- When Edelweiss was played at a Whitehouse reception. Everyone except the Austrians rose and stood for what they thought was the Austrian national anthem, it isn't BTW.
- Theodore Bikel was leaving the theatre when he found a fan and fellow immigrant waiting at the stage door for his autograph: "I love that 'Edelweiss'," said the theatregoer. "Of course, I have known it a long time, but only in German." It was never in German, it is an original piece.
