°(LDD) Dreaming of You - Selena
Dear Casey,
I live in Australia, and I've never forgotten Selena. She was such a promising singer, and even today, I'm saddened & shocked over her untimely death. For those of you who don't know, the president of her fan club murdered Selena on March the 31st, 1995 & this week marks exactly 14 years since we lost this great lady. She was one of the most talented Latin singers who ever lived & and my heart goes out not just to her, but her family. Her last song was "Dreaming of You" which is always in my head. I hope there is a rebirth of Selena's music in the future. Casey, could you please play "Dreaming of You"? Selena: Rest in Peace. We miss you, and are very proud of you.
Sincerely,
Kenny
