"bob wald" wrote in message ... im talking about the ship sinking...there was no love story....thats made up.like the band playing as it went down. Actually, the band playing is undetermined according to urban legend sites. They believe that because none of the band members survived the sinking that they actually did play "Nearer My God to Thee" as the last song while the ship was sinking to calm and comfort the passengers. |

For Ada (Balls) Perine, who lived there from 1953 to her death in 1967, the song was simply too painful. "Every time that particular hymn was played, she cried," said Edward Heimiller, curator of the library and museum on the Maryland Masonic Grand Lodge campus. After many occasions witnessing Ada break down, the chaplain asked her why the song bothered her so. She told him — and he ordered it never to be played again. One hundred years ago this weekend, "Nearer My God to Thee" was the last song Ada heard from the band that was playing on the deck of the RMS Titanic after she boarded a lifeboat and was lowered to the waters below. |
