By listening to Bing Crosby, it has helped me out many times when I was feeling down. When my grandfather had heart failure in 1991, I listened to Der Bingle's version of "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams", and I felt better. Whenever a relationship with a girl is not successful, I can listen to Bing's "I've Never Been In Love Before", and it seems that Bing is singing about how I feel. Finally, this past April, when my grandfather had a minor heart attack, I played his favorite Bing recording..."Pennies From Heaven" as I prayed for my grandfather's recovery.

Just as my grandfather has helped me through the various obstacles a young adult faces, so has listening to Mr. Crosby. Troubles with graduating from college, finding a suitable job, and the hardest...finding that special someone is all put to ease whenever I hear a Bing Crosby recording and/or my grandfather's words of encouragement. Both seem to be saying in their own little ways that it is important to wrap your troubles in dreams and dream your troubles away.
