Before I Forget

Just a little less than a month ago was the 95th anniversary of the maiden voyage, iceberg collision, and sinking of the RMS Titanic. I don't recall anyone mentioning anything about it but I might as well now before I forget.
Now I have been thinking about 1997 Titanic movie as well as the 1953 version and the playing of "Nearer my God to Thee", the song believed to have been played by Wallace Hartley and his Titanic band while the ship was almost sunk. Quite powerful indeed, and his famous quote used in the 1997 movie:
"Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you
tonight."
Many lives were lost and their stories of love, anger, hate,
business, richness, and humbleness; all portrayed in books, songs, movies.
So here is that clip from the 1997 movie of the Titanic band playing "Nearer My God to Thee."



Later...
