[CharlesMcGlade]

Kobluk a major talent. Awesome.

love this version "For Baby" :) so beautiful sounding, better more that classic version without other voices love John:)

Interesting - the first song is Ian Tyson's "Four Strong Winds". It was the FIRST song of the 100's that he wrote (and continues to write). Recently rated in the top 6 most influential songs in Canadian history.

[moparmtn]

Just a fubulous song with great harmony..... oh the folk era of the late 50's & 60's just can't be beat ... The seekers with Judith Durham, Chad Mitchel, The New Christy Minstrels... just to name a few .... what an era, what a sound .... if only we still had it today.... John Denver ... you are truly a treasure and greatly missed, along with Judith Durham your music means so much to me....

this was always one of my favorite JD songs, I didn't know these great singers did it as a trio, it sounds so good.

[sandinmyears]

My favorite song of theirs was "The Marvelous Toy."

I was a big fan of the Chad Mitchell Trio when I was in High School in the Washington, DC area. The Trio was booked to play at the Lisner Auditorium (George Washington University) in 1965 and I got tickets for myself and my two best friends to see them.

I was so disappointed when I found out that Chad Mitchell had left the Trio and had been replaced, that i almost decided not to attend the concert.

What a loss that would have been. John Denver was a fabulous replacement for Chad Mitchell.

What you did was understandable. Chad was and is a tremendous talent. If I had not met John at that time I might have felt the same but to meet him was to know he someday would be superstar.

I was early fan of CMT and then at Cellar Door when John Deutschendorf joined them....DENVER and found he was an AF brat like ME. Too bad he died so young. Saw the CMT last year in Bethesda and they were sooooo fine. Give one shivers to hear their harmonies.

Great memories...

[jmm1929]

Yes, can you remember "Can't Wait Til You're Governor, Lurleen," "Either You're A Congressman or Not (Adam Clayton Powell)," the " I Vas Not A Nazi Polka" and Mike's solo of the song about Canada the name of which I could never remember but his singing of it I will never forget.

[jnf91]

It's "Song For Canada"-Ian Tyson, I think.

[griz1969]

I saw JD in Ft. St. John, BC over 20 years ago and his voice live was as pure as his recordings!  Turn your head and one would believe it was a mastered cut. Truly a gifted man. Why and how did songsmiths such as he leave the "popular" mainstream? Truly sad.

[rod1148]

Was always a fan of folk music, Kingston Trio, Limeliters, and of course the Chad Mitchel Trio. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to attend any of their concerts. But a couple of years ago I had the honor to met Chad in my home town. Great person.

[JulianHertz]

truly beautiful, both songs are splendid :) thank you so much for this upload!

[jmm1929]

You can see them Dec. 5 at the Big Bear ski resort north of San Bernadino when they do a benefit concert to raise money for a new church for Father Joe Frazier.

[jmark50]

Great! I grew up with the CMT and then John Denver. Bought my 12 sting Gibson in 1968 after hearing Bells of Rhymney. thanks

[Alan62651]

I grew up with the Chad Mitchell Trio, and later became a big fan of John, as well. Good folk music just draws great players together.

[artichoke25]

I've always loved the Chad Mitchell Trio, Chad Mitchell solo and John Denver. What a joy to see this clip. Wish there was one of the whole show.

[Barbrad714]

[poetrymaster]

This is brilliant

[jmm1929]

As you may know, it was recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary and she changed it to "For Baby" because at the time she was pregnant.

[flbckfilms]

For Baby (For Bobbie) is my favorite John Denver song!! Thanks a million!!!!
