A Tribute To Colorado

[RestorationAdvocate]

John may not have been born here in Colorado, but he lived here for many years (in Aspen) and brought a lot of fame and recognition to the state. Many of his songs were great anthems to this state and he adopted it as his own. You don't have to be born here to be considered a local. But I agree that the Bar D Wranglers do a great job (even though all of them are not native Coloradans either. A couple of them are Texans and at least one is from Arkansas. Thanks for the kudos on the slide show.

John Denver is not local. Born in New Mexico and lived all over the USA. This song is a great Tribute song to Colorado by the Bar D Wranglers and great slide show of Colorado.

Merle may have had the first hit with the song, but the BarD wranglers are local talent, as was John Denver and John's Anthem to the Colorado Rocky Mountains is a classic. Long Live the memory and the songs of John Denver.

Love Durango and the Bar D. Went there every summer and miss it now that I am in TX. Hope to take my kids there someday.

Yes, that's Gary Cook. And yes, they are awesome, maybe they were having an off night, but those guys are great!! And so is Colorado.

This version is NOT a great representation of the song Colorado OR the Bar-D-Wranglers. They usually do MUCH better. This one has lots of bad notes and flat spots.

Greg Ryder is the only one I've heard do it as close to perfect as can be. He and Jerry Baxter do it justice.

Matt Audette, in Blaine, WA, and Connie Holtzheimer do it fantastic too!

I want to see a video to the opossum somg! Moving back to Texas, might have to make one.

[RestorationAdvocate]

I think so, but I'm not sure. All I know is that these guys put on one fantastic show.

[blath]
