Posts from chester7777 in thread „YouTube Tributes to Duke“

lasbugas,

WELCOME to the Original John Wayne Message Board! You have joined with an international community of some of the friendliest John Wayne fans you are likely to encounter anywhere on the Internet.

That is a wonderful tribute to Duke! You have great photos, and I really like how you put it all together. Of course, with John Wayne speaking in the background, it couldn't be better.

We hope upon hope that you are able to speak some English, because our knowledge of the French language is sorely lacking.

We hope you have a wonderful time here!

Chester and the Mrs.

Wow! What an incredible tribute! Very well done - I really liked how it starts out with Duke walking towards the camera in so many shots from his films, then some great shooting and fighting action, mixed with some great romantic shots, and then ending with him literally 'riding off into the sunset.'

Thanks for sharing, Bill!!

Quote from Robbie

This is a great tribute to John Wayne, it may have benefited from a better soundtrack and less text otherwise its an enjoyable treat.

Robbie,

I'm not sure how we missed this a few days ago, but we sure enjoyed it this morning. THANK you for posting it!

Chester

Here's a tribute I haven't seen before (even though it's been on YT for a while) -

If somebody already posted this, I apologize. I did look for it and didn't see it, and I didn't remember having seen it before. A real nice tribute to Duke!

Keith,

I don't know why there were two YT's, but I hope you don't mind that I went in and edited your post so there is only one now.

Chester

Keith,

To keep things a little more organized, I have merged your thread into this YouTube forum thread. It's good to see that the link to Jennifer's song is still good (see the third link in Duke Pilgrim's post above).

Chester

No problem, Mark, we're always happy to help! It took me awhile to figure it out myself.

We enjoy these YouTube videos as much as everybody else!

Chester

Mark,

The way you can post a YouTube directly here is to copy all the characters after the equal sign (=) in the web address, paste them into your post, then highlight those characters and click the little YouTube button just above the box where you type in your post (far right).

Try it with another one and see! I posted your link below as a direct YouTube player, using the method described above.

The guy has some pretty decent artwork, better than some I've seen. He really captures Duke's eyes and facial expression very well in some of the pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Quote from Elly

Hello Jim
Now we just need to muster enough folks to take the pictures.

In our case, we need to muster more TIME. My heart is in it, but it seems like we've been awful busy lately. We do have pics of the Mrs. and myself with our JW stand-up, I'll see if I can dig them up. There are the photos of us at the 26 Bar Ranch earlier this year.

Quote from Elly

Did you have a look at my suggestion for our youtube tribute? that involved a JW standee as well!

Yes Elly, I did see that suggestion for our youtube tribute. I think its a great idea.
I wasn't quite sure how to get it started, as we're not too video proficent. Got any more Ideas on how to proceed ?

Chester

What a COOL idea!

Did you have anything in particular in mind?

Chester and the Mrs.

Finally was able to watch them all, and all I can say is,

God Bless John Wayne . . . and UTube, for making these video's availible to us folks.

Chester

Duke Pilgrim,

Great find! I really enjoyed the one on the Wild Goose! I haven't watched the others, but will be soon (fighting off the 11 year old, for the computer . . . .)

Chester

Here's an interesting one -

Regarding the interview with Gretchen Wayne, I wonder why other family members weren't interviewed. I wonder how Duke's kids felt about her being asked to comment on how Duke thought and felt about things, being that she was an "in-law"?

gt, that was a GREAT last thing to watch before going to bed. It was fun trying to name all the movies (I think the Mrs. beat me . . . but not by much ), and the music was very appropriate throughout.

Thanks!

And good night, all!

Chester

John Wayne's birthday seems to have brought out the creativity in folks, wanting to pay tribute to him.
