I knew John back in the 1970s. I played five years in his road band during the summer. His fiddle player, John Summers, actually wrote this song. At first, as in this recording, Summers was on the fiddle. However, Summers taught Denver to play this on the fiddle and he did it for years. I miss John so much since he died in 1997. I'll never forget him.

What a wonderful experience! I know that it was the live version of this song (from "An Evening with John Denver") that went to #1, and I can't hear any version of this song without also "hearing" in my head John saying, from right after the end of the live version, "John Summers played the fiddle, and he wrote that song!" (I do remember seeing John on TV, playing the fiddle on this himself; pretty credibly, too!)

The songs not just about the country life. It's about the attitude of being thankful for the blessings we have. Enough food for our needs, honest work ethic, and pride and love for our family. No matter where you live, if you have those things you are blessed.

Your story really intersects with John Denver's. His father was an Air Force officer whose reputation was on the same par as Chuck Yaeger. After retirement John bought a jet & talked his Dad into flying John on tour His father taught John to fly during that time, they also patched up their rocky relationship during those long flights together. John's performance of For You during the Wildlife concert highlights the strength & clarity of his beautiful singing voice.

My dad was friends with John's father, Henry John Deutschendorf. They were stationed together at Walker AFB in Roswell, New Mexico. John and I were both born there. When I graduated high school in 1973, I got to play guitar with John's road band. We called ourselves "Johnny and the Sharks." I miss him so much.

I remember when John wrote this song. He went out with Cousteau on "Calypso" and when he came back he said he had written a chorus that he wanted to turn into a song. I was in his road band at the time. He got in his four-wheeler and took off into the mountains. A couple of hours later, he came screaming back to the ranch yelling, "I got it! I got it!" We went into his home studio and recorded a rough version of it and it was wonderful! I miss him so much.

@@AngB517 It's kind of a shame that he didn't choose the live version of this song, from "An Evening With John Denver", for this reaction, since that's the version that actually hit #1. (When it comes to "Leavin' on a Jet Plane", I actually really like his album version of that. But no live version from John is ever bad.) "Country music" as an institution has always seemed very touchy about what to include, and what not to include. It'd be really interesting sometime to see a documentary on it, specifically examining the evolution of it as a music industry, and how it navigated the inclusion - or not - of various related types of music like bluegrass and folk. I feel like the argument about whether John Denver was a country star is more informed by weird little details of the industry's politics in the 60s and 70s, rather than actually just evaluating the music itself. That is, because he got his start in "folk" with the New Christy Minstrels, folks who considered the "heart of country music" to be Nashville wouldn't include him because he didn't follow "the right path". But then you have him doing a lot of songs that are just undeniably country songs (from this, and Grandma's Feather Bed, and Back Home Again; etc.). I thought it was really interesting in 2017 when the Country Music Awards were celebrating their 50th anniversary, that the big "Forever Country" music video they did ("Artists of Then, Now & Forever") was a medley that started off with "Take me Home, Country Roads", went on to Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again", and ended with Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You". Like... at least two of those choices are kind of iconoclastic, in retrospect. But, I guess you could equally say that it just took time for the country music industry to come around on some things they kicked up a fuss about at the time. Like you, I don't really care about genre, and will go all over the map finding what I like. This subject just interests me because of the way it is entwined in the story of John Denver's career. It doesn't matter all that much today, and thus, you can look back on it and know that it really shouldn't have mattered then, either.

They had a rock house band named Wild Country. They played mostly rock with some country mixed in. (They would later change their name to Alabama and became mega country stars. Check them out sometime.) They played for tips. Every time they played Thank God I'm a Country Boy or Elton John's Philadelphia Freedom, a very scantily clad go-go dancer would come out and dance. Needless to say, I heard each of those songs about 10 times each!! Sweet memories!!
