Christopher Newton said...: What an amazing, moving, simple, ineffably beautiful, heartbreaking song. I can't believe Dion had it in him. But there it is. Thank you, for digging it up. It brought tears to my eyes on this sad memory day today.; 7:15 PM
Hector Diego said...: It's always good to hear from you Chris. Jay and I are honored to have such a cultured individual as yourself visit our blog.; 7:49 PM
Christopher Newton said...: Hector, you're cool too. I just wrote a post on The Pondering Pig telling my readers, whomever they may be, to come rushing over to listen to Dion (NOT Celine Dion by the way)sing this again. I wept as I listened, Hector. Is it because I was there? Experienced those days? I don't know, but I thank you again for the gift.; 8:06 PM
Leonard Sadorf said...: Like Chris, this song got me pretty teary. I was but 11 years old, but I watched with my father Bobby's speech at the Ambassador. Then I watched everything that followed into the next day. When will we ever learn?; 10:31 AM
