John's music brought me through the rough times of my life into the joyous times. Finding John in 1973, on the Johnny Carson show, led me into his music. My story is similar to others and unique as well. John Denver Tribute weeks in Aspen introduced me to others who became dear friends from around the world and deepened the JD connection. My heart fills with his music and with those whom i have met through mutual admiration, respect and love of his words. The singer is gone but the songs live on in our hearts forever.
