John Denver

I watched a PBS program about John Denver last night.
I have enjoyed John’s music for as long as I can remember.
His music makes me feel.
“Sunshine on my Shoulders” – well, makes me happy…get what I did there?!
“Poems and Prayers and Promises” – I have to say it now, it’s been a good life all in all…
“Some Days are Diamonds” – Some days are diamonds, some days are stones, Sometimes the hard times won’t leave me alone
“Calypso” – Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you, to light up the darkness and show us the way
“Looking for Space” – On the road of experience, I’m trying to find my own way
“A Baby Just Like You” – That you may know the warmth of love and wrap it all around you
John Denver was a wonderful songwriter and I thought a really good singer.
I loved it when he would do specials on TV, I recall one where he had this giant dome in the Rockies.  Inside it was springtime and on the outside, it was snowing.  Coolest thing ever.  He did shows with the Muppets and each one was better than the last.  Every year at Christmas, I listen to the Christmas album he did with the Muppets, it brings me joy!
Quite a long thought today, but just another example of how music can have an impact on our lives.
Listen to the radio today!  Or a CD, or a Record or your iPod!!
Sing along!
Car dance!!
It’s all so much fun and can touch your soul!
Have a great day!
By the way…check out John’s groovy shirt in the photo I attached!!!  FAR OUT!!!
