Ruby Murray Official Site

August 2, 2008 On this day, during a trip to Whitehorse to visit my brother and friends, an ‘old’ school pal drove me up the Klondike Highway to Fox Lake, the site of the terrible accident that caused Jim McGarry’s death 51 years ago. Of course, the land looks much different now. The highway is pav...

Hi, Bernie.

Happy #80. Don't celebrate too much.

Best wishes for many more.

Hi, Bernie & John.

These last photos are excellent at showing how pretty and sweet Ruby was. Well, done.

I type this as I listen to 'The Meeting of the Waters'.

Keep 'em comin', Bernie.

Very nice new home page. Well done, Gerald.

Regards.
Ralph

Hi, Bernie and Gerald. As I said earlier, I support Gerald's appeal about "How Can You Buy Killarney?". I also support his appeal on "Johnny Gray". I had pencilled in this song as my 7th answer, but couldn't be sure. Now that Gerald has confirmed my tentative choice, I have to support his appeal. C'...

Hi, Bernie (and everyone). I apologize for not getting my answers in to you. I spent the Easter weekend in Ottawa, and now I'm getting ready to go to Vancouver. I copied your '20 Questions' and printed them so I could look at them whenever I wasn't busy. I had written 6 answers from memory, and got ...

Hi. Gerald, I not only have rubymurray.org on my list of Favourites, I have designated it my Home Page so that every morning when I turn on my computer and start IE, the first thing I see is your wonderful home page and Ruby's beautiful face. It lights up my day. Talk about obsession. Best wishes to...

Hi, Gerald. I noticed it a few weeks ago, and thought it was very good. Even the font is reminiscent of Ruby's autograph. I had been thinking that Timmer was probably responsible, but now I know you deserve the credit. Well done. Sure, now we all know how deep your obsession is. Just kidding. Ralph

Hi everyone. Bernie, I'd bet that Gerald could digitize your old 78s. If you'd like to try it yourself, you could get Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition , which is very easy to use. I managed to create 4 CDs from 11 old cassette tapes. I had a problem with my records because my phonograph did not...

OK, Bernie.
I have an idea. I'm not going to listen to the song again to see if my hunch is right, but from your clue about needing sharp hearing, I'm going to go with "The Kellys".

I anticipate being shot down.

Best regards.
Ralph
PS Good work on #2, Gerald

Hi, Bernie.

After some consideration, I have to bet on this:

#2 : Galway Bay :
"I'll ask my God to let me make my Heaven
In that dear land across the Irish Sea"

I'll keep pondering the others.
Regards.

Hi Bernie & Graham. I can't find fault with Graham's choices, but I know the one that's got him beat (#8) is surely Delaney's Donkey: There was Riley pushin’ it, shovin’ it and shushin’ it, Hogan, Logan and all the bally crew, Police, and auxiliary, the Garrison Artillery, The Second Enniskillens an...

Hello, everyone. Since the ones who usually welcome new members seem to be busy elsewhere, I'll do the honour. Welcome to the Ruby Murray website Carter38, former Army Pilot in South Florida. I hope you enjoy all the photos, song samples, lyrics, videos, and many other memorabilia of Ruby's wonderfu...

Hi, everyone. I've often heard about Ruby's "husky" or "gravelly" voice (on low notes and when speaking), but no one has ever mentioned how true and strong were her higher notes. Although I love her husky low notes, even when they occassionally "catch" in her throat, it's the clarity, purity, and st...

Hello, Bernie. Thanks for the response to my choices. No, I can't say that these are my absolute favourites, but I really enjoy listening to them. They're not often mentioned on the Forum (except for "Scarlet Ribbons" perhaps), but I think that most fans will enjoy them. They will give casual visito...
