Remembering John Denver on the 9th anniversary of his tragic death along the Monterey peninsula October 12, 2006.
I remember when I went there, about a year ago. It was so depressing, and
seeing his memorial… I was probably dying inside. Thank you for this
beautiful video, it refreshes my memory.?
Earthlinked and thinkfree63…I still go to Pacific Grove and leave stones
for people at the driftwood and collect sand and stones to send to people I
have met of FB. Just wanted to let you both know. Sandi (babushka6225)?
i cant wait to see ypu john denver my buddy by freind you made some awsome
songs
Beautiful song John Denver. Thank you!
Very well done. One of my favorite songs of his, as well. I always play it
on October 12. Thank you.
I was sitting in Robata’s in Carmel when I turned around & there was John
sitting & smiling. I said, “Hi John, how are you?” He just smiled with his
hat & round glasses on. His plane crashed in Pacific Grove shortly after
that.
I go to the beach every year in October & will continue to do so until I am
no more. The place is full of life; gulls & cormorants & pelicans fly thru
the surf, monarch butterflies flit about, deer & seal & otter show up. From
morning until dark I sit there. The sky changes. The tide goes in and out.
The waves change too and they sound like the earth breathing. Lately I have
been feeling drawn to the place. Perhaps I will make the drive next week.
Need to talk with the pelicans..and John.
Thank you, Eve … Thanks for taking me there once again. It means alot to
me… wish I could have been there with you, in this very special place. I
love the song you picked and the birds flying out across the water. Thanks
so much for sharing this with all John’s fans. Sweet Dreams & Peace Linda
He was able to live a life we could only dream of. How many times in my
life I’ve walked and driven along the Monterey bay coast and thought him so
far away. How we need him now to make global warming understandable to
people, to sho the earth care and empathize with the nature he spoke of and
sang to.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to a wonderful person. Miss you, John.
Thanks for mentioning where this song can be found and as a result,I
purchased JD’s Spirit CD yesterday. Yes, it’s hard to believe 10 years have
passed but it’s heartwarming to see how many still care!
there is no room ortime for second guessing. 5) do NOT fly an airplane that
has a fuel switch in back of the seat. That is absolutely nuts. I cant even
believe this happened, its almost like he wanted to die. sorry i meant to
say make sure all the switches are within arms reach and in front of
you.you do not have the time to turn around and divert your attention off
the plane. just myopinion but i think these kind of planes need to be
banned.

It was a promise made between he and I, on the day he died – that I kept to
myself. I am sure he would have approved!!;-) I just kept humming — “Inch
by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow…” (The Garden Song) and
seedling number 5,000 was planted on August 1, 2007. I then told the manger
why I did this volunteer work. He bought a John Denver CD! Another JD fan
was born — one tiny seedling at a time!! Thank You and Bless You for the
stone! Again, I am sure he would approve!!
This is beautiful!Today it is 10 years since we lost him.I never remember
the exact day for some reason,even though it corresponds w/my wedding
anniversary.I sent my husband an ecard from yahoo that had Annies Song on
it this morning and it triggered the memery and led me here.I’m glad it did.
Sandi, Either will be fine, it’s the intention that counts. Thanks!
There is something amazing about spirit-connected people. They seem to come
into our world, drop beautiful gifts and wisdom and then move on. I
remember that day when we recorded this. An inspiring place, as is the
Maroon Bells, all of Alaska, the fjords of Norway and so many other natural
places.
We have just returned from Pacific Grove. Every moment was magical. Placed
the rock as requested on his Birthday. The magic comes from feeling life
from the heart. This is the gift John gave us.
I was in a front row seat at the Durngate Theatre in Northampton U.K. when
John sang this song live. It truly stands in my memory as one of the most
beautiful times of my life.
