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.
