I received the following email from a young lady who is trying to locate a song for her grandfather. It is not a Jim Reeves song, but was on an album that apparently also included a Reeves tune. Does anyone recognize the lyrics? See below. -- Julie
My grandpa is in his late 80's, and he has been talking about an album he had in the sixties (he thinks) there was one song on there that had the line "an American boy met an English girl from far across the sea, they laughed and loved and lived each day, their hearts were filled with glee". This isn't a Jim Reeves song, but there was a Jim Deeves song on the album, he believes it was "Distant Drums," but we're not sure. I've done lyric searches, and read every discography i could find, but nothing so far... My only hope is someone knows that song and can tell me what it is. Please help if you can!
Although he's in pretty good health I'm afraid I won't have him around for much longer. Someone stole the record from him in the early 70's and he's said many times how he'd love to hear that song just one more time. If there is anyway you can help me, or forward this to someone who can I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Brandon Johnson
