    Those of "2024" please report with a like, those who still listen to this beautiful music. ❤ Spectacular, that is music, I was transported to those unique moments when music was enjoyed both dancing and singing it, there was no that obscenity, that vulgarity, we were happy until they came to destroy our fun thank you so much for this gift this medley of such pleasant memories

      I adored John Denver. I was so sad when he died. It is 2024 and I am feeling sad and nostalgic thinking of the people I have lost to death in the past and will in the future. I am creating a mix for myself of grieving songs that I am in the mood to listen to from time to time. This is one day after we lost Toby Keith to Cancer. This is 9 months after losing my mom to dementia. Wow...30 yrs since we lost John Denver. So many people dying from Covid...but none of mine thankfully...but so many did. Life is for the Living...with room for the Grieving that we will all go thru someday too often. Hold your loved ones tight.

    What often is lost amidst all the talk of his megastardom in the seventies, and the TV specials and the granny glasses and the messy divorce from Annie and the messier marriage to Cassie is that John Denver was at heart a great troubadour. Those of us who saw him live, onstage, alone with no accompaniment but his guitars-and a piano for one or two songs-understood this and it can be seen in these videos too. With just his soaring voice, his guitar, and his songwriting skills he conjured a better world that we could all live in and dream of and fight for. John Denver is no 70s fad; he’s a singer for the ages.

    He became my best friend when i was 13, in the 70’s, i was lonely and suicidal and John Denver’s music brought me peace and comfort. I was blessed to see him in concert in Oregon a month before his passing, it was like spending the evening with an old friend. And now at 60 years old, his music is a happy and comforting memory of my younger days. I love you, John Denver 💖

      My memories of John Denver wonderful music as we travelled in our car in 4 hour journeys to a weekend cottage. I filled my bag with spare batteries so we could play th he taped I had done on my much prized Thorn Radio Cassette player. The children loved John Denver as we did and would sing along till they fell asleep. I always find his voice so relaxing and the sincerity of his words made a wonderful peace in my heart. Thank you for all your amazing music over all these years.

      @@SharonMcwilliams78 He didn't find his way just fine if he physically abused his wives and brought his assistants constantly to tears. He should have recognized from these behaviors that he neeed therapy, and sought it. I have trauma. I have early life trauma as defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It has led to quite a few trauma responses in my emotions and behaviors. I have sought talk therapy, neurofeedback therapy, and brainspotting therapy (the latter two being among the ideal therapies for trauma suffered at the preverbal stage of child development). And I've done nothing of the type that John Denver did. My biological family background (I'm adopted) had alcoholism in it. I stayed away from the stuff even before I learned that. My adoptive mother had a cousin who was addicted to alcohol. Her stories were sufficient to keep me away from wanting to ever become reliant upon drink.
      Why did Denver turn to alcohol and abuse to deal with whatever traumas he had suffered, instead of seeking therapy? Certainly, he was a very wealthy man and could afford any type of therapy he wanted. My neurofeedback therapy was $250 and out-of-network, AND our insurance company doesn't cover it at all. So we paid $1000/month for it for 10 months till the therapist felt I was ready to stop treatment. It was a huge sacrifice. Why didn't Denver do something better with his trauma than hurt his wives and terrorize them and the people who worked for him, devoting their lives to following him around the world and serving him? Being away from their families? Why couldn't he be better, since he sang a lot about living a good life?
      Yes, I adore his music! I also adore the music of Richard Wagner, who nevertheless wrote operas championing German nationalism and whose music was utilized ubitiquously by Adolf Hitler, who idolized it.
      I do separate the man and the music. But, look at the comments down below. "He is an angel." "He is singing in Heaven." We don't earn Heaven. But if we did earn Heaven, it wouldn't be through skilled composing and singing. It would be by the quality of human being we are.
      I'm just saying people here are exactly not separating the music and the man, and are idolizing the man because of his angelic music. He was nothing but a hypocrite, just like many of the hypocrite priests and preachers who have lived secretly detestable lives unbeknownst to their supporters and followers.
      (And I understand you don't believe in Heaven. But you're definitely smart enough to get my drift.)

I wanted to sing and play a guitar too. I was a teenager when I first heard him. Or maybe just started to recognize what musians I liked. He was an amazing singer. I watched his movies too. The world lost such a great voice ,a great man when John Denver passed over.
      It was a sad sad day when he passed on from this place and to the next. I like to think all these singers and also other kinds of Artists are up there praising God and singing in His choir. But I also like to think maybe God sends them to different people here on Earth to bless them or give inspiration to someone who needs a little push.
      I know not everyone agrees on that . But it's a nice thought to comfort people.

    I was in a cafe on Galway's main street when I spotted John, and his band chatting, laughing, over coffe.They were having a golly good time touring Ireland, singing in venues throughout the country. I heard John say. "I'll get this guys." And went to the counter. I cease my opportunity and walked over to him and shook his hand and said, "I love your music, John; you have the most beautiful voice." First, he was amazed, then came that big broad John Dever smile, a smile, that melts your heart when you hear birds singing on a warm sunny day. That moment will stay with me untill I die.

      I was just a kid when I met him through
      his music - my sister and zi would jump on our parents’ bed to “Grama’s Feather Bed” - when he and Annie divorced, I cried. We used Annie’s Song at our wedding. It was the soul, the love, and the beautiful spirit I will always keep in my heart. This song will be at my own Celebration of Life. I hope to meet you, John, in the wild hereafter.

    My life was a living nightmare in the 70s. He kept me alive. I was born a nature and animal lover in my soul and the abuse, hunger, neglect tried to destroy every inch of my soul. His words and music saved my life. Reminded me who I was. The day he died was devastating for many of us. Thank the angels he left us his heart in his music, a legacy of love and guidance through humanities chaos

    I met John at Carswell AFB, Ft Worth, TX in 1963. We were all late teens and military brats - he would cart his guitar around and plink at it and sing with all of us when we'd get together and just hang out. Long before he became famous he was our shy friend. Miss him.

    Twenty six years ago I owned a newsagents shop here in the UK. I will never forget receiving the evening newspaper for that day and on the front was a picture and headline saying he had died. A light went off inside me. Privileged to see him perform live on several occasions. This song sums up my belief in life and will one day be played at my funeral. As Annie said at an Earth Day memorial concert “John was a truly beautiful man”.

    My all-time favorite singer. In the mid-70s, I took guitar lessons. I told the teacher that I didn't want to learn by notes, I wanted to be able to pick & sing John Denver songs. The first I learned was Sunshine On My Shoulders. Sang his songs to guitar & piano for many years. John Denver's songs go straight to my heart, & I sure miss him.

    John Denver was one of the great story tellers of all time. He was also so down to earth and so utterly sincere and always in the moment and connected to his audience and his music. He was a great humanitarian and a great human being. Not to mention arguably one of the greatest songwriters and musical performers of all time. Would give anything to have heard him live.

    As much as I thought I knew about John before his untimely passage into death, I had not known about this story or song before. With all of John's songs playing for the masses, this one stands out as the most powerful song he ever sang. And then,.....there's his voice that can set your feet upon the earth or lift you above the clouds. At damn near the same time. ❤
