Lyrics:
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky Mountain high (in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (in Colorado)

    YES I do. I had the honor of being his massage therapist for a week. I was 6 months pregnant at time. I used Calypso and Fly like an Eagle for the first underwater home birth in our town of South Lake Tahoe. John invited me to the his show, got me a chair and and asked me when it was over how I like the show. A memory I will never forget. Earth Day is tomorrow, and he sang for Mother Earth. God bless you John, may your music and love shine down on us all.

    Yep. For all his songs but especially this one. I’m always wandering around the mountains in Colorado and usually can’t help but belt out a few verses of Rocky Mountain High when I get to a summit. I’m off key but luckily it’s only mountain goats, marmots, and ptarmigans that are listening, and they don’t seem to mind.

    I knew John back in the Seventies as I was a consultant brought in to help with a project he was doing. One night a small group of us sat around a campfire in the Rockies as he sang this song. Beyond magical! I will never forget that evening or John. He was a national treasure.

Next week I have planned a very special Celebration of Life for my husband of 60 years who just passed. Rocky Mountain High will be sung at his Celebration. Has there ever been a more beautiful love song than Annie's Song?

    First time I saw him live was 1984, not long after his divorce. That tour he was sort of going back to his roots. Just him, completely alone. Him, 3 guitars and a piano, and absolutely nothing else. 10,000 people sat mesmerized for 2-1/2 hours! He had an incredible gift of being able to connect, not just with the audience, but with every individual member of the audience. Every person there felt like the whole thing was for them. Very few entertainers have that gift.

    @@scrappydude1 True, it was a gift. Saw him live twice; first time in Nashville, and then in Salt Lake City. Both times he was so down to earth and completely at home performing his music as if we were at his place. Think most of audience felt that way because no one wanted the show to end.

I was 16 and found home in a place I had never been before. Finished my last 2 years of high school there. Went into the Navy in 1984 and never made it back to the place I always referred as the only home I ever knew.

    Was a ski bum out in Aspen, in 1975/76, working in Snowmass as a desk clerk. Our night auditor looked exactly like JD, and with my granny-glasses, cowboy hat and guitar, he was the spitting image. We'd set him up in the mid-courtyard area around one of the fire pits, and everyone would stop and ask for autographs. One afternoon, during one of our little stunts, the "real thing" showed-up, laughed at us, borrowed my guitar and gave a little impromptu concert for about 150 people, in near-freezing weather. Neat guy.

    Of course I grew up with John Denver, listening to his music as a teenager and still today at the age of 63. When my girls were young and we moved to my present home today, I was up on a ladder stenciling my living room walls. Quite industrious I was at the age of 40, straddling the very top of the ladder, walking the stencil across the top of the wall with John Denver blasting from my "boom box." A complaining daughter commented that I should listen to her music; she was tired of hearing John Denver. Momentarily, I stopped the music and explained to her that some day when she hears John Denver music she will think of me and all the important memories of her life growing up. She was 13 years old then. Soon when she'd turned 15, she reminded me of this comment; she'd listened and discovered how motivating and uplifting and paralyzingly captivating his message and music are. His connection with the goodness of life was and still is instantaneous.

    Hey Natalie... I'm 62 born in 1958. I enjoyed your story. In my teen years growing up in the 70s, music was the best. John Fogarty with CCR, Dire Straights, Bee Gees, Bob Seger with The Silver Bullet Band, are just a few of my favorites. John Denver though...WOW... nobody pulled at my heartstrings or gave me "feel-good" uplifting moments like he did. To this day I still go to him when I want music 🎶 corresponding to my mood. I don't think anyone could put music together better than John to fit a person's mood. Definitely a kindred spirit. I hope life is treating you good. Live long and prosper! (Spock) 🎶✌️
