I am a sentiment slob. Just now, on another thread I posted a Glenn Miller Utube song. I have always loved his sound, his orchestra. In high school I was a bad boy. I couldn't ever allow myself to open up and really be me. I always had to "play the role". In my own time, I loved music. I loved big bands. I loved the Glenn Miller sound. When I was 17 or 18 I went to the theater to watch the "Glenn Miller Story". When it got to the part about his death and the Christmas scene with June Allison as his wife, tears flooded my eyes. The other night, alone in my office, I found the movie on the Utube site and played it again. I figured all these years, all that has happened in my life, this would be different. I watched the movie, when it got to that part again. I cried. I didn't make the sobbing sounds we see in TV shows, but my eyes once again spilled tears and I felt the loss. If you have never heard the Glenn Miller band you won't understand this thread. I don't know why I bothered to tell you all this but maybe because I am here so much and so many of my old friends have passed, I consider you my friends and just wanted to share it.
