Whoa - who hasn't recorded My little Drummer boys ?
John Denver's version is so graceful
Josh Groban
Justin Bieber
Johnny Cash
1970 Michael and the rest of the Jackson Five recorded
Bob Dylan
I like Faith Hill but couldn't embed it
Vienna Boys Choir is heavy but I like it. Neil Diamond - he has nailed it too.
What's your favourite version ?
Ps Try playing a few at once ...

Wordless Wednesday - Drumming

The idea that there are harps in Heaven is a common misconception. When we get to Heaven there will be DRUMS!!! ~Tony Vacca |
Drum-mer: "1. One that plays the drum or drumset. 2. He who constantly bangs on things and pretty much drives everybody nuts!".

Grateful Saturday- things I know
It's been a strange week.
Coming home from a weekend like no other and with my husband being home almost everyday ...all day. Technically unemployed now we have stopped taking on new business and no business premises to operate from.
Things I know - my Internet time has been and will continue to be severely curbed for a bit . Maybe that is a good thing because we have to get 'moving' on preparing our house for sale. I'm both grateful and sad that it is happening.
I'm grateful for being able to attend the Aus Blog Con and garteful for the community of amazing women to which I am proud to belong.
Things I know - I enjoyed myself immensely although I missed my family terribly and got all teary talking to my little lads on the phone who stayed with my mum & brother. DH was at the farm.I was very anxious about them the whole but I did enjoy a break from the constant "MUM".
I'm grateful that my oldest son still plays his drums in a band .... at his friend's house. It was lovely to see S & J drag out and play the old drums the other day when they watched ZingZilla's.They had a blast and it was funny to see them so excited.
Things I know - The Teen's friend's mum is worth her weight in GOLD to have the bandmates play (& eat) at her house.The neighbours are more than grateful too .We haven't had any more council visits for noise complaints from the 'neighbour' (who lives in the corner at the back fence mind you).
I'm grateful for my very first paid sponsored post ...reviewing ZingZilla's. Our income is very limited at the moment and every little bit helps while we still have a huge mortgage to pay until we sell our house.
I 'd love you to join in the conversation ...Does your child want to be in a band?
What instrument or song do they love the most?
Grateful posts are here today at Maxabella's gorgeous sister a twin mum extraordinaire @Then there were four.
I am also playing along with Shae @ Yay for home's - Things I know too because she was so 'engaging' and friendly to meet. Go say hi - she made her self well known and was a dancing queen.

Why "My little Drummer Boys ?"
In case you wanted to know...
I have seen a few people writing how they named their blog.
Mine is simple : why did I name my blog My Little Drummer boys. I honestly can't remember the name I used almost 3 years ago when I made my first post ..(and one more on another blog the next day - I had no idea) then when I started again I renamed it.
When the teen man was about 8-9 we bought a second hand set of drums from a general auction on the spur of the moment . He had always loved banging and bashing on boxes/tubs/pans all manner of things since a toddler.
Our teenage son,D, is adopted it is written in his "My story" –a little book for him written by adoption agency and his birth mother. His maternal (birth) grandfather was a musician but he didn’t make much money. His birth mother would have told then that. She was also fostered most of her life. D was surrendered for adoption at about 9-10 months and we didn’t adopt him till he was 13.5 months. A week after we met him we took him home for good.
I digress ...I was awake one night last week wondering if the teenage son in foster family played drums.I am just so curious now.
Then along came the babies. They have grown up hearing, then later as soon as they could sit up, watching their big brother play the drums, almost every day. I loved the peace LOL.
So with my little drummer boys who love playing the drums too , what else could I choose.
Something else you didn’t ask …Even more freaky is my Mother’s, non live in, partner is a drummer. B was actually her old boyfriend from her teens . B and his wife were my parents long time family friends. They were also my God parents.
My Dad and B’s wife, J, both battled serious illnesses (cancer and leukaemia) around the same time for a few years , then both passed away with 7 weeks of each other 3 years ago.
B (who shares the babies birthday 1st July) will be 62 next week .He is a drummer in a rock/country band, Mum is his ‘groupie’ and she goes to band practice with him. The band even have real gigs at RSL clubs.
The Teen man is a good drummer – he is playing in band with some friends from school for a school talent show in 2 weeks. A mother dropping her son off at Teen man's party said he was good ... and she said it was pleasure to listen to him play compared to her son's drumming LOL
S & J well I don’t mind them playing either in short doses.
It’s was D’s 15th birthday last Wednesday and the Tool man bought him a new (used as a DEMO) drum set for less than 1/3 price (so he told me ;) ) so the Brothers are thrilled they get the old drums set to share. The old drums are still in good enough condition though well bashed to last them a few years.
I don’t know how we can have so many drummers in one family.
The new closest neighbours have a double brick downstairs rumpus room and apparently the guy likes electric guitars and drums too … I hope they made it soundproof. They move in end of next month once construction is complete. We are also building a new shed come 'music studio' for the Teen man.

Can you hear the drums
A blast from the past -but it's what I first thought of when I saw the tag line on my new drum -" you can almost hear it" animation created after my request.
That is the Good news - I got this morning when I checked my email and da da .
Bash that drum Mr Teddy Bear
I emailed the site Seven Oaks Art to ask if they had any drum animations. The brilliant Dave Sutton - said he didn't but *gasp* he would see what he could do -
So if you need any animations go check the Seven Oaks Art site they have hundreds of awesome animations.
I was so happy ...I had a little trouble getting it to animate on my blog but Dave even helped point me in the right direction.
