Rory helped his daughter learned the lyrics to a song he taught his oldest daughter Heidi when she was Indy’s age.
The song? “Daddy What If” by Shel Silverstein.
He typed out the lyrics and then drew pictures next to the parts Indy would sing. Rory also changed the lyrics from “Daddy” to “Papa” because that’s what Indy calls him.
Indiana practiced every chance she could get.
“She was so proud of herself and so happy that she could sing a real song with her Papa.”
“By Christmas time, she was joining me on stage to sing it in front of the room full of folks who’d traveled from all across the country to be with us… and oh, what a special moment it was for her, for me, and for the surprised people in the concert hall,” he wrote.
After their special onstage performance, Rory got thinking. What if they recorded the song in a studio? What if they made their own video for it?
In honor of Father’s Day, Rory released the father-daughter duo’s special song.
