendous version by John Coltrane. Interesting guy John Coltrane. He played with some of the real heavies of the jazz industry before leading his own groups. Also battled drug and alcohol problems, dabbled in multiple religions and died at the young age of 40.

Good tune, anyway. Plays well in the background and also does well if you put it on, tilt your head back and let it carry you away. Please enjoy all the way through and try not to think too much about Julie Andrews in a nun's habit or Austrian kids dressed up in curtains.
