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.

Donovan was a favourite of my Mom's along with The Byrds. Her favourite of Donovan's was Jennifer Juniper ... what a trip down memory lane! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMe and your mom: kindred spirits :)
DeleteI had to look up how old he was. These are some great oldies, and I hope he's celebrating in style.
ReplyDeleteI love when the musicians from my childhood/youth are still actively engaging :)
Delete...happy birthday, mate.
ReplyDeleteand many more :)
DeleteThe minute I saw the title of your blog post, I started singing They call me Mellow Yellow 😺
ReplyDeleteThat one never gets old :)
DeleteI asked Alexa how old Donovan was. 77. Five years older than I am. I always liked him back when. Universal Soldier was a favorite and Jennifer Juniper. I was a pacifist...still an old Minnesota hippy at heart. I was just on YouTube and see him as a sweet older man with long white hair. Still has that something. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's still singing, and it brings me pleasure to see these musicians age well :) Gives me hope :)
DeleteI always liked him! Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteFun days :)
DeleteThanks for these. I always liked Donovan's music!
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember these songs fondly :)
DeleteHis songs were wonderful! Hapy Birthday, Donovan
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see him still performing :)
DeleteHappy birthday Donovan! Love Yellow Mellow, such a classic 😊. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorites :)
DeleteHe sure sang happy songs
ReplyDeleteSome of them anyway...
DeleteI've heard two of the songs. I am not really familiar with him, though. I DO wish him a happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteIt was the mid to late 60s. Maybe you were too young...
DeleteAt least the last I certainly know (who does not) - Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI listened to a lot of his music back in the day.
