Hi Everyone,

Jim Reeves had a lovely relaxing style of singing didn't he?
Such a shame that he died so young. He left some lovely recordings behind. I like "guilty" and "I love you because"such great love songs.

Hi Hilary,
I really liked Jim Reeves voice too, it was so rich and smooth. I have an old boxed set of his albums I've not listened to in years however, but certainly a lovely voice.

Just wondered if you will be able to make it to Friends Reunited in October? It would be nice to meet you.

Hi Marian,

We hope to be at the friends reunited in October!
I'm sure it will be a good night! No doubt Lena and Harry will be dancing to YMCA on the night!

Can't remember any dancing last year, but there's always a first time for everything!! You never know with Lena and Harry

Pleased to hear you'll be able to come.

As Mariana said on another thread, it is the most wonderful afternoon/evening and I guarantee you'll enjoy everything about it.

Would be great to see you at the fans re-united Hilary. We're up for anything.
We could even teach you the Veleta, or the St Bernards Waltz.
After these, everyone, even Paul would beg for YMCA.

Hi Everyone,

Just polishing up my dancing shoes ready for October!

We shall all be dancing and singing along to "Flying the flag" if we can still remember all the words of course!

Hilary, I think we might all end up banished and banned from The Beck if we do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting back to Jim Reeves again I liked his Christmas album, we always used to play this when I was a kid, songs like C H R I S T M A S and AN OLD CHRISTMAS CARD I recall. WELCOME TO MY WORLD and DISTANT DRUMS were favourites as well.

I think SILVER BELLS is a big Jim Reeves Christmas favourite john

John, Robert, NOW YOU'RE TALKING!

I love the Jim Reeves Christmas album!
Oh so many happy memories of Xmas as a kid listening to that album.
'Silver Bells' is gorgeous, as a child I loved Senor Santa Claus!

We have got very little of Jim Reeves music, some of his songs we like, but we have to say we have always found his voice rather mournful, even though he was very popular in the Fifties and Sixties.
