Hope to see you in Virginia at the end of February. God bless you all and know that my thoughts and my love is with you. I was thrilled to receive your letters and a picture of your ship.

Dorice from Providence,riJust heard this song on B101. Meanwhile, The Jacks NYB, where the "Gloria" magic originated, became a Blues bar, embracing the team and admitting some fans even if they weren't members. In the playoffs, they made a remarkable run, winning the first Stanley Cup in franchise history when they defeated the Boston Bruins. The team, which missed the playoffs the previous year and were off to a sluggish start, upped their game and finished third in their conference. The players convinced the team to start playing the song at home games after wins, and the crowds loved it. The club played "Gloria," and the place went nuts. That night, the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL won an exciting playoff game against the Chicago Bears. The players went to a private club run by the mummers brigade The Jacks NYB, which had adopted "Gloria" as their theme song. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League started playing this at home games in 2019 after six of their players experienced the power of the song on January 6 when they were in Philadelphia for a game against the Flyers.
