Lady Di dancing with John Travolta at the
White House, 1985.

When the last little star
Has left the sky
Shall we be together
With our arms around each other?"

daily fray may keep me away...
A-ha moments, Ha-ha moments, and quiet contemplations
Walking over sky, following a bird...

It's hard to believe she's been gone for 13 years, Mother Teresa too!
Fascinating shot. Seems to sum up an era that is well past.
@ Mags.I know. It all slides by so quickly. At least when you are old. :p When I was young a year seemed to take quite a bit of time. @ Richard.I was thinking as I looked at that photo that Nancy Reagan must have been furious at all the attention drawn away from her to Lady Diana. Just a guess, but I'd actually put money on it. @ Darko.:up: That's the last time he played that song. At the memorial in 2007 he played "Tiny Dancer" instead.
Really? Your blog goes back to 1985?:pI'll check out your Archive.

Nope, in Rome in 2005. he played it again. But I guess he hesitated because of what that song became after her death…
And it seems he changed lyrics a bit…
wow thanks for letting me know i wonder why he changed his mind perhaps he wanted to contine it in her memory?:up:
The second (Rome) is definitely "Norma Jean." A return to the original.
Both versions are heartfelt and very fitting!!Elton's one of the best :up:
I love that photo of Princess Diana and John Travolta. One of the great moments in the White House.:smile::heart:
I love John Travolta,, young old, heavy or slim….As for P/Dianna,unfortunate soul left way too young!A was with my late mom cleaning string beans in our Greek kitchen when I did hear about her death… a bitter /sweet memory for more than one reasons….. Thanks for sharing 🙂

I've been waiting for 6 pm. It's now 9:45 on the eastcoast…damn the time difference. I'll probably miss your report, but will retire knowing all is probably well 🙂
Hope everything went well, Edward.:heart:
He will :eyes: at that photo, for sure 😀
:lol:I hope so! and if that is very small here is another one (till he recovers :p ) so Eddie, how many slices of lemon do you see? :love:
@ Angeliki.Three. Two in the glass and one…not in the glass.:pSOORY to all about not getting back with you yesterday on the eye thing. All went well, except I don't think the left eye, which was the worse of the two, is going to be as sharp/clear as the right eye. But so far Dr. Smit seems to think things are going well. As of yesterday though had the follow-up but also trying to deal with a really bad chest cold. Too many doctors lately though, too much expense, I don't have the money to go to my Primary Care right now. So I'm nursing it as best I can, and if it gets any worse I'll go to the Deaconess Emergency.THANK YOU ALL FOR THE CARDS AND/OR THE GOOD WISHES. :flirt:
w00t lemon a "peach" were counted correct! :up:sorry you have a cold,I hope it goes away soon!as for the eye… trust your doc, it might need a little more time to see the final results!PSLinda is not feeling well too…. I did not speak to her since yesterday but I worry for her….
:lol:Peach would be more like in a redhead's glass. :pThanks for info about Linda. I'll try to send her a PM later today.
:)she will be happy to hear from you…I see a new post up,I did not visit yet,I just came back from Boston 🙂 (I am kinda pooped)I just saw in the "Opera Home" page that, today is the capital lock day but I wont use caps here… I am protecting your ears, you have enough to deal as it is!:o I left a joke in caps there however :p
You know I did a post once, I think it was called "THE ALL CAPS POST" or something like that. All I remember about it is that it had a photo of one of those "Daisy Cutter" bombs at the top. :pOn my way to Linda's.
