Who liked John Denver? I did. "Leaving On a Jet Plane" is my kareoke piece. Jeff Buckley and John Denver in the one year. bummer.
Hmm.......I like [in the present] John Denver a great deal; I don't know half as much of that kind of music as I know I, and everyone, should know, but yes it's a shame he's died. However, I wasn't too distraught seeing as I certainly don't remember him releasing anything during my lifetime, so it's not really a great personal loss. However, I did listen to some of his 'Greatest Hits' yesterday; 'Follow Me' is truly a wonderful song. And the duet he did with Placedo Domingo works frighteningly well. A bit of history from the Obituary I scanned in a free second today - Leaving on a Jet Plane was pretty much his first released material - it was soon covered by the bizzare trio of Peter, Paul and Mary [Haha! - Remember?], which gained him some reputation and his first album sold well as a result. Then his first big solo thing was This was all, what, early-mid70s? Jeff Buckley I know nothing about. He certainly sounds intersting, but then people are hardly likely to understate someone's talent after they died, are they? But is he basically country-influenced, only I take it more 'modern' than someone like Denver, or James Taylor, who is the other singer-songwriter who I know quite well......? * * * * * Andrew O'Sullivan aeos@dial.pipex.com http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/osullivan "It's one for the money, two for the money, three for the money." * * * * * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
