i saw his Earth concert on PBS in Dec. 04. i agree with LittleHawk...he was a great guitarist and singer. the best part(imho) was when his band left the stage and he performed solo.

Met him twice. He was a very nice guy. Good on stage. He was with the Mitchell Trio then.

Yes, he was known to sing trad as well as contemporary.

I saw him loads of times on TV but not live. I was a great fan of his and I still love his music.

A sad loss.

His biggest drawback was his resemblance to Spaw. But just ignore that. He was a very fine guitarist and singer.

He was singing Silver Dagger in the footage.

perhaps with the Chad Mitchell Trio, or the Mitchell Trio as they were known when he sang with them.

I don't think he ever sang a traditional song, did he?

I just saw some 60's footage of John Denver singing traditional folk songs and playing guitar. He was impressive as both singer and guitarist. Where can I find any of his early folk recordings? Did any Catters see him live or on TV in his years as a 60's folk artist?
