Although I love "In the Mood" I would say that "Moonlight Serenade" is not only my favorite but possibly the best piece of instrumental music ever, in my not so humble opinion.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-12327595582761403522012-07-05T18:14:03.263-05:002012-07-05T18:14:03.263-05:00Mine is up there to!Mine is up there to!Carmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330751936270389251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-23799869575531455432012-07-05T18:04:33.409-05:002012-07-05T18:04:33.409-05:00Richard (Dick) Zelek.

Sadly, he died in an auto accident more than 50 years ago. You can still find his name online, however, as being one of the teachers of several professional musicins still alive today.lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-11747974894578969522012-07-05T13:35:17.773-05:002012-07-05T13:35:17.773-05:00My Dad also loved Glen.
