Like the monarchs, fifteen of us dedicated fans/friends of John Denver found ourselves, on this tenth anniversary of his passing, drawn by our individual internal guidance system to pay tribute to what we affectionately call "John Denver's beach" at the corner of Ocean View Blvd. and Acropolis St. in Pacific Grove, CA. There were no planned announcements, no pre-organized activities, but we were determined to reverently honor the time and day of John's passing. Some came from the local area, while others traveled from as far as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona, Utah and Southern California. Some could only stay for a short time, some arrived at the site later than 6 pm, after driving all day, and some of us had "hung out" at the site all day. I have gone enough years to have seen the phenomenon repeatedly. People come, some not even knowing whether they will be the only ones. To our delight and wonder, we each discover a family and community of kindred spirits, deeply touched by John's music. The day had periods of heavy raining, but by 4 pm, it had lightened to a mist, and by 5 pm the precipitation had stopped, while dramatic clouds still caressed the sky and sea. To honor John, we listened to his music, thanks to two who had brought their ipods and speakers, and then we joined hands in a moment of silence. This was followed by heartfelt sharing about how John and his music touched our lives. Many of us lingered long after the simple remembrance ceremony to make or renew connections. This is another gift we have gotten from John.

One usher admitted quietly to closing the balcony to give the main floor seating area a fuller feel, and some remarked that attendance was light because most of the participants weren't expected to hit town until the next day. Thursday, at 8 pm on October 10, began the first, and possibly only production of "John Denver's Storytellers Unplugged," a gathering of former band members, friends and helpers to tell tales and share memories about the man adored by so many both before and after he died in a 1997 plane crash. It was the opening night of John Denver Week, five days of events celebrating the life of Aspen's most famous son, organized by his former personal manager, Barney Wyckoff. Houston Cowan of Challenge Aspen, a nonprofit group helping the disabled, and the beneficiary of the night's proceeds, took the stage first. He talked, in part, of the many John Denver-related events held in the decade since the singer died, and the $1.5 million he said has been raised at those events over the years to benefit Challenge Aspen. A little while later, Denny Brooks, one of Denver's managers in the later years of his career, auctioned off a John Denver night for up to 20 people, to feature wine provided by Denver crony Mickey Smith, music by former Denver band members John Sommers and Jim Horn, and a meal prepared by a celebrated chef. The evening of fun went to part-time Aspenite Donna Harper, for $10,000, but only after wine specialist Smith chimed in and forced the bidding higher. The night was billed as a no-holds-barred look at the man behind the myth, but it fell short of the mark. People were hoping for high-potency tales of Denver's hidden home-boy rep as a pot-smoking partier of Bacchanalian appetites, ribald stories about debauchery and high-jinks on the road, perhaps even a few revelations about some of the complexities and contradictions that made his time here so interesting. Instead, attendees were treated to videos, reminiscences and songs that portrayed John Denver's much-remarked role as an environmentally oriented bard, a singer of fine ballads whose voice could transport a listener to another world entirely, an eager and enthusiastic student making his way through the school of life. It was all high-minded and inspirational, if not as "unplugged" as some would have liked. To be sure, there were details that many had never heard, tucked into a series of sometimes hilariously entertaining stories, and the camaraderie among the storytellers was heartening. Denver's place in history took on an added coat of glitter and glue, and every now and then a novel detail would add an intriguing facet to the public persona. And, of course, every time that soaring tenor of his rose above the crowd, hairs stood up on the back of my neck. The myth remains intact and untarnished. <*> <*> <*> <*> <*> <*> <*> <*> =========================== TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY EVENTS =========================== Review of the John Denver Tribute Concert October 13, 2007 Wheeler Opera House Aspen, Colorado A night to remember... It was Saturday night at the Wheeler; I arrived amongst many of John's fans from young to old with a common thread that brought all us together for a glorious night to celebrate the life and music of John Denver. The night opened with a solo by Chris Nole with John singing vocals, the spot light emitted a low glow focusing on John's Old Guitar alongside a baguette of wild flowers that was center stage for the whole performance. John's voice was resonating throughout the theater, I had my eyes closed and felt his presence with the movement or the lyrics. The band came on for a full round of songs that John has recorded, loved. There were performances by Jim Salestrom, Mack Bailey, and Denny Brooks. Each band member had a solo throughout the night. During the intermission I was escorted back stage to be introduced to John's family, friends and band members, shortly thereafter the second half got underway. During the second half each song had a corresponding video in the back ground that portrayed John sharing