John Denver PBS Special

John Denver is singing "Sunshine on my Shoulders" right now on a PBS show, and I am crying. I am crying for the beauty of this music and and the loss of this great talent. His death in his small glider plane a number of years ago seems like such a waste. I know he was doing what he wanted to do, but still such a waste. This song, as well as Country Roads, Rocky Mountain High, and Calypso, holds such meaning for me. So many memories--the music connects to my soul. It is amazing too how far ahead of his time he was pertaining to environmental issues.
