"When earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it --lie down for an aeon or two. Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew..." ~Rudyard Kipling~

I love those notes like the twinkling stars.
So beautiful and a wonderful accompaniment while looking around your blog.
Thank you ladies for your wonderful comments on Erroll Garner and his "Misty."
Did you know I borrowed my post's subject line from a 1971 Clint Eastwood psycho-thriller, "Play Misty for Me?" Eastwood played a disc jockey in the film. An obsessive female groupie/fan woman stalked him and his girlfriend, threatening and committing bodily harms to both.
And of course, Garner's "Misty" was featured in the movie.
