What others think about Denver, John |

| | John Denver had a powerful message within the simple words and melodies of his songs. To listen to his songs, hear him speak in interviews. read his words from the 70's, 80's 90's is an insight to an enlightened man that understood the connection of every human to each other and our connection |

| | John Denver was one of the best storytellers of our time, and he used his music to share his stories. I have loved his music since I first heard him in the mid-70's in concert, and I have admired him since. I still pray for peace, as he urged at the end of his concerts. |
