Whenever asked what my favorite song is, I either say Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" or Percy Faith's "Theme From a Summer Place."

It's been those two songs since I was a teen back in he mid seventies.

We have very similar tastes...I haven't posted "Moonlight Serenade" yet simply because I have so many versions of it, I can't figure out which one to use.

Oh, my first horror movie. I miss you Rose Red

@libbymycat Well, I was going to comment here but never mind--you've just posted my thoughts about this wonderful song nearly word for word! :-)

I like playing this especially late winter early spring as a way of looking forward to warmer weather on the way. Just soothes the restless soul. Puts me in such a mood. What a classic!

I some how feel there would be no more war if we could all sit and listen to this song together. It soothes the soul.
