My many memories of....
When I finished my mission, my mom and 2 older sisters came to pick me up. I remember exactly where we were when they said to me that there were two things that they didn't write to me while I was on my mission because they knew they would upset me. The first was a funny thing - the second did make me sad. It was the day I was told that John Denver had died in a plane crash! I still feel sad! He was an amazing song writer and singer. My biggest regret is that I never had the opportunity to see him in concert. It would have been so amazing. I love how happy all of his songs are and the messages are so beautiful. The other night on KUED they had a tribute to John and I recorded it and have watched it a few times. I just love his music. At my wedding lunch we had a little music time. Chris sang and played on his guitar "The Power of Two" from the Indigo Girls (love, love that song and the Indigo Girls). My dad and I sang together the duet "Perhaps Love" by John and Luciano Pavarotti. My dad has always thought he was Pavarotti and I have always been John Denver. So we sang the duet that way! Chris had no idea of my love of John! Over the last 10 years he has started to understand! Don't ask me my favorite song because there would be no way of narrowing it down to less than 20 songs! I sure am missing John Denver today!

JENNY! I LOVE John Denver, too! Isn't he the best? And the Indigo Girls, definitely my fave. We should get together and sing a few duets sometime...
Jenny you crack me up!!! I love both John Denver and the Indigo Gilrs, but then again we grew up listening to the same music.
Can I come listen to you and Becky jammin' out to the Indigo Girls and John Denver?
You know that I am feel the same way you do about John Denver. Ahh so relaxing and beautiful. I love his songs and I think I watched the same show you did. I sure sang along loudly.
I never knew!!! I have so many CDs. I love that John Denver special, but it always makes me sad too.
I hate to tell ya, but I actually did see him in concert :) Sigh. I've always felt a little cheated by it though because it was outside and they kept delaying it for threat of rain. After an hour of waiting there was a light sprinkle for 30 about seconds. After that they started the concert but only performed half of it!!! How wrong is that?!
At that concert he sang a song called, "Get your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you goodbye." For some reason that one stuck in my memory :)
So what was the other thing your mom and sisters didn't tell you while on your mission? Or did I totally miss that in your story?
What a nut. I remember telling you about John Denver while in Europe. You were quite upset. You "borrowed" my cd player to listen to my cd and I never saw my cd player the rest of the trip.
As for Indigo Girls...remember going to the concert? The drunk lesbians singing behind us? Ah, those were the days!
ooh- I love John Denver too. Now I know why we are such good friends :)
I just remember that our trip to Europe to get you was such an adventure. I remember telling you and not understanding why it was so upsetting to you.
I had the same thing happen... got home from Portugal and learned that he had passed away. I was so sad!! We used to dance to my parents' John Denver records when I was growing up.
