Lest we forget . . . Princess Grace died 40 years ago today.
Oh wow. That's a royal death that was quite shocking at the time. And being an American, she was still one of us, in a sense ... plus Grace was yet young, and still so beautiful. I have memories of watching her funeral on TV. The beautiful Samuel Barber "Adagio for Strings." That was the first time I ever heard it and to this day I think of it as "Princess Grace's music."
