I am a huge John Denver fan and love every thing he has ever recorded, but this performance will never be topped. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.
This song reminds me of long lazy afternoons sitting next to the river in Williamsville VA at the gorge ...with my wonderful husband and our daughter...wonderful, beautiful times!! Even while I'm sitting in my office at work I can almost here the river while listening to this song...
My God...I'm back again from my world travels and at my home in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and have just come in from the deck, watching the sunrise on the foothills and back peaks, and the flatirons of Boulder...at my laptop and I find this!! a piece of my youth...long lost. What a gift! thanks so very much my man.
Oh my gosh, is it really 36 years since I fell in love with this song!! As wonderful in 2011 as it was in 1975. Fabulous, thanks for posting - a real trip down memory road!!
@ronstadtfanaz .. A great LP it is, RFA! And I was surprised, too, at how Ibby's tune wasn't properly uploaded.. I'm glad EMI allowed this one and didn't block it.. Thanks for your comment and for stopping by! And thank you EMI!! SCP
Unfortunately,a lot of Nitty Gritty's good music is noticably absent from youtube.One thing I would like to see is a good posting of their song Cosmic Cowboy as it is on the Dirt,Silver,and Gold album.There is a MP3TUBE one posted,but the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired.I wish I had the capability..hint..hint!
In a dorm room 1975 at UNCW. To stoned to speak. Nitty gritty for hours on end.
