The man had his problems. I've been sitting here listening to his songs. Truly a gift from God. That man had talent, I'm sorry he isn't here to bring us all the joy of his voice and music.

Oddly, I find his voice almost haunting, almost like he is still with us. He has that legacy in his voice and music. It always sounds like we are sitting around a campfire and the dude across the fire has a guitar .

Saw him in concert one time. He was the first person on the stage and the last one to leave. His band took a break but kept right on playing and singing. One heck of a good concert!

I went to his concert in Lincoln Nebr. It was one of the first concerts ever in the Bob Devaney sports center. The seats were no installed yet. You just sat on the cement …. like a bleacher. Fire marshalls were all over making people keep the isles open. Later they said it was the most people that will ever see a concert there because with no seating more fit in. John Denver came out first and let his band have a break mid concert, and then he was the last to leave. I think it was about a two and one half hours.... maybe a little more.... concert. This was in the late 70's.

He may or may not have been a homo , but he was an advocate and well liked in the gay community .

I like his songs , his personnel life is his ,too many singers have great songs, but look at there personnel life it make you wonder of who they really are. Like stated he had his problems.I remember when they say when he died. It happened to others but not get as notice.

He may or may not have been a homo , but he was an advocate and well liked in the gay community . So ? That made him less of a musician? P
