For the last 4 years, a group of musicians who worked with John Denver, either on stage or in the recording studio, have gathered at the historic Wheeler Opera House in Aspen to remember John on the anniversary of his death, to sing his music, tells stories and have a great time together. I have been privileged to be a part of each of these concerts. It is a highlight of my year to once again play John's music with all these talented musicians. I thank Kenn Roberts and Kris (KO) O'Connor for keeping this event going and inviting me to participate.
