"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~

Play Misty for Me
Today is the 84th birthday of Erroll Garner (1921-1977), the "Debussy of Jazz".
The background picture of L'Envoi Music Selection was taken on a rainy misty mornng in August 2004 at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park, MT.
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.
ha! this's my jazz teacher's favourite song, i've heard it for thousand times, coz he used to play this for me during the lesson..
