There’s no greater feeling than getting to share your passion with your child. When she was just a little baby Indiana “Indy” Feek would join her parents Rory and Joey Feek onstage during their shows. Even after Joey died from cervical cancer when Indy was just two years old, Rory continued to perform and little Indy continued appearing onstage with her father.
It wasn’t until recently that Indy, now 8, expressed her desire to sing alongside her father. “It didn’t take me but a moment to think of which song it should be – one that I’ve known and loved for years. Actually for decades,” the county singer wrote on his blog.
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.
