R.I.P.-Fred Milano

[Bruce Bernard Williams]

Just read where Fred Milano of The Belmonts passed away just three weeks after being diagnosed with lung cancer at age 72. Just the other day I viewed their video of "The Bell That Couldn't Jingle", a Burt Bacharach and Larry Kusic composition, courtesy of "blue" of this Forum. Christmas is always a difficult time for me but thanks to "blue'''s posting of this, it made my Christmas cheerier. I see these old guys harmonizing so beautifully and having so much fun that you just can't deny that Christmas is indeed "the most wonderful time of the year". My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and many fans.
