Subject: RE: John Denver - 60's Folk Singer
Lizzie - I wish I'd written ..."HE LET ME SOAR WITH EAGLES, HE LET ME STAND UPON 'CATHEDRAL MOUNTAINS' HE TOOK ME OUT INTO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS...TO MONTANA...HE MADE ME FEEL SAD, HAPPY, ANGRY, INQUISITIVE.....ALL THE THINGS THAT A GREAT SONGWRITER IS ABLE TO MAKE SOMEONE FEEL.... Your words explain it all so clearly - and I listened to Goodbye again this morning, Jet plane too - JD's honesty, his sorrow, his life was poured out in his songs and I am so glad I was able to kick start my guitar playing and singing with his 'EASY TO PLAY, FUN TO SING' songs. (Thanks M Ted)
Gone too soon - what more might he have achieved?

Back to the turntable for more.
