What a wonderful tribute - and a great rendition of "The Nittany Lion." What made it even more special to this PSU alum was the unsung words that go with this melody starting with "Hail to the Lion, loyal and true." JoePa in a nutshell....
I'm a grown man, Penn State alumni, I made it all the way through the ceremony. This is where I cried. One last Hail to the Lion. For the ultimate Lion. I love you Joe.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO THANK YOU KURT!!!!! Your a very special choosen one to do this for our Joe Pa.........I have videos of the vigils and from the statue...@ meankitty PSU youtube
Thank you for posting this. I too managed to make it through the entire memorial service with only shedding a few tears here and there, until this came on and then the water works started. It was a fitting tribute to end the memorial service. You can tell towards the end he is starting to tear up some, but GREAT job Kurt hanging in there and you did a fantastic job.
Beautiful job Kurt! I keep playing it again and again and tearing up each time. I don't know how you did it. That was the perfect way to say good bye. Thanks to your mom for posting it. She should be very proud!

How many times can I listen to this? It is the end of a spectacular era. This solo put the cap on it. On to the next, once the tears stop.

I had managed to get through the memorial and hold my tears back, until this. This was what got me most.
