Good morning Connie Sweetie ((HUGS)).

I can’t remember where I was when I first saw We Were Soldiers, probably home and on tv. But like you I cried most of it, my heart ached as I watched the battle scenes...it can still grip me every time I watch it. To me it is one of the war stories that grips the heart and doesn’t let go.

Oh Yes...that is an amazing bit of cinematography! And the background music is Stephen Foster’s ‘Old Folks at Home” transposed to the minor and slowed down. Very Effective!

My little piano students really like Foster’s music. I did some simple arrangements of his songs, and then encourage them to add grace notes and a little syncopation to “Jazz them up Since “Old Folks At Home” (Swanee River) is our State Song, the kids all want to be the ONE who plays it in the Recital!
