@Yumbo3 Sometimes I just hang my head in pain just by the thought of this new, crappy, blasphemous music, as for this, it's much better.
;( sometimes
:) other times.

There's more to putting over a song than vocal technique. There's a sstory that John got some advice form Placido Domingo: make every note count. John was infinately better after the Maestro's counsel. There was and is no one better at what he did.

"Darcy Farrow," a folk song written by Steve Gillette and Tom Campbell, mentions Yerington, Nevada ("Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights / That shine in the night out of Yerington town," and other landmarks in the area, including Virginia City, the Carson Valley, and the Truckee River. Critics have noted the geographical inaccuracy in the line "The Walker runs down to the Carson Valley plain." performed by John Denver and recorded on his multi-platinum album Rocky Mountain High

@Yumbo3 There are lots of folksingers every bit as good as John Denver out there Yumbo3, you just got to make the effort to find them.

Hello johnfoconnor, Yep, Rocky Mountain High 1972. I was 11 that year, and couldn't find a record shop locally, that sold JD albums. I always coveted this album above all others. . Anytime I went to London, I would head straight to the bigger record stores in search of it. I eventually bought it in 1980, in a bargain bin for 50p.One mans' trash , was pure gold to me. I treasure it to this day.I seem to be on a journey ,listening to Johns' earlier songs lately. Reliving my youth maybe?Happy days!

Was John's all time fav...wrote by a class at UCLA in folk music as a sem project. This is what they come up with..lov it myself. Bet they all got a's for this!!!!!
Where have all our folk singers go? Did they all die when John did? Or do the new generation not know that there was a time when beautiful music was sung and listened to.no filthy words...Just beauty and truth. Where have our singers gone? I will always love John and his beautiful spirit. The music died the day that John did. This generation with its sick, filthy music. has lost a lot. I feel sad for their loss. John's biggest fan

Would make a beautiful movie. To see such a love unfold and not even broken
by death. True love overcomes all.
