Hi Andrea :)) I love your post! The Little Drummer Boy was always a tear-jerking song for me, I don't know why...maybe it's because of the classic stop-animation tv show I watched...I actually have that show on my hard drive and watch it each year and still cry when he plays the drum!!! I love the Bowie/Crosby version so much! I remember when it came out, it was so neat! :) As for the modern version...not so much lol...but it's very interesting to hear a "rock" style version of it like that! Thanks so much for joining in and HAPPY HAPPY MERRY MERRY BUTT WIGGLING CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! xxxxx :)
a nice thought out post by you with the videos, I also love the drummer boy song but also the other and your beautiful picture this is so beautiful!
Happy Merry christmas!!!!

Wonderful post Andrea. The little drummer boy is one of my fave song, thanks for sharing the various versions, and I was especially happy to hear the Crosby/ Bowie one, really fantastic. Thanks. Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas. Hugs, Valerie
I love your choice and your art!
you know I kind of like the modern one too!
I can tell you thought this out. Very well done. I am old school and like the original best.
my favorite is Bing and David´s :)
Listen to the modern one I change my mind. That one is teh first , bing and David is second. I still listen to pop. :)
Merry Christmas

Andrea,
I remember watching 'The Little Drummer Boy' when I was a kid. I always felt so bad for Erin. His heart was filled with so much hate but in the end, the hatred melted when he played for the little baby Jesus. Bing & David's duet is always nice to hear. The modern rendition you shared is new-to-me but a great discovery. You ought to link up with the Monday's Music Moves Me (4M) dance party this week. Have a joyful and blessed Christmas Day, my dear. Your art is spot on for the occasion. You and I were thinking alike. ;)
Andrea, here’s my Monday’s Music Moves Me post where you can link up: https://curiousasacathy.com/2019/12/his-name-shall-be-called-jesus-music/

Andrea,
Don't worry about finding to the time to link up. I went ahead this morning and added this post to the 4M linky party, so relax! I gotcha covered. Have a very Merry Christmas, dearie! xx
The Little Drummer Boy only dates from 1941 but it has become quite the classic. I have to admit, the Classic version is my favorite, perhaps from hearing it on TV growing up in the 1950's. Enjoyed having you join our group!
Wow! I am impressed I must say! Personally, I cannot hear that version in a church, but to entertain... definitely. Thanks for entertaining!
