It seems an appropriate occasion to share this, the first recording of the Rodgers and Hart classic, "Blue Moon."

Nadia Sings no. 3
Link to last week’s song
Today we have a musical theater classic: “My Favorite Things” from the musical The Sound of Music (music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II)
Initially, I was going to do a completely different song this week, but that… didn’t pan out, and I was considering not posting a song this week at all, because I couldn’t think of what to sing, and because I wasn’t sure if I’d have time to record once I realized the first song wasn’t going to work.
(Life is challenging and hectic when your parents are in the hospital [dad got life-saving gallbladder surgery, mom is there to keep him company], and it’s literally your birthday…)
Anyway…
This song comes to you courtesy of the beautiful, and ever-inspirational @valmare, actually.
She mentioned Rodgers & Hammerstein in her lovely and wonderful reblog of last week’s song, and that unconsciously got tucked away in my head.
Then, today, while I was sitting at the dining table, before I was about to write a post saying that Nadia Sings was going to take a week off, I realized I was humming something.
And that something was this song.
So once again using the dining room as my recording studio, I recorded and mastered this song in BandLab (again, not an advertisement, I just love that app—it’s like ProTools on your phone) in about three hours, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.
Again, while I put a little reverb effect on the backing track I used, as well as on my vocal track, this is otherwise as unadulterated a track as the one I posted last week, just my voice, with no pitch correction, recorded into my iPhone.
Note: it is part of my training to have a British/transatlantic accent when I sing particular things, this musical included.
I hope you enjoy!!
(Headphones recommended to hear the reverb)

Egad, Elton John Joins EGOT Club
- “Here’s to the joy of music and the magic it brings to our lives,” pianist says
That’s Sir Elton John, EGOT, thank you very much.
After winning an Emmy award for his “Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium” streaming special, the self-proclaimed bitch - who’s stone-cold sober as a matter of fact - became just the 19th person to win at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award.
“Thank you to all the fans, friends and collaborators who have supported me throughout the years,” John, who missed the Jan. 15 ceremony as he recovers from knee surgery, said in a statement.
“Honored to have joined the hallowed ranks of EGOT winners; here’s to the joy of music and the magic it brings to our lives.”
Previous EGOT club members include Richard Rodgers, Marvin Hamlisch, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, John Legend and Jennifer Hudson.
