If we could all but carry on with his love of Nature and how he gave a voice to those who have none....the forests, the waters and all who live there. Then this world would be a much better place to live. Miss him dearly....♥

Wow what memories this brings back for me! I was living in Alaska at the time he filmed some of this and wrote songs for the Autograph album. To this day his music is so emotional for me that I can't even explain it. I feel such a deep connection to John's music. As well as the scenes in the videos. Thank you so much for sharing these clips here on line.

This is an amazing recording of the song I only knew through the studio version. The whole essence of John Denver's music is contained in this simple, but deeply meaningful, song. Something really wonderful. :)
