missing you John!

@solofiddle This is the first time I see him playing fiddle, but I'm also sure he's NOT faking it!! The fiddle in the original studio-record is played much faster than John does over here; still much more original for him to play it himself, and it sounds okay, not like a master piece, but for someone who also sings, writes songs, plays guitar at a very high level, this is a quite nice piece of 'a little bit extra'
-
i'll bet he's still playing his songs and fiddle up in heaven now

He has so much talent and leaves us far too young.
I wish I could go to his live concert though it will never happen now.
Even though I never meet him at all, I miss him and his music,
Somehow you wonder why some people that should live long do not and why people that should not live at all do.

Yes, John Denver is really playing fiddle, not faking it. The other fiddler is often playing chords or backup on his fiddle when Denver plays the lead melody. And I presume that other fiddler is John Martin Sommers, who wrote the tune. Good tune! I didn't know Denver played fiddle and this is fun to see!

knew someone who worked at Wolf trap here in Va. and they said John would gather ALL of the folks who worked there arould and have a mini concert for them, he would even help them take out the trash if he had time..... he said John was the most pleasent artist to work with.
