Why "Divers and Sundry"?
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.

...Joe Cocker was a loss, RIP!
ReplyDeleteYes, cancer's a bitch :(
DeleteTimely message - I wonder if peace is possible, as the world all seems so extremely divisive as never before. Usually in a time leading up to Christmas the world use to seem softer, more ready to live the message of giving kindness & peace a chance ... I'll say no more.
ReplyDeleteAmen. I don't know what it would take, but I'm reminded of this quote: "There is no way to peace; peace is the way."
DeleteOh, I liked Joe Cocker.
ReplyDeleteI saw Joe Cocker many times. He put on a great show.
ReplyDeleteCool! I never saw him in concert.
DeleteI never saw him in concert, either
ReplyDeleteI was never much of a concert goer
DeleteWhat a wonderful tribute to a man taken far too soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to lose the musicians of our youth.
DeleteWe are Joe Cocker fans, and have quite a few of his CD's.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
This song seemed especially suited to the season.
DeleteI like Joe Cocker, and I'd forgotten he had passed. This is a nice remembrance.
ReplyDeletePeace on Earth! :)
DeleteHe was a singular entity, for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteThat voice :)
DeleteGreat one, I never knew that song.
ReplyDeleteWow - Joe Cocker was in Braunschweig!!! He gave a free concert after the Braunschweig Lions played (no idea if they won or lost, does it matter, no). He was... it was wonderful, thank you for the memory!
Cool!
DeleteJoe Cocker was wonderful I met him personally back in the 80s when we was at a rock festival here in Germany. He was staying at the same hotel as we were, and gave us free celebrity tickets to sit right at the front. I will always remember him!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful story :) It's nice to hear stories about the big stars being kind to folks :)
