Hearing and watching John Denver singing his nature friendly songs is like a breath of fresh air. It reminds me of the days of yesteryear, back in the good old days.

My teacher taught us this song and I hadn’t thought of it since then. ❤ Never knew it was John Denver, added bonus!!

I saw him in concert in Rhode Island in 1994, during my summer break from Colorado State University, and I wore my CSU hat to the show. After the concert, several fans lined up near his bus hoping for a quick view of him as he was leaving. He quickly made his way along the gauntlet, clearly just trying to get to his bus, but when he got to me, he saw the hat. He pointed to it, smiled very warmly, clasped both his hands around mine, and said, "Good luck in school. Thanks for coming." I took up race-walking a few years ago (5K, 10K, etc.) and I have a pre-race playlist I listen to, during which I stretch out, do some deep-breathing exercises, and pray before heading to the start line. This song is on that playlist and I think of that encounter every time.

Love this song, and loved JD's voice. Grew up listening to his recording of Christmas stuff with the Muppets. To those mentioning JD's struggles, etc and the idea of him going or not going to heaven because of his faith, or lack thereof: This planet is not an easy one to live on, and it's so easy to become angry, even as your soul wants peace wherever you can find it. The songs JD recorded, particularly the environmental ones, were reflective, I think of what he truly felt deep inside, and wanted to express, even as he got caught up in his ego. And as for the notion that JD wasn't Christian...I don't know about that. I didn't know him personally. But I believe he deserved and still deserves forgiveness all the same, just because he was human, and struggled with personal stuff, just as we all do.
