| Dear Mr Sommers, I'm sorry to inform you that the music of "Thank god I'm a countryboy" is abused by a Neo-nazi female singer. The website where you can buy her CD is packed with neo-nazi music. To hear her song check the link below: http://www.unseremusik.de/audio/05%20-%20Annett%20-%20Thors%20Enkel.mp3 Sincerly, William Kersten |

I would leave my email above but I do not like to have email addresses available openly on the internet (either). I have emailed a copy of the OBIT to Mack & Rachel B, Chris N, Pete H, Bill D and Denny B. It was in the Denver Post today (21 Jan 10). Hope you are well - heard that you had some health problems recently - last saw you in Oct 08 at your favorite little breakfast place on Main in Aspen. JEB |

| It is so good to see you going strong, John! I was fortunate enough to get to hear the Bluegrass Salad Boys a lot in the mid seventies as I was a waitress at Don Giovanni's, where they played every Sunday night. If I wasn't waiting tables, they let me sit in with them on the spoons! Those were some really fun times. What a great music scene to get to witness. I was even there when JD came in to jam with the Salad Boys--unforgettable experience. Thanks for the memories!! |

| Hello John, I´m not sure if I should place this comment here in your guestbook. But you should know that at last in the late 1970th John Denver animated me to learn Acoustic-Guitar, and you are to be "blamed" that I get the strong wish to learn the 5-String-Banjo-Playing, cause I always regard & respect you as a real great musician. So I decide to write this little piece of message here into this page :) With your great experience in Country-Folk-Western-Music I have the hope that perhaps you can give me a small advice how to find somebody trustable (even preferably in Germany?) who could be interested in producing and marketing my own written songs. I recorded them in my little homestudio and already put them into youtube as uncommercial videofiles (the quality could be better, but the compression of the files unfortunately made it worser). Here are Links to find some of these songs: 1. Green Mountain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vLUSEonkBg; 2. Dancing with the Ingalls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjqOrXy0Dtk 3. Ghost Town Creek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2juUjHLXpz0 4. I´ve believed in life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcwiStWWL-U 5. James Younger Gang: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDCQ2_jZ1PQ 6. Outlaws: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUaPEFun8Cw 7. Riding Westwards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M2YfIOtf90 I really hope it´s ok and you are not angry about my booking. But if you are please delete this completely notice here again. I wish to you that you still have a healthy and long life and that you could go on making wonderful music for all of us :) With regards Olaf |

| Hi John, I saw you and the band during the art show in Redstone. It was great show other than the two drinking dancers that almost fell into the band. My sister lives in Redstone and I was visiting from Minnesota. I read your bio; did you know the moose head from the Blue Moose saloon is hanging in Tiffany's antique shop in Redstone? I wish I could move to Colorado, it's amazing. Hope to see you and the band next year! |

| Hi John, I was at the John Denver Tribute concert at Red Rocks on Saturday night with my sons. It was their first Red Rocks experience and it was incredible. I've never seen Red Rocks so packed! My first Red Rocks concert was 35 years ago, 1974, John Denver. I was two and I remember sitting near the top of the ampitheater, in the dark, watching the band on stage way down below and the lights of Denver come on beyond the stage. I grew up with this music and it means so much to me. Thank you. I sure hope you all play Red Rocks again next summer because I've told everyone how wonderful the concert was and how they need to see it next year! Take care, Julie |

| Hi John, I recently googled Jan- We've been out of touch for 30 years or so- will soon talk on the phone. BOY OH BOY- So many great memories of the Liberty days for me. I'm out here living among the real cowboys and ranchers and getting to understand them alot better- it is a very gratifying experience, after doing my bead and leatherwork all these years, it being Western in style-to now learn the real nitty gritty of their lives. I find that they have a wonderful sweetness inside. I found you by following links- Jan, J.D., Bobby Mason- to you. Great to see your pictures and to see that you are doing so well. I will be listening to you at the Maybell Library soon- I've always thought that you were the best fiddle player I ever heard. Fond memories, Skip |

