When we married we didn't have a lot of time to audition bands for the reception and it was Christmas so not so many options as well. We ended up hiring a band by referral without hearing them (first mistake)and then asked them if they could play Annies Song for our first dance and they said yes,but when we got to the reception they told us no they couldn't...no music for that!!! I've regretted that forever, but we still think Annies Song is our first dance song! :)Lovely for you to share with us.Wandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-71194665386475115312011-01-22T11:18:59.931-07:002011-01-22T11:18:59.931-07:00Thanks for the memories.

They used to play (and I would sign) Thank God I'm a country Boy for the seventh inning stretch at Oriole games -- don't know if they still do.theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621187880594813876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-1130012933286347912011-01-22T07:13:03.071-07:002011-01-22T07:13:03.071-07:00I have to say that brings back memories to me too ...I have to say that brings back memories to me too - I sang Annie's Song as a high school chorus solo, and went to see John Denver in concert in 1974? 1975? somewhere around then....

I recall my parents really getting into it and so therefore so did us kids. <br /><br />So tragic the way he passed away.<br /><br />I can totally see you rocking with John.

Talk about two pure talents together--woohoo! I love Julie Andrews' voice.
