Patrick Park is an avid fan of "The Sound of Music." You might say he’s obsessed with it.

"Really, I’ve seen it like 75 times," the concert pianist/industrialist said.

"I know every single word and song by heart. I’ve always wanted to live in the Von Trapp house."

Well, if he can’t live there, at least he’ll be close enough to visit.

Park has received unofficial word from President Donald Trump — well, as unofficial as a handwritten note saying "on to your next chapter, Ambassador!" can be — that he is the president’s choice to be U.S. ambassador to Austria.

The president said he thought it would be a good match for Park because it is steeped in musical culture.

Park is thrilled.

"My uncle Col. Samuel Radow was one of the most decorated officers in the U.S. Army, earning medals in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Every major medal. Five Silver Star clusters, three Purple Hearts, six bronze stars, the French Legion of Honor. "

Jeepers, that’s a lot of bling even by Palm Beach’s showy standards.

"My father was in the Air Force and my stepfather was a Navy man," he continued. "They served our country and their president. I would be thrilled to serve my country and President Trump if I have the chance. I have known this man almost 20 years. Seeing the great things he has done makes me want to be part of his team. I’m excited beyond words."

Park said he’s already started boning up in order to be ready if and when the call comes.

"I had a chance to talk to the Swiss and Hungarian ambassadors at the Red Cross Ball and at the diplomats’ dinner the night before," he said. "They want me to visit them in Washington, and the Austrian ambassador in Washington said he wants us to go for lunch. See? I’m already working!"

First thing on his unofficial to-do list?

"I’m flying to Vienna to check out the embassy, and then I’m going to Salzburg to see if the Von Trapp house is for rent," he said, laughing. "And then I’m going to learn to like schnitzel and sachertorte."
