  3. I've always loved this song. I heard it many years ago on CBC radio. It always makes me cry for some reason.

  4. Beautiful! Thank for posting it. I had not heard of this artist before. Love the goose house. Those are going to be some very lucky geese.

  5. Yes, it's Sharon, I love Moon River too. I am also crazy about "Celia" by S & G - it's great "moving" music! LOL

  8. Aww John I'm glad you liked that song. I changed Izzy one for another as I got a bit tired of it everytime I went on my own blog! Eventually I'll put it back on...once I get it out of my head for a little bit ;) I hope you and Chris and the gang have a wonderful weekend....take care...Maura :)

  11. I looked this man up and he died at an early age (38). So sad.

  12. My friend Elizabeth and I are going to the Pet Blessing this morning on the Park Strip in downtown Anchorage. She will bring her surviving Sheltie, Petey, and I will bring little Toby to represent my 4-Pack.

    I will include thoughts of Maddie during the Blessing, also Max and Digby and all of our other sweet friends who have crossed. xoxoxo

  13. Hi John!! I'm just getting caught up on your blog--Our internet connection has been down here at home. But this song was one I heard on someone's blog as well just after our senior boy Cowboy passed 3 months ago. I ended up buying the recording from Amazon because I was so touched by it. I can't tell you how many times I listened to it...But I thought of sending it to you as well and then thought that it may seem a bit "dumb" to do that, so I didn't--I'm glad you found it.

  14. By the way, in trying to find the music, I found out that the last scenes of this video are actually from "IZ's" funeral--Those are his ashes they are putting into the ocean...

  15. I have this on my playlist. Love him, especially his version of this song.
    Sharon, you can go to playlist.com and look up the song, and save it on a playlist. It's free.
