Thank you very much for the link, Joe.
From Wiki for those that aren’t aware....
“Moon River” is a song composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics written by Johnny Mercer. It received an Academy Award for Best Original Song for its first performance by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It also won Mancini the 1962 Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Mercer the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. Since its original performance, the song has been covered by many other artists.

It amazes me that an old rock and roller like me can love a mellow old song so much. I always have from the very first time I heard it.
When Pandro Berman, producer of the Astaire-Rogers musicals at RKO, hired the Gershwin brothers to do a musical, he told George to worry about the songs while he assigned the incidental music to Steiner and Bennett. Gershwin bridled at this, saying that if his name was going to appear on the credits, he wanted every note in the movie to be from his pen. Gershwin's offer to do the incidental material for free was music to producer Berman's ears. This was how "Walking the Dog" was written.
Great thread

Read: James 4:11-17
In 1859, during the turbulent years prior to America’s Civil War, Abraham Lincoln had the opportunity to speak to the Agricultural Society in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As he spoke, he shared with them the story of an ancient monarch’s search for a sentence that was “true and appropriate in all times and situations.” His wise men, faced with this heady challenge, gave him the sentence, “And this, too, shall pass away.”
This is certainly true of our present world—it is constantly in the process of deterioration. And it’s not happening just to the world; we also face the reality in our own lives that our days are numbered. James wrote, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).
Although our current life is temporary and will pass away, the God we worship and serve is eternal. He has shared that eternity with us through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. He promises us a life that will never pass away: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
When Christ returns, He will take us home to be with Him forever!
Sometimes that happens mountainlion ((((Hugs))))

Partly for the music, partly from the large number of impure thoughts from Fran Jefferies' dancing and partly from Peter Sellers trying to dance along.
