I first met John just before the album "Poems, Prayers and Promises" came out....a bunch of us went to a party with John and we passed the pipe around, it was so much fun getting to meet him and when the album came out I was first in line to get it...I can remember when I asked about it they said "John Denver who???" it didn't take long though and everyone knew who. This was back in the early 1970 or 71 sometime.
I followed his life and again in the late 80's I saw him again at a Houston concert, I took my 15 year old son to meet him and we got to go backstage to meet him....I loved that man and he made this world a better place, he is greatly missed...
