For my small part I wore my JR t-shirt and cap to the office for all to see, and to make sure they all knew I'm his greatest fan! In the evening I did the same thing at our local pub, and whilst commandeering the jukebox to play JR (and there was plenty to choose from!) I drank to his undying memory with the finest English ale!
Of course I played 'The Great Jim Reeves' at home too. And why haven't I posted about it before? Well there's a lot of it, and I wanted to be sure I had had the time to fully appreciate it.
There are too many good things to mention them all, but for me especially -
Am I Losing You? - a really lovely treatment and I so agree that this is the best version.
My Cathedral - a truly wonderful overdub.
Scarlet Ribbons - such a special job on this one
I'd Like To Be - always one of my favourites but now a really sparkling update.
Making Believe - a really lovely arrangement.
Mona Lisa - superb; simply stunning and a real highlight.
The Merry Christmas Polka - the new overdub brings a really lively Christmas mood to it.
Mary's Boy Child - simply a delight.
Of course as a real fan I'm always hungry for more, but I'm so grateful I found this site years ago for all I have acquired by it.
Many, many thanks.
