He came looking for the answers to some questions on his mind
Seeking truth and understanding, in the hope that he would find
A way to better serve his brothers and his sisters in the sun
Sharing all that he was given, giving all to everyone

It amazes me, and I know the wind will surely someday blow it all away
It amazes me, and I'm so very grateful that you made the world this way

As you will know, John was a fine guitar player. OK, that's an understatement.  Do you know any other instruments John has ever played (please state also when he did)

2

This picture was taken from a televised concert in 1976 in "The Talk Of The Town" in London. We feel every concert John has given should be broadcasted, but it is not. Can you tell which concerts have ever been on TV?

3

"The kisses that I live for". What about the songs in which John sings about kisses?

John mostly performed alone. But there are some people with whom he sang together. Tell us who and when and where.

I had the privilege on October 15, 1977, to see John Denver at the old Olympia Stadium in Detroit, Michigan.  It was the very first World Hunger Concert that was setup by the late Harry Chapin.  It was Chapin and Denver that got the whole thing going.
The concert was more than a classic. It included John Denver, Harry Chapin, James Taylor, and Gordon Lightfoot. Gordon Lightfoot's lead guitarist was there also. That was it. That was the band. These legendary singer/songwriters performed with each other; they did backup vocals for each other, and simply left a mark in my being that will never see an equal.
I was very fortunate to have front row seats for this concert in the round. The stadium held about 20,000 people in the stands (it was the former home of the Detroit Red Wings), and about 3,000 more on the main floor. The night is a night that will live with me forever.

I just thought I would write to you, and tell you about that very special night.

Did you know that John sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Logan Utah at Utah State University in the 1980's.  I'll have to look up the date.  It was in conjunction with his fight agaist world hunger.  I sing in the Tabernacle Chior, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Just thought you might like to know.

Thanks very much for your story too, Carol.
