John Denver sang "Little Drummer Boy" at the Vatican, I think it was not long before he died, anybody know? Lala?


His
life touched millions of people all over the world. He taught us many things about life: from joy to sorrow, from love to anger. He physically left us in 1997, but his spirit lives on in all of us who remember! ~Pat and Graham.


December 1, 1943 – October 12, 1997

What a sweet capture of your pup, Pat, and such a lovely dedication to John Denver. What a wonderful singer he was.

"The Little Drummer Boy" is my husband's favorite Christmas song. He's going to love this version --- when he wakes up! (It's 1:00 AM in California... :-) #8245332

Graham Robards December 25, 2009

Oh Mary, thank you so much for dropping by! I edited this song, I downloaded it off youtube and took out bits and pieces that made it longer! I hope your husband likes this version. Thank you for letting me know the time!

Yes, I was thrilled with Cindy, thank you, she is such a sweet precious dog. Graham took the shot with my camera whilst she looked at me pleadingly "can I go and play with the other dogs" LOL.
~Best Wishes. ~Pat

Lovely capture of Cindy and great dedication to John Denver .. I saw him in concert years ago and he was terrific .. even when his backing group took a break he stayed on with his guitar and related little stories .. one of the best concerts I've ever been to! #8247933
