Thread Name: John Denver
Subject: RE: John Denver
There are precious few artists that I remember "exactly" when I first heard them, Hank Snow doing Golden Rocket, and Elvis Presley with I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine, both over good old WCKY in Cincinnati a few years apart. I knew the instant that I heard them that their music would be a part of my life as long as they made music and I would be around to hear it. The only other one that comes to mind at the moment is hearing a song on the jukebox in Williams Tavern in Fults, Illinois. I remember going over to what must have been one of the last nickel jukeboxes in the world, and looking up the song to see who it was~~John Denver and Country Roads. Some things are just made for remembering. I have many favorites, but the one which comes back to me most often is Whiskey Basin Blues. Thanks, John.
