I couldn't stand Wham, but when I heard Freedom, and seen the video from George Michael I loved it. Denver had talent! I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Immediately listen to all of the records of Merle Haggard, then go drink a fifth of Wild Turkey, and get in a fistfight. You might can still pull out of it, Lol. Member - FTA

So in the eyes of many he was a light weight but there were "heavy" purchases of his music for many decades. Bryce

One of the guys at boys state came up on the stage with his guitar and sang Country Roads. He just nailed it. The place almost turned into a riot of I would say 1,000 kids wanting nothing more than to go home. I will never forget it. I sure wanted to go home after that song. It took a lot to get those young men back under control.

The kind of people we are, we live life to the full, work hard, feel deeply in the details . For myself, a most loved song that rings into my heart , is from Alison Krauss and John Waite, and the exquisite , beautiful way it was presented to me . Once in a lifetime ....to grasp in deepest reverence and appreciation . Life is good . http://www.illustrationsinmotion.com/index.html
