@d0csevern This is my favorite track, too. I made the video because there were only a couple of others on YT, each very lovely, but the images in this clip lend to what my mind's eye sees when I listen to it. Have a nice Sunday afternoon!
@Artisticer ayuh - there's one with Bambi in it which to my mind is a little to sweet for the piece - a bit derogatory for me. Like this video - captures some of what the piece is about.
great contribution; i guess the best instrumental version of John ever. I have the album on vinyl (says that John played on the 12 string guitar, Mike Taylor on normal guitar, Dick Kniss on bass, Gary Chester on perscussion and Frank Owens on piano. :)
@zjsNL Thank you! I have the vinyl somewhere but couldn't find it to reference. I listened to Late Winter Early Spring so often on the LP it developed skips! Which I still expect to hear, btw. :-D Thanks for the great info!
the tabs are available for this beautiful song (google it) along with a story about the only time it was played live and the guys (Mike Taylor) was suprised that so many people liked it. (he got a standing ovation) go figure. Can anyone imagine being this talented and not knowing it . WOW
@cryrocker ~ Pardon me that so much time has passed since your comment and I've not responded ~ Thank you! I will google the tabs and story. I still have an old, well-worn songbook from 1975, "An Evening with John Denver," but "Late Winter, Early Spring" isn't in it. It is amazing that Taylor was surprised at a standing ovation!
@lightworkeruk I just read Pete Huttlinger's "blah blah blog" (his title for it, not mine) and you are correct about Mike Taylor playing lead ... he also wrote the tune. Thanks for helping / straightening me out! :-) Now wondering if I should re-do the whole video ... would hate to be misinforming people since at the end of my vid I give credit to Peter Huttlinger. By the way, the blog also informs fans that Mike Taylor just passed away around the end of August 2010. Sad! RIP.
This track is the reason I bought this LP way back when - it is a very beautiful and thought provoking piece.

According to the album blurb Mike Taylor played lead on that album :) Not sure how correct wikipedia is though :o)
