(I had been asked to present Morning Show Success Strategies and The Psychology Of Management). I completed my second seminar and returned to my hotel room, completely exhausted \u2014 where I witnessed an amazing performance by a huge flock of birds swooping over the city. (Details of that episode were in our <a href=\"http:\/\/danoday.com\/blog\/2010\/11\/rome-ufo-radio-conference\">last installment<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>After watching this breathtaking aerial display until the darkness swallowed up the birds, I collapsed onto my bed, turned on the TV, and found myself watching a music video: <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Nat King Cole<\/strong><\/span> and daughter <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Natalie Cole<\/strong><\/span> singing a (digitally engineered) duet on &#8220;When I Fall in Love,&#8221; with Natalie doing some of the lyrics in Italian. Although I knew such a video had been made, I had never seen it before.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it was due to the combination of my exhaustion, the just-concluded, near-mystical bird show, and the dramatic quiet of night over Rome. But for whatever reason, I found the video to be breathtakingly, achingly beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>This version doesn&#8217;t have the Italian lyrics. But perhaps you&#8217;ll enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"662\" height=\"531\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"salign\" value=\"lt\" \/><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" \/><param name=\"scale\" value=\"noscale\" \/><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"&amp;MM_ComponentVersion=1&amp;skinName=http:\/\/danoday.com\/Halo_Skin_3&amp;streamName=http:\/\/danoday.com\/videos\/WhenIFallInLove.flv&amp;autoPlay=false&amp;autoRewind=true\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/danoday.com\/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf\" \/><param name=\"name\" value=\"FLVPlayer\" \/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"&amp;MM_ComponentVersion=1&amp;skinName=http:\/\/danoday.com\/Halo_Skin_3&amp;streamName=http:\/\/danoday.com\/videos\/WhenIFallInLove.flv&amp;autoPlay=false&amp;autoRewind=true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"662\" height=\"531\" src=\"http:\/\/danoday.com\/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf\" name=\"FLVPlayer\" flashvars=\"&amp;MM_ComponentVersion=1&amp;skinName=http:\/\/danoday.com\/Halo_Skin_3&amp;streamName=http:\/\/danoday.com\/videos\/WhenIFallInLove.flv&amp;autoPlay=false&amp;autoRewind=true\" scale=\"noscale\" quality=\"high\" salign=\"lt\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November, 1996 When we last left our story, I was in Rome for a couple of days as guest speaker at the NAB\u2019s annual European Radio seminars.
