@sebectec Mr. Mallett, I just came across a video of John performing your song live at the Aspen Music Festival with an orchestra conducted by Lee Holdridge. It was uploaded by MrASPENDENVER2 on Dec 30, 2011. If you search Ballad of St. Anne's Reel John Denver Live, you should find it. Enjoy!

Thank you for these treasures- and for uploading the entire show. What I remember and treasure most about John's concerts were the explanations and conversations between songs. He was a master communicator, by way of his music, his voice, his body language. All together, he could convey a messa...

When you watch someone do, what they were meant to do by their creator, you can't help but be moved. I truly believe that is what made John so popular around the world.

Promise, pain, sorrow, joy, love... I think John felt these things at a level of intensity that matched his talent. Lucky for us, his talent included the words and the music to express our shared humanity. In a powerful way, I think he helps us to have greater compassion for one another and the ...

After a 3 month trip out west in 1976 at age 5 I started school as the only student with every John Denver song memorized! I have treasured his music ever since, an unabashed fan throughout high school, college and beyond. I was lucky to attend several concerts of John's, and it always felt lik...

@Tranquilize06 It's Bob Marley- his sister introduced Tracy at the beginning and it's his song that Tracy is singing.

I once trained for a marathon running almost exclusively to Bob Seger tunes. This sure brings me back to about mile 15 or 16, when this song would bring a bit of a jump to my stride. What a soundtrack he provided for many many miles.

Tracy and Bruce! These are two of my favorites! To hear them sing My Hometown together was an absolute treat. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting. You have made my day!

Tracy is as authentic as any singer/songwriter can be. She sings from her soul- not for the money, the fame, or the recognition. Music that pure is timeless. I only hope I can see her perform live one day. I can only imagine it will be like a little taste of heaven.

Tracy's music is pure magic! Last weekend my 18 month old, Cecilia, was in the emergency room suffering from an asthma attack. Desperate to get her to settle down and stop crying, I started to sing "Fast Car." She stopped crying on the second or third word. The look on the faces of the nurses...

I owe Tracy a great debt of gratitude. Picture this- it's 95 degrees, my 1 year old has a fever of 103, and she's been screaming for an hour and a half (so loudly that the neighbor stopped by to see if she could help). I had tried everything in my "mom-bag", including a bath, a bottle, Tylenol,...

In 1976 I was just five years old when my parents took our family on a three-month trip out west. Over thousands of miles of highway, John Denver's 8-track tapes played 'til they were nearly worn through. I feel blessed beyond measure that many of my earliest memories are of the love of my famil...

Like so many of John's songs, they can carry multiple messages depending upon what is happening in your life when you listen. I have danced both of my babies to sleep to this song at 2:00am. Tired moments- but among my most treasured. His songs have been a sound track to my life for as long a...

I have been a John Denver fan since the age of five. In 1976, my parents brought only his 8 tracks on a three-month trip out west. We visited just about every National Park from Michigan to the west coast and it felt like he was singing just to us. I always have a JD CD in my car, and just aft...
