One Song That Still Causes...

You to stop what you are doing to listen because of the memory or emotion that it evokes. For me it is "Sentimental Journey," sung by Doris Day (with the Les Brown Orchestra). As I mentioned on another thread, upon my Dad's release from a WWII German POW camp at Stag Luft III -- he was liberated by General Patton -- he heard this song for the first time on a troop train during his return to the States. This day also happened to be his 21st birthday. My Dad is still alive and I thank God every day for his health. Each time I hear this song, it causes me to stop in my tracks and listen, picturing the skinny, golden haired former POW heading home to his mother, father & sister.

There are many but "My Funny Valentine" sung by Ella Fitzgerald who made me really hear that great standard for the "first" time.

Taps.

An instant reminder of the young men who have fallen and given everything there is to give. It never fails to make the hair stand up on the back of my neck and a stuggle to fight back a tear. There, but for the Grace of God, go I.

God Bless Them And The Loved Ones Left Behind.
