Kingston Crossroads: Re: John

Thanks for your post, Ken. I'm a big John Denver fan who also enjoyed his days with the Chad Mitchell Trio.
As fate would have it they were supposed to record John's "Leaving On A Jet Plane" but for some reason Peter Paul & Mary grabbed it first.
Ironically, the song became PP&M's only #1 hit. (Puff The Magic Dragon & Blowin' In The Wind reached #2)

Though I pretty much love all of John Denver's songs, my all time favorite would have to be "Poems, Prayers & Promises."

Far Out! :>)

For All John Denver Fans, and Susan for sure!

I've been a John Denver fan since his days with The Mitchell Trio. When he went solo, sometimes he was a bit over the top with his "Far Out!" stage manner, but his talent as a songwriter and performer always shone bright for me. I appreciated John more in the 1980s-1990s, when he "matured," which gave his music and stage persona a less frenetic and more dignified presence. I wish he hadn't bought that Rutan Long-EZ ...

Enjoy!
