Feed the Birds - Tuppence a Bag. by ladymagpie

Feed the Birds - Tuppence a Bag.

We are back to the local park and a connection to a famous song. I had stood where this lady and her pram was a few minutes before, and I was surrounded by birds of every description waiting to be fed. It was actually quite frightening so I was glad to get some distance.

The connection to the song, "Feed the Birds, Tuppence a bag", come from Mary Poppins and sung by Julie Andrews. I have however found another version which when I listened turned me to tears, as well as the audience in this clip. Please give it some time and listen right through if you can. I would love to hear your reaction to see if I'm just an emotional person.

It's André Rieu, Mirusia & The Johann Strauss Orchestra performing Feed the Birds live in Amsterdam

Nicely captured and I can understand why it would be a bit frightening to be surrounded by the flock. I plan to check out Youtube when I get home to the big computer!

We spent many happy hours listening/watching Andre Rieu recordings with Noel from Maastricht etc. We saw this too. AR is a wonderful musician and impresario. Lovely image.

Tina and I have just watched/listened to this again - so beautiful, such lovely memories for us. Andre Rieu has something very special.

Really enjoyed this version - quite beautiful. Then I had to watch the Julie Andrew's version - love it, too! Thanks for sharing!

That song, regardless of who has sung it, has always brought me to tears. Love all the birds flocking in this photo.
