Going His Way
October 14 in history:
1888 Katherine Mansfield, author, is born.
1977 Bing Crosby, singer/actor (Going My Way), dies.
“He was given up to his dream. What did garden-parties and baskets and lace frocks matter to him? He was far from all those things. He was wonderful, beautiful…. Happy … happy … All is well, said that sleeping face. This is just as it should be. I am content.”
– Katherine Mansfield, “The Garden Party“
In honor of Mansfield, Crosby, and other authors and singers, this site’s music is now a midi rendition of Rick Nelson’s classic.
