Born and raised West Virginian, have never left for more than a week and I'll be buried here. This is by far my favorite rendition of Country Roads. Living here, every version that comes out is usually played to death. This is the one that I won't mind hearing constantly. The true spirit of these country roads and the total freedom they entail, what it means to be truly home to stay, was finally fully captured.

John Denver is sitting there with a smile on his face with your dog by his side both entranced by that soul touching rendition. John at peace with a commending twinkle in his eye while gently giving your passed pup pets filled with the love and glory of God. Giving him comfort until he’s by your side again. Or at least that’s what I believe. Well Done OA, definitely a rendition of this song that will carry on through time with the original. Perfection of simplicity. One instrument, one voice, one timeless soul, nothing else needed other than an ear. It was a privilege to have lent said ear.

Where did you grow up? I was born and raised in Tennessee, but my daddy grew up in Monongahela National Forest before it was a national forest, near Fenwick and Richwood, if you know where that is. I still have many cousins there. He often talked about the mountains when I was growing up and loved nothing better than taking me for a long drive, then a long walk among the hills along a creek banks.

[@tammypalmer9185]

@ I grew up in Fairmont WV… about 2 hours south of Pittsburgh PA. The mountains of WV are truly beautiful especially in the fall when the leaves change colors.
