Subject: RE: John Denver - 60's Folk Singer
no I have no adverse comments to make about john denver. He was damn good. I just think maybe when you're that good everything sounds great - so some of his songs could have done with more careful writing - but they still sounded good - oh yes, at least good, maybe even great!

I don't think you do clunkers when you're that good. But not many people can cover your work. I used to get guitar students come up to me and ask how how to play certain songs - all I can say is, I found the songs quite difficult to get a handle on - some of them I'd forgotten almost as it stopped playing. Maybe that was me.

John Denver, a superior human being. His biopic is on tv this Fri - English terrestial that is.
