I have just spent an hour of pure magic!

I don't normally buy 'music' DVDs - apart from opera or ballet - but one artist whose talent I have always admired is John Denver - so - when I came across this DVD - I pounced:-

"John Denver - a Portrait" - is narrated by the man himself and, in a quiet modest way, he explains how some of his most poplar songs came to be written. The story is interspersed with clips from concerts taken over many years - and it is just magical.

I have laughed, cried, felt joy, enchantment and, yes, shame, over the last hour. I am so glad I found this DVD and will treasure it. God Bless John Denver.

I used to love JD back in the 60's and had lots of his records which I played on an old second hand record player. I think they are still in the loft somewhere .

It was so sad he died the way he did...

Bought a JD cd recently and have watched interesting documentaries about him. He was soooo talented.

This is one of my favourites - the lyrics are so simple and very beautiful!