his part. The songs that were performed were from different musical phases throughout John's life and career...environmental issues to the space program. The night closed with a gala performance with audience participation with "Take Me Home, Country Roads." Everyone was singing and swaying with the music. Later on that night I joined the band and John's family, friends and close business associates at the Antler Bar in the Hotel Jerome. The highlight of the night was when Erma told me that John was inducted into Germany's Music Hall of fame for a Life Time Achievement Award. I concluded my conversation with her by telling her that John's music and philosophy was a real inspiration throughout my life. I was moved in whole to be a part of this tribute only because this is the last one. I can only hope if you had the opportunity to attend one of these performances you felt the same way as me. This concert was made possible by Challenge Aspen helping people overcome their disabilities and lead a productive healthy life. Jeff Pattek Boca Raton, Fl < * > < * > < * > < * > < * > "Fans Mark John Denver's Death" Hundreds gathering in Aspen to celebrate singer's memory Scott Condon Aspen Times October 12, 2007 Hundreds of John Denver fans are converging on Aspen Friday to mark the 10th anniversary of the singer's death. "The gathering will be a joyous time, celebrating Denver's special talents and ability to connect with people," said Deborah Perry, an organizer of some of the events and co-administrator of a website for a group called The World Family of John Denver. "It's a happy time. We're not mourning his loss anymore," said Perry, who came to Aspen this week from Elgin, Ill. She has marked the anniversary of Denver's death in Aspen each year with her husband, Keith. In fact, they renewed their vows three years ago at the event. During the first few years of the Aspen event, she said, "emotions were still raw." Denver died Oct. 12, 1997, when the home-built, single-engine fiberglass airplane he was piloting crashed into Monterey Bay, California, while he was practicing touch-and-go landings. Denver, whose given name was Henry John Deutschendorf, was 53 years old. Denver's name always will be linked with Aspen. "He fell in love with the town during a performance in 1968, moved here in 1969, and picked land for a home the following year," his brother, Ron Deutschendorf, said Thursday. He also was a fixture around town. Locals could rub elbows with him at the old Flying Dog Brew Pub, take in his catchy pop tunes and beautiful spiritual songs at an occasional benefit concert, and get invigorated by his optimism for humankind as a host of the Windstar Foundation's "Choices for the Future" Symposium. Stunned Roaring Fork Valley residents and visitors held a candlelight vigil in Aspen the weekend he died. A memorial service attracted 2,100 mourners in Aurora on the weekend after he died, and a similar-sized crowd gathered at Aspen Meadows for another memorial. One fan was so moved by Denver's accomplishments that he asked the Aspen City Council to change the name of Main Street to John Denver Way. That didn't happen, but Aspen established the John Denver Sanctuary in summer 1998 along the Roaring Fork River near Rio Grande Park to honor the man. The sanctuary is visited by thousands of people year round, especially on and around the anniversary of his death. Denver was honored by Colorado legislators earlier this year when they passed a resolution making his hit "Rocky Mountain High" a second state song. The senate voted 26-8 to designate it the co-state song while the house voted 50-11 in favor. Some opponents objected that the song allegedly had pot references. State Sen. Bob Hagedorn said when he suggested the idea that he wanted to honor "a great Colorado citizen." "It seemed fitting that on the 10th anniversary of his untimely death, John Denver's most recognized song should be his adopted state's co-state song," Hagedorn, a Denver Democrat, said in an e-mail interview Thursday. "Interestingly, one might say that John Denver was 'green' before it was popular to be green. I personally have liked the environment themed songs he recorded later in his career. On the 10th anniversary of his death, the environment is finally on folks' political agendas, including Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter's." Denver had 14 gold and eight platinum albums. In addition to "Rocky Mountain High," his songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders" were mega-hits. But Denver's legacy goes beyond songs that make you smile. He sang about peace and backed the words with concerts in Russia as the Cold War was coming to an end. He sang about personal responsibility to environmental sustainability and established the Windstar Foundation in Old Snowmass. "John really was an environmentalist before there was a word for that," said Ron Deutschendorf, Denver's brother. Deutschendorf, the president of the Windstar Foundation, said he believes his brother will ultimately be best remembered for his environmental activism and efforts to promote peace. "I think his music will lead you there," he said. "His fans and friends get involved in his music because it is universal. Everybody around the world can relate to it." Deborah Perry can testify to that. Denver's legacy is still enough to attract hundreds of people like her to Aspen each year at this time to celebrate his accomplishments. "We've built a lot of relationships with people from all over the world," Perry said. < * > < * > < * > "John Denver's Message, Music Lives On" Vail Daily Leslie Brefeld Vail, CO, October 11, 2007 Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. began using the stage name of John Denver in the 1960s, adopting the designation of his favorite city. In March of 2007, the city of Denver returned the sentiment by making "Rocky Mountain High" its second state song. Ten years after his death, the spirit of the man who embraced nature in song and politics still reverberates in our culture. Denver co-created the Windstar Foundation, which works for environmental awareness, in 1976. It formerly hosted an annual New Choices for Your Future Symposium. According to a story by the Aspen Times, the nonprofit went dormant after the singer's death in 1997, but has begun to take steps toward being a visible entity again. Denver's brother Ron Deutschendorf is raising funds through an early release to members of a recording of a song Denver sang in Russia. The foundation is also hosting tribute shows this weekend featuring members of Denver's band. The Vail Valley recently received a visit by Christopher Canyon, writer of a children's book series based on the lyrics of John Denver. And as they have done every year since his death, John Denver's former bandmates are performing a special set of shows at the Aspen Wheeler House this weekend, including three concerts and a storytelling session. "He made a real impact on my life," former Breckenridge resident singer and songwriter Jim Salestrom said. "He had a good message about loving each other and the environment, and taking care of each other." Salestrom played with Denver's band and recorded an album with him in 1991. Salestrom was just 16 when he first met the legendary singer, who was then 28. Salestrom had traveled from Nebraska to help work the sound system for Denver's first-ever concert at Red Rocks, and ended up being the musician's personal assistant for the day. In 2007 he played "Rocky Mountain High" at the Capital as state senators and members of the Colorado House voted for the song. "It's been 10 years he's been gone, and we just hope and want to make sure that his music doesn't lose its spark," said Salestrom, who will be at the 10th annual Tribute to John Denver concerts in Aspen. "I want my children to learn 'Country Roads' ... I think it's important for people to hear his music." John Adams, a John Denver tribute artist who recently moved to Silverthorne from the Aspen area, said he took as much away from his music as he did from his humanitarian work. "The most wonderful thing about him was he was such a down-to-earth person," Adams said. The Dutch native will perform tribute shows this weekend in Aspen. Adams first met Denver on a TV special in Holland. Adams was preparing to sing one of Denver's songs, when the songwriter himself showed up as a surprise to Adams and sang "Whispering Jessie" along with him. In the years that followed, Adams said he was always invited backstage when Denver performed in Holland. He spoke about Denver's political presence, citing his work with the government on fighting hunger, the Plant-It 2000 project and his work to conserve wild places. He also remembered when he heard about Denver's passing on the BBC. "It was all over the radio; he was a major popular artist in England. I made a promise to keep his music alive as long as I can, and that's what I do." ======================================= J O H N D E N V E R N O T E S ======================================= IN MEMORY OF JOHN DENVER: OCTOBER 12, 2007 As we remember John on this day, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

The 2 cd set is comprised of 2 hours of music, from the singer's historic 1985 tour of the former Soviet Union, which has never been released to the public. The album was produced by Denver's friend, seven-time Grammy Award-winner Roger Nichols. Denver performed 11 concerts at various venues throughout the Soviet Union and each performance was recorded on a custom digital recorder. The recordings were rediscovered in 2002 and have been restored, remixed and mastered for the new cd set. Many of Denver's greatest hits are on the album, along with some lesser-known gems. A highlight is the singer performing "Annie's Song" in Russian. The cd set was released by AAO Music, Inc. in conjunction with John's brother, Ron Deutschendorf, the record label said. "It is always an exciting experience to take part in the production of what will be a classic album," said Peter Keys, chairman of AAO Music. "This record showcases John's tremendous talent, and it is an honor for AAO Music to take part in this album." < * > < * > < * > < * > < * > Review of the CD by Kathy Lill < k.lill at cox.net > I bought the new cd "John Denver - Live in the USSR" while in Aspen. Ron told us we would be thrilled with the clarity of this concert cd. boy was he ever right! Quoting from the cd sleeve: "This cd captures one of the best concerts ever sung by John. John's voice was in top form during this tour. Recorded digitally by Roger Nichols, the clarity of the sound makes you almost feel as if John is sitting right next to you." I listened to the entire two cd concert after returning from Aspen and it did seem as if John was right there in the room singing! The Russian audience warms up to the music as the concert progresses and you can tell they love John! I cried when John started singing "Annie's Song" in Russian. It just really touched me that he tried to do so much good in the world and this history making concert was a testament to that. All of you will love this cd. ================================================= JOHN DENVER W A N T A D S / F O R S A L E ================================================= 2008 Color John Denver Calendars are still available.
