Dang it! I forgot another birthday. :( (Or is this April Fools?) :) What to do, what to do. Bake a cake or call the florist or read on and hope it’s an April Fool joke. :)

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!
Pfc. James L. Miller, USA, KIA Afghanistan 29MAR2010
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
God Of Our Fathers
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace! We who remain hold you in high honor. Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct; We who remain keep this place sacred. Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades; We who remain keep the watch. Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nations call; We who remain press the fight forward in your name. Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden; We who remain have taken up the torch. Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

This is ANOTHER “absolutely true I kid you not, no kidding, really true” story of mine!
Back in the day, I had a good friend named George(RIP) who was a big fan of my music. He wrote with three other gentlemen named Hugo, Luigi, and another George. These four older men collaborated on a Christmas Song and asked me to arrange and produce it for a video to be shown on Boston TV.
It was a lovely African-American style song, and I suggested we make it REGGAE. So I arranged it for drums and bass, organ, guitars and lots of cool backup vocals and percussion. We got a seriously super vocalist from Trinidad to do the lead, and it turned out beautiful. Then we took the audio to a studio in Boston, and with assistance from the Alma Lewis School of Afro-American Arts, made a wonderful Video that was shown on Boston Community Cable. We threw a big party to celebrate, and a good time was had by all.
George was always telling me that he and his three partners had written a song for ELVIS, and that it was really famous, yada yada yada. Of course, we songwriters always talk like that, as I had several songs that were LISTENED TO and ALMOST recorded by some real famous people like Bonnie Raitt, so I just smiled and made happy talk when the old guys talked like this.
My four friends have all passed away now.
Imagine how I felt when I happened to be looking at the sheet music of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ELVIS SONG, and there they were, all four of them, listed as the composers.
I CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moral: When “Old Guys” Tell Stories, They are probably TRUE!
