Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Grateful for The Sound of Music because it's one of the few tapes (yes, I'm that old) that I had with me at college. TV reception was horrible, so it was nice to be able to pop something familiar into the VCR as background.

P

How did you feel about target using music from the movie for a commercial...to be honest I can still hear the commercial

Funny that you mention the dog the dog is named after the Astors they used to own so much property in Manhattan and it’s a playoff their name I didn’t know that I just read a book about them and they had that in there as one of the fun facts about them
Because I read a book about the Vanderbilt and then I read a book about the Astros both very interesting since they were both started about the same time one was old money and one was new money but it was a very interesting and the dog from the thin man is a playoff the name Astors
But I do enjoy those movies they are really funny

Various bits of info: I lived across the Hudson River from the Vanderbilt Mansion many years ago and saw The Empire Strikes Back at the movie theater in Hyde Park.
Also, didn’t John Astor die on the Titanic?
