Re: Remembering John Denver’s mother

I was never a groupie of anyone, not even the beatles, but one day in 1970 in a store I heard this beautiful voice singing this uplifting, melodic, soulfull song and I was hooked on John Denver. From then on every album, every movie, every television show or appearance was collected. If he appeared in concert anywhere within a few hundred miles I would go and I was grateful to have seen him in person four times. Friends and family, my now grown children, call me even today if anything of John Denver's is televised such as on public television broadcasts. I am a environmental accounting researcher and I think perhaps the awareness of the earth, the water, the sky, and the creatures in it started with the music and the heart of John Denver.

He had the truest, clearest voice and his duets with other stars including Placido Domingo showed the talent that we were so blessed to have heard. The words to his music could always make a day brighter and give me hope. I miss his presence yet today and will the rest of my life.

I have been a fan of John Denver since the sixties. I used to go on these type of sites a lot to read about him and his life. I will always love and remember his music and how wonderful it still makes me feel. Sunshine on my shoulders got me thru a rought spot in my life. I will be forever grateful to him. I miss and love you John. Forever.

Even these many years after his tragic death, I still feel a huge loss. It's Christmas Eve and I'm listening to "Christmas Like a Lullaby". It's just not Christmas without John Denver's music. I like to think that his spirit lives on in those of us who feel so connected to the ideas he cared about.

Paula was a great influence on me at DU in the time I was there as a grad student.
She was a fine director and I have no doubt her influence on students was profound. I haven't seen her since the early 80's yet she was constantly in my thoughts. A huge loss for the department at DU.

Even easier, DCPA released some tickets this week in the loge (2nd

at the box office and no service fees!

I haven't seen the play, either, but I'm
sure it is just more liberals making fun of good things and they
wouldn't think it was funny if it was about them. I don't need to see
things because I already know.

There is and was no one like John Denver. His music was so unique and so beautiful. I still love it so much even today! My biggest sadness is that I'll never hear him sing live again or hear a new creative song from him. I miss his music so much!

Hi Asd, Always to happy to have comments on the blog but this seems a little off point. Sure Mitt's a Mormon but how are you looping this into the musical (it's an arts blog, after all)? I find that this is just the sort of post that discourages others from chiming in in interesting ways.

Why do you repeatedly post the same two sentence articles over and over with different titles?

Lisa, you hit the nail on the head. "Cities of similar size" are not going to be robust with regard to theater (nor will they be world class). But every profession needs a farm team.

That's a rather harsh view of a place that has some quite interesting things going on onstage: Buntport. LIDA Project, Curious Theatre Company. I'm curious what cities of similar size are you comparing Denver with and what's your measure for the idea of "understanding?" You sound a bit bitter. I agree that local audiences could be more adventurous but a little more of a glimpse of your tastes would be helpful.

Denver is not a "robust theater town" by any stretch. But folks here will go see already-popular productions as they will accept anything that allows them to believe they live in a ."world class city." 'Book of Mormon' is wonderful but Denver should never be confused with a town that understands non-brand name anything.

If bigots go to be comfortable in their narrow-minded views, they're likely in for a surprise, Parker, Stone and Lopez's intention -- and triumph, according to most reviewers of the Broadway show -- is that they've created an irreverent work that honors the often crazed, often exuberant embrace of fantastical stories. In other words it pokes fun and celebrates faith.

I imagine a lot of Religious Bigots will go see a this play........just as a lot of Racial Bigots like plays that poke fun at Blacks and other "minorities"....and a lot of "Straights" like plays, TV shows, and movies where the "gay guy" is ALWAYS the one being made fun of.

Why is it that just because the show is about Mormonism, the name of the article is "MORMON theater review 3"? It's not "Mormon theater" just because the religion is the basis of the musical...

Re: Evergreen Players’ P.K. Worley dies at 78

In looking up something on the Evergreen Players this morning, I found this...how sad I am to see that PK has gone to the great theatre in the sky. When I was on the board (or stage) of the Evergreen Players, PK was always there with a smile and endless enthusiasm. He truly embodied the idea of collaboration and was one of the most pleasant people I could ever know. My heartfelt prayers to Donna and his family. Keith

I realize this may sound weird to some but I believe John Denver is still doing his music in heaven. Many years ago but after his death, I had a dream about him in which I was sitting on the ground, watching a concert. All of a sudden a guitar case was placed against my leg. I looked up and there was John Denver, looking intently down into my eyes. He then got up to the stage and performed. But it wasn't his concert--he was just one of many who were performing that day. The second time I saw him was also at a concert. I looked to my left, further down in my same row, and there he was listening to the music onstage. Both these dreams felt very real to me and I have never forgotten them.
