Bowie RIIP (Part 3): The Little Drummer Girl

Continuing from my previous post, note from David Bowie's wiki page:

David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016^[1])

Two things stand out.  First his surname Jones is an addition to the recent "John/Jack/Jones... " pattern-cluster.  And he died two days after his birthday which is also an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster, given that January 8th is the birthday of my stepson. 

I also consider this a means of prompting me/us to return to Wikipedia's Deaths in 2016 site under the January 8 listing to find where the inner twin world are leading.  This is what I found: 

• Hamdy Ahmed Mohamed Khalifa ( 9 November 1933 – 8 January 2016) 
• Maria Teresa de Filippis (11 November 1926 – 8 January 2016) 

A "November 9, __, 11/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  So a bit of homework to bridge the gap, and that I will leave for you. Note as well that the date of  11/11 is an addition to the "Identical Number Sequence" and a "Notable Day" pattern cluster, notable due to the fact that it's the only day/month of the year that consist of 4 identical numbers.


I recollect having posted about David Bowie very early on in my Toumai blog, note this excerpt:

Little Drummer Girl (Thursday, December 22, 2011): 

I stumbled onto this video of David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing The Little Drummer Boy which was recorded in 77.  Out of curiousity I checked to see who wrote the song and lo and behold, I find that it was Katherine Kennicott Davis... a woman!? It was originally titled "The Carol of the Drum". It became famous when recorded by Harry Moses Simeone, born May 9, 1911- February 22, 2005 (so, note the twin numbers... not to mention the name is in keeping with my "Harried" series of Posts... definite cluster synchro's happening). 

I wonder if Katherine were alive today... if she would write one called the Little Drummer Girl?

What I didn't know back then, was that Harry Simeone's date of death would become personally meaningful.  Nearly two years ago on February 22nd, my grandson was born.  I have stated this on many occasions since-- when he turns 8, the date will be 2/22/22.

Note from Katherine Kennicott Davis's wiki page:

• Katherine Kennicott Davis (June 25, 1892 - April 20, 1980)

Note the following regarding the day of her death:

• April 20 -  is the 110th day of the year (111th in leap years)... 255 days remain

Since 1980 was a leap year, Davis was born on the 111th day of the year.
