I absolutely adore John Denver. I mourned for days when he died. His songs always make me feel good. I want to get lost on a mountain somewhere when I listen to his songs. Do you have any favorites? I love Annie's Song, Perhaps Love, and Sunshine on my Shoulder among others.

John Denver was a unique talent that couldn't be categorized which is what I liked about him. I love Annie's Song - It's my favorite. Also, Sunshine on my Shoulders, Rocky Mountain High, Take Me Home Country Roads, and Calypso. I rocommend the Jouhn Denver Country Roads Collection to any fan. It's a fabulous 4 CD set. While living in the Monterey area, I took some pictures of John (one of which which I'll post) at the 1997 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro- Am where he paired up with Clint Eastwood (they lost to Joe Pesci and Huey Lewis). A few years later, after a leisurely round of golf at Pebble Beach he look his new experimental plane out over the Monterey Bay and soon found both fuel tanks empty. He went down just off Lover's Point, one of his favorite places in the world. Several fans, including myself, went out there several times to just listen to his music together. The city of Monterey would not allow fans to erect a tribute to him there, but I think eventually a tree was planted there in his name.

I totally agree with you. I sit and listen to John Denver while I sculpt. I have my headset on and I am fully concentrating on my piece that I am sculpting and it takes a lot to get my attention!! I have the 3 cd set Forever John Denver I listen to the first cd the most though. I will look for that set. Thanks for responding!

Oh yes. John Denver well not a name that you hear too often these days. If I had to pick an all time favorite, it would have to be, " Wild Montana Skies." Funily enough too my friends used say that I looked like him. I never saw it, but they sure rode me about it.

Nice to see all the positive comments about John! His voice was beautiful and his music continues to touch my soul. I especially love the lesser known songs (wish they'd get some airplay): Yellowstone, Coming Home (his last song) Healing Time On Earth Wandering Soul The Gift You Are It's About Time Falling Leaves The Wings That Fly Us Home Blue Water World All This Joy On The Wings Of A Dream For You Children Of The Universe I could go on.............

I love almost all of his music. Grandmas feather bed reminds of the big feather tick I use to sleep on as a child.
