The reason for this long absence was that the original
orchestration parts had all been destroyed after John’s death in 1997. The only
remaining parts left were the original composer scores, written in pencil and
safely kept in a vault in
Not
all is lost! When the acclaimed John Denver tribute artist Jim Curry learned
that the scores had been destroyed he embarked on a project together with Lee
Holdridge that would take nearly eight months. Curry, whose voice was heard in
the CBS-TV movie “Take Me Home: The John Denver Story,” has performed Denver’s
music in sold out shows throughout the country and has emerged as today’s top
performer of Denver’s vast legacy of multi-platinum hits. To fulfill his desire
for John’s music to live again in a symphony performance, Jim had commissioned
the orchestra parts to be meticulously extracted from the penciled originals and
readied for performance this April 17th 2009 in a world premiere with the Kansas
City Symphony.

Springtime In April
by Emily M.
Parris
April
is the month of springtime
With
fresh spring rain in the air
Tulips
waving in the breeze
Nature
springing to life everywhere
April
is the month of daisies,
Of
lilies and the daffodil
As
the vibrant green of the grass
Spreads
out over every hill
In
April the trees turn to green
As
each bud begins to bloom
The
world is soft and fragrant
With
springtime's sweet perfume

“New”
John Denver DVD
A ‘new” import John Denver DVD recently was
released
Called
“John Denver: An Intimate Performance.” However, this
DVD
is not actually new at all. It is actually “The Wildlife
Concert”. I wanted to clarify this with club members so
they
Don’t
mistakenly buy it thinking it is something they don’t
Already
have.

John
was mentioned in an article called “Spirituality in Pop Music”
by
Kevin
Sedelmeier at www.Examiner.com
“All This Joy - John
Denver: This hidden gem is found on a lesser known Denver album called Higher Ground released after he
left RCA. It tugs at your heartstrings. The sorrow and joy of life intertwined
in its simple yet effective lyrics. For younger people, if you even know who
John Denver is, he deserves more credit than many smarmy music critics want to
give him. He's much more than the guy in Oh God! or the ol' country
boy.”
