who is little Zachary?

I'm listening to Christmas songs tonight. In "A Baby Just Like You", who on earth is little Zachary? Presumably John Denver's son, but I've never known.
I've spent much of December lamenting the loss of my Jon Anderson Three Ships CD, which features some of the most earnest Christmas music ever. I like earnest Christmas music; that's why I enjoy Boney M's holiday CD so much. But Jon Anderson (unlike Boney M) isn't available on CD at all, at all. Oh, no, wait! As I was typing, I was playing around with YouTube and vixy (see below) and saw a note that Three Ships might indeed be available. Yippee!
So I was madly chuffed to come across http://www.vixy.net, which converts YouTube videos into MP3 files! See, a few Jon Anderson songs from Three Ships are on YouTube.
Best of all, this means I can get the audio file for "Casting for Dogs", one of my current obsessions. (Thanks to Jim for posting about on his blog - I never would have found it otherwise).
