I listened to Windsong repeatedly when I first bought it.
I still get Late Night Radio stuck in my head from time to time.

Good stuff there...


Rest easy, John

"This Old Guitar" is one of my favorites......very melancholy song.

dive on, JD

Well, whaddya know! I *knew* "Nothing But A Breeze" sounded familiar! I totally forgot that John Denver recorded it years ago! (And JD's version is similar to JB's, too.)

The first live concert I ever saw was John Denver... '77... I think.

Been a fan of his music for a very long time and I know most of
those songs.

Thanks for reminding me and us of another great poet/song writer.

One of my greatest regrets is that although I was (and am) a huge fan of JD's music, I never got to see him live in concert.

I was 17 or 18 and my girlfriend and I saw him in the Lake Charles (LA) Civic Center.

I stood in my chair the whole time and sang every note.

Now that I think back....

kinda reminds me of a few other concerts I've been to.

Always loved JD.. saw him at Fiddlers Green in 95? I think.. outdoors, sunset, his songs. Awesome.

Same here.

Love the song about Darcy Farrow and now I spend most of my free time in the summer, "Where the Walker runs down to the Carson Valley Plain." Good trout fishin there

They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through
They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too


Favorite JD album- Farewll Andromeda

Me three.

It was actually on our calendar for his next swing thru California...but he died before that happened.

+1

"The Harbor Lights Concert" CD is the next best thing, though.

As an aside, another sad irony is that, when JD was killed, he had a brand new album of songs written and ready to record (and, IMO, John's voice and songwriting in the 1990s were at least as good and maybe better than ever, even though he didn't get played on the radio then). Sadly, we'll never hear those songs now.

I think "On the Road" is my favorite JD song.

I saw the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band back in '92 or '93 and he came out to sing "Ripplin' Waters" with them.
