Just came here to say I was born in ‘78 & was named after the Clint Eastwood movie Play Misty for Me. For whatever reason I’m just now looking up the song to see who wrote it! What a special man that wrote this beautiful song. ❤I’ve seen the movie numerous times but watching this video made my soul happy! Ty for posting

One of the many things that’s musically captivating about instrumental jazz is how the original composers and others convey the subject of the song instrumentally
Way back when I was a kid in the 1960's, our family was in the boarding area at the Bismarck, North Dakota airport. My Dad, who had been a jazz musician when he was young and was still a jazz lover, recognized Erroll Garner in the waiting area with us. He struck up a conversation with Garner, he and Garner talking jazz for probably 30 minutes. Erroll Garner was gracious and very humble for such a greatly talented man. I've never forgotten that day.
