In the American Heritage Magazine for May 2003 on page 16 is a really nice article on Walter Lord. It was a surprise to me to find out that Walter was a huge music fan. The article went on to mention that Walter wrote the lyrics for 'The Third Man' theme for the Orson Welles movie. And this was a song that no one really knew had a lyric.
Here is a sampling from the article: "I wouldn't want any funeral. But, I wouldn't mind a memorial service featuring the kind of music I've enjoyed so much--just an hour of pretty music in the 1930s-50s fashion....The perfect place would be a small room in the Princeton Club, around noon, perhaps in the period around my birthday, October 8."
And October 8 last year his friends gave Walter his final goodbye and last wish........An hour of pretty music in the Princeton Club.
