John Denver would have been 70 years old. "Eclipse" is one of those songs with an environmental theme that appeared on Denver's
Back Home Again album released in 1974. That same album included a number of other songs that became signature hits including "Annie's Song," "Thank God, I'm a Country Boy," "This Old Guitar," "Back Home Again," and "Sweet Surrender."
We have a friend that play in Denver's band for many years. He spoke at Denver's memorial service. He tours small venues playing Denver's songs for intimate crowds. The people in the crowd do most of the singing.
ReplyDeleteHe was a remarkable songwriter, telling simple stories to unforgettable melodies.