| Hi John, We hope you are all well. We are enjoying our CD "Heart of the Rockies" and Chad has most of it memorized. He really likes "Mind Your Own Business". If all things work out, Chad will be attending a week of camp at "Challenge Aspen". Mack and Rachel volunteered at the music and arts week last year and feel it would be a great experience for Chad. We will be in your area from July 18th until at least the 26th. We are hoping there will be opportunities to hear you all sing as well as visit. This is a huge adventure for us! Please keep us posted about your schedule. Greet Stephanie, Twerp, Cash, Randy and anyone else!! Affectionately, Vickie and Chad |

| Hello John, first I like to excuse my worse "School-English", but I hope, you will understand ;) In the end of the 70th (when I was a young boy of 17) I became a great John Denver-Fan like so many other people at that time. I played Guitar and we all love to sing his songs at every nice romantic party. But one day I get this album called "Back home again"... I loved all the songs on it, they all were so great ones! But one song became my favourite till today. And this song is "Matthew". I loved the song because of the music in it... the music set by the 5-string-banjo. And then I wanted to know, which guy made this fabulous settings and tunes with the banjo - and wrote with it song-history in small 3:41 minutes. Today I know, who it was (thank God, there´s the internet ;)) - and I tell you something, John: You are the reason for that I learned to play 5-String-Banjo...which I love today! And all cause of that great song - ABSOLUTELY GREAT SONG!:) And at last I just have one little question or request. Is it possible to get the real notation of what you virtously played on banjo in Matthew? If not, don´t bother - it´s all ok ;) So thank you one more time for your wonderful tune-ideas that made this song to what he really is: perfect! Best wishes from Germany, Olaf |

| Hi John, Don't know whether you will have time in your busy schedule. Been a John Denver fan since I can't remember. One of my favourites albums is " An Evening with John Denver". Playing with the man must have been quite an experience. As I understand the show was recorded by ABC Television and won an Emmy Award in 1975. I know of a lot of people that would "die" for a copy of the show. Was it ever release to the public? if not, I can guarantee that lots of John Denver fans worlwide would readily buy it if it was ever released on DVD. Perhaps through your connections you could find out and make lots of people happy. I know John would want this, specially to mark the 10th anniversary of his departure. I guess I would rather be in Colorado watching you and the others remembering John this October. I am originally from Spain, I saw some pictures of members of John Denver Fan Club in Spain meeting with you in Aspen. I have just joined the "Friends of John Denver Club" in the UK. I am hoping to sing and play some of John's songs on a "John Denver Day" in December. I will play Thank God I'm a Country Boy" Fancy joining in on the fiddle? Anyway take good care of yourself and God Bless Joe |

Took me a while to find and process them and I will leave LINKS to said photos at the end. I don't remember all of the names; but there was 'Froggy', Jimmy, Neal and the gang at Aspen Highlands. That was a pretty special and exciting season; what with John Denver showing up and The Nitty, Gritty Dirt Band and all. My story is similar to yours, except I didn't have the talent to make it in the mountains. Naval Aviator, just off Active Duty, looking for an airline job in a Nixon 'wage & price control' world. My original job with UAL in DEN was withdrawn and the 450 guys furloughed didn't get hired back until '78. I gravitated to San Diego when the snow melted in '71 and joined the Reserves, from which I retired 22 years later. Interviewed with PSA, AirCal, Continental & Western between '72 & '75 . .and was lucky enough to have a 'contact' in my Reserve squadron who knew the President of Federal Express. I got my Falcon Type Rating in the summer of '75, went back to San Diego and took a job as a part time Courier. That gave the 'in' needed and I was hired as the 200th pilot at what became FedEx. I remember riding a chair up with you on one of the last ski runs before the snow melted and you told me you had taken a summer job at the top of the ski lift so you could practice picking the banjo. That obviously worked out for you . Maybe you remember some of these folks?: http://www.farm-boy-navy-pilot-airline-captain.com/aspenbargang.jpg, http://www.farm-boy-navy-pilot-airline-captain.com/drewnaspenbabes.jpg, http://www.farm-boy-navy-pilot-airline-captain.com/jimmynneil.jpg, http://www.farm-boy-navy-pilot-airline-captain.com/johnsommers71.jpg, http://www.farm-boy-navy-pilot-airline-captain.com/highlandsgang.jpg, http://www.farm-boy-navy-pilot-airline-captain.com/highlandsgang2.jpg, http://www.farm-boy-navy-pilot-airline-captain.com/highlandsgang3.jpg, http://www.farm-boy-navy-pilot-airline-captain.com/highlandsgang4.jpg |
