When I first started on RU-vid in late 2007, two of my first subscribers were Jim (941jes) and Dallas (dholm13). We quickly formed a strong friendship and one of us decided we were 'The Three Musketeers' and would be friends for life and we wrote and chatted on a daily basis and stopped using our real names- Jim became Porthos, Dallas became Athos and I am Aramis!!
Sadly, Athos (Dallas) passed away in March 2010 and Porthos (Jim) had a major health scare in 2009 from which,thankfully he recovered although spent much less time on line.In December 2012 those problems returned and he sadly passed away in March 2013 He helped promote dozens of young RU-vid talents and like Dallas was a really great guy and this was a tribute I did to him in 2010 and now resent to those who may have known him. This is for you Porthos my friend for life!!
Lyrics: I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty?
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty?
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty?
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I read your description and felt a little teary. It is amazing how we can meet people online and feel such a close connection. I have friends that I have made here on YT and never met and ones that have left and I really do miss them. I've always loved this ABBA song one of the most emotional songs they did. Thank you for this video.

That's a very touching dedication. We'll keep good thoughts for "Porthos" Jim.

They both lived in the USA-one in Minnesota and the other in Pittsburg and I am in the UK- YT sure is a world community :)

Thanks somuch-the power of the net eh?-three guys who never met but were firm friends on and offRU-vid and the support they gave to fellow YTtubers was incredible-one even paid for a young German Ytuber to go and stay with him and his family just before his death.......and the other was constantly pushing other Tubers work On a person level,they were instrumental in pushing me to start making my own slide shows and we exchanged many emails on and off the Tubeand got to know each other very well

Many thanks Elin-still seems strange not to see them turn up around the first comments as they always used to........

Howdy Bill, I don't know who said it, or if I'm quoting it right, but I believe it's a fitting example of the friendship of the "Three Musketeers". “By chance we met, by choice we became friends” Be well my friend, Lenny
