""Edelweiss" is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. It is named after the edelweiss, a white flower found high in the Alpine hills. The song is sung by Captain Georg Ludwig von Trapp as he rediscovers music and a love for his children. Later on in the show it is sung as a defiant statement of Austrian patriotism by the von Trapp family in the face of the pressure put upon Captain von Trapp to join the navy of Nazi Germany."
I know I have a recording where Gord sings Eidelweiss and white christmas as a part of either Emperor penguin or on the verge I cant remember which. Same show he also does a snippet of Wings 'Jet'. So it's possible.
Modjeska! thankyou. My computer's in the shop so I don't have my files with me. Great show, I strongly suggest that everyone gives it a download.
