Hey Theo

You're probably in mid-flight as I'm writing this. Don't forget your clogs!

There is no competition between Dasha and me with respect to age. I am definitely older. However, it sometimes surprises me how young buggers get the facts wrong.

Peter, Paul & Mary had nothing to do with the "Leaving On A Jet-Plane" song.
As far as I remember, it was written by John Denver around 1967 and a cover version was released in the same year by some group called The Mitchell Trio.
(Whoever they were. I forget, exactly.)

The ironic thing was that John (Country Road...Take Me Home) Denver died in a plane crash years later. He was the pilot. It wasn't a "jet". Maybe that made a difference.

Hope you have a great time when you get here...

:D

Hi Phil,

Leaving on a jetplane was written by John Denver and on his first album
Rhymes and Reasons on RCA in 1969.

Peter, Paul & Mary had their #1 hit with it end of 1969 in the USA!

The song was covered by lots of interprets, including Janis Joplin, Joan Baez and every boy scout camp with guitar and fire place :wink:

best regards also to Reni

PS: Is you dog still eating mobile phones?

[Jimbo]

definately PPM had the hit

[froggy]

lyrics like " Dont know when i'm coming back again" and indonesia airlines go hand in hand

[Sanurian]

Yes, PPM had a hit with that song in 1969, but they didn't write it.

My curiosity aroused, I tracked down The (Chad) Mitchell Trio. John Denver was a member between 1965-68. The group reformed in 1987 with Denver.

And hi, Thorsten

...The song was covered by lots of interprets, including Janis Joplin, Joan Baez and every boy scout camp with guitar and fire place...

It's still famous with Balinese players, even without fire-places.

As for "Hell-Boy", (aka Arno)...it's not so much that he's given up eating hand-phones, we just don't leave them lying around any more (or remote controls, digital cameras, calculators, etc). No visitors' shoes/sandals are safe for more than five minutes. We put them on top of a book-case (the foot-wear, not the visitors).

:D
