SINGER/SONGWRITER ALAN CHERRY TO SING JOHN DENVER
TRIBUTE SONG IN AUSTRALIA AND USA

                   By Christine Egli, President / Editor
                   John Denver Music Appreciation Society

     I've recently spoken to Alan Cherry - singer/songwriter
of the beautiful John Denver tribute song "Kindred Spirit" -
and not only is he singing this beautiful song at the
Victorian and Australian Country Music Awards, in Tamworth
(NSW) next January, he will also be singing it at the BUNYIP
Country Festival in Victoria in February, and at the John
Denver Memorial Event in Aspen, Colorado next October.
However, Alan hopes that he can also sing for us at a future
JDMAS gathering here in Australia sometime next year. Alan
kindly sent me a cd of the song "Kindred Spirit", and he truly
has captured the spirit of John in the music and the words.
Alan's beautiful tenor voice and his ability as a songwriter,
along with wonderful instrumental and acoustic music, all
combine to make this a very special John Denver Tribute cd.
The cover and cd artwork with sunset and eagle, and Alan's
notes about the cd are really lovely too.
     Here's a paragraph from Alan's biography:

     "John Denver has been a great inspiration to Alan,
     and he sings many of his songs. Alan has been writing
     songs for many years and feels now it is time to write
     and record his own experiences of life as the song a
     True Blue Aussie battler from the bush. Alan's latest
     song "Kindred Spirit" is a tribute to a man he admired
     so much as a performer, songwriter, humanitarian and
     conservationist - John Denver."
