Miss his sweet voice.

You and me, both. Such a loss.

Last time I saw him he played alone...not backup singers or band. It was like sitting in your living room with 1000 of your closest friends.

He has always been a favorite - he just made me feel peaceful. I saw a production about him at Barter Theater in Abingdon, Virginia and it was so touching. Such a loss for all of us.

OK. Now I feel stupid. Is there something else going on with the Denver thing....I just got on the internet after a long day of school and thought this thread was really about John Denver. Maybe not? I think BarbAnn and I are on the same page.

John Denver is my all time favorite singer. I saw him in concert a couple of times. The second time was an out door concert at a small winery and we were in row 12 from the stage. It was a warm summer evening and it felt like such an intimate setting. I'm so glad we paid the high price of tickets that June because that October he was gone. ;'(

Spammer was digging up every thread related to Denver.

BUT....

A while back I was on the road for a couple of hours and ran across a station that only played songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's. "Rocky Mountain High" came on. So beautiful. It made me sad that he is gone. My mom, sister and I saw him in Lake Tahoe at a special show at 3 am in 1978. We were on stand-by but got seats about 10 feet from the stage. Jay Leno opened. Then 2 hours of music. So wonderful and great memories John Denver's music brings back.

I loved his music but only was able to see him perform once and I was waaay back in the cheap seats. He died right off the Monterey coast at a place I have visited often and I always think of him when I am there.

Loved his soothing voice. Saw him in concert once, many lighters were lit!

Read his autobiography. Not such a nice guy.

Actually saw him perform live at a Copper Mt. CO with the audience sitting on the mountainside. Wonderful.

When I was in York, England earlier this month I was at a nice restaurant and they were playing John's music.The Brits seem to have a liking for oldies. Anyway, it brought back a lot of memories all good.

He's on my iPod. I plan to have Prayers & Poems & Promises played at my funeral (and as I'm typing this I remembered we had had Perhaps Love sung at our wedding).

He was - and still is- my favorite. His music is the soundtrack of my life, especially PPP.

Since the legality of marijuana in Colorado, I think they ought to make Rocky Mountain High the state song.

The Denver offense became the John Denver offense when Everybody was High during the Super Pot Bowl this year.

And of course, the game was in progress at 4:20 Seattle time, but not at 4:20 Denver time.

Northwest, here in Colorado, that is the-game-that-shall-not-be-named; I'll thank you not to refer to it. Ever. Again.
