Not one to spend much time blogging about or even concerning myself with celebrities I bumped into a recent headline of interest.

Mennonites have traditionally given those dirty romance novels the cold shoulder; however, there have been a few pristine little romance productions that have somehow managed to invade Mennonite circles. One of the prime invaders has been the "Sound of Music" a romantic musical starring Julie Andrews.

With her beautiful voice Julie Andrews became the face of the musical set in wartime Germany. Julie Andrews has rarely sung for many years since her soprano voice was impaired by surgery. She once described her impaired voice as "a wonderful, deep, bass voice of about five notes and that's about it".

Now at 74 years old, Julie Andrews plans to reappear on the UK stage for the first time in 30 years.
