Johnny Mathis - The Morning Side Of The Mountain.

I too have loved Johnny Mathis my entire life - never fortunate enough to meet him, but saw him in concert many times - such a lovely tribute, and such a fairy tale life!!

What a delightful video! This is such a pretty song and, having met Jill at the 40+3 get together in Las Vegas, I know just how beautiful she is and,it goes without saying, how handsome Uncle John is! Thank you for sharing these lovely photographs with us, Maria.

It was always nice to hear of Jill's successes through the years. I know how she feels. I'd love a song too if Johnny sang the name "Steve" ... makes it all the more special ... Maria Niemela has her special song "Maria". :-) Nice photos. Thanks Maria.

"And every Jack must have a Jill,

On the twilight side of the hill."

And what a lovely Jill she is,

A shining star within show biz.

Her beauty's matched with a lovely voice,

Whenever she sings, you must rejoice.

It's a lovely song, with a lovely pairing,

You must be proud. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful doughter you have Maria! And she can sing! I've seen and heard her on YouTube. How lucky she is to have John as her friend and 'uncle'. Berit.

What a wonderful way to celebrate Jill's birthday - celebrating her musical career and friendship with Johnny. Jill has a beautiful voice so happy that John was a musical influence in her career choice. Nice to see all those beautiful costumes - some of them I've seen in person. Wishing Jill a wonderful birthday ... and hoping she continues to have many, many more.

Great video tribute to Jill. Best wishes to you, Jill, for a wonderful year ahead. What a winning smile and spirit.! And the song is just perfect for the occasion- and for Jill and Johnny's long time family friendship. Thanks for sharing- lovely. (you look terrific in those costumes, Jill!)
