John Denver (31 De Diciembre, 1943 - 12 De Octubre, 1997), Nacido Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., Fue Un Cantante, Compositor, Músico Y Actor Americano John Denver (31 de diciembre, 1943 - 12 de octubre, 1997), nacido Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., fue un cantante, compositor, músico y actor americano. Denver murió con 53 años de edad en la costa de Monterey, California cuando pilotaba un Rutan Long-EZ, un avión experimental de fibra de vidrio Primeros años. John Denver nació en Roswell, Nuevo México. Su padre, Henry Deutschendorf, Sr., era oficial de las fuerzas aéreas e instructor de vuelo. Denver nació cuando su padre estaba en el Roswell Army Air Field. Creció en numerosas bases del sudoeste americano. Denver entró en el instituto en Fort Worth, Texas y más tarde en el Texas Tech donde fue miembro de la fraternidad Delta Tau Delta. Su introducción en el mundo de la música llegó a la edad de doce años cuando su abuela le regaló una guitarra acústica 1910 Gibson. Empezó a actuar en clubs locales cuando aún estaba en la universidad. En 1964 abandonó la universidad y se mudó a Los Ángeles, California para ingresar en el Chad Mitchell Trio, un grupo folk. Dejó el grupo, por entonces conocido como Denver, Boise y Johnson, en 1969 para empezar una carrera en solitario. Este mismo año lanzó su primer LP, Rhymes and reasons. Durante los cuatro años siguientes, álbumes como Whose Garden Was This, Take Me to Tomorrow y Poems, Prayers and Promises se estableció como una estrella de la canción americana popular. Carrera .Denver tenía una exitosa carrera como cantante y compositor, y una carrera menor como actor -su película más notable, hecha en 1977, fue Oh, God!. En 1994 escribió una autobiografía titulada Take me home. Se mudó a Aspen, Colorado persiguiendo su primer éxito en solitario con Leaving on a Jet Plane. Denver no sólo es conocido como cantante, lo es por su labor humanitaria. Trabajó extensamente en proyectos de conservación y ayudó a crear el Arctic National Wildlife Refuge en Alaska. También fundó su propio grupo ecologista llamado Windstar Foundation. Denver tuvo también mucho interés en las causas y las soluciones del hambre, y visitó África durante los 80 para ser testigo de primera mano del sufrimiento causado por el hambre y también para trabajar con los líderes africanos detrás de una solución. Denver testificó junto a Frank Zappa y Dee Snider en un asunto de la censura en una audiencia de la PMRC en 1985. Después de una agradable experiencia en The Muppet Show, grabó otros dos especiales con muñecos: John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together (1979) y John Denver and the Muppets: Rocky Mountain Holiday (1982). Desafiando todas las etiquetas convencionales, John Denver ocupó un singular lugar en la música americana: un compositor cuyo inmenso trabajo popular que habitaba el mundo natural. Canciones como Take Me Home, Country Roads, Leaving on a Jet Plane o Rocky Mountain High son famosas en todo el mundo. Las características de sus canciones son: una melodía dulce, un acompañamiento de guitarra elegante y unas verdadera convicción en sus letras. Fue uno de los pocos cantantes occidentales conocidos más allá de Europa, incluyendo África, India y el sudeste asiático. En los meses inmediatamente anteriores a su muerte en un accidente de avión en 1997 a la edad de 53 años, estuvo grabando un episodio de Nature Series, centrado en las maravillas naturales, la inspiración de sus canciones más queridas. El resultado es una película conmovedora y melódica que registra sus últimos viajes en el yermo y contiene su última canción Yellowstone, Coming Home, compuesta mientras navegaba por el río Colorado con su hijo y con su hija pequeña. Muerte Denver tuvo dos pasiones en su vida: la música y volar. Como piloto experimentado, Denver tenía su propio Lear Jet, planeadores y voló en aviones acrobáticos y a veces en un F-15. Esta pasión por el aire le costó a Denver la vida cuando cayó al mar en su recientemente adquirido Rutan Long-EZ el 12 de octubre de 1997. Los medios de comunicación publicaron versiones contrarias de la causa del accidente, donde de hecho, fueron múltiples causas serias del accidente (que es común en los accidentes aéreos), y en última instancia un error del piloto por no preparar adecuadamente el vuelo en un avión poco familiar para él o un error del piloto al procurar cambiar al tanque derecho y poniendo inadvertidamente el avión en un terreno escarpadoArtistas relacionados Denver comenzó su carrera con el Chad Mitchell Trio; su distinguible voz pudo ser oída en las canciones en las que cantaba solo como Violets of Dawn. Él grabó tres álbumes con el Mitchel Trio, sustituyendo a Chad Mitchell como líder del grupo. Su grupo Denver, Boise and Johnson lanzó un single antes de que comenzara su carrera en solitario. Bill Danoff y Taffy Nivert aparecen como cantantes y compositores de muchos álbumes de Denver antes de que formaran la Starland Vocal Band en 1976. Los álbumes de la banda fueron publicados con el sello Windstar de Denver. El primer éxito en solitario de Denver fueLeaving on a Jet Plane, que fue grabado por Peter, Paul and Mary. Éste fue el mayor éxito del grupo. Denver grabó canciones de Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, David Mallet y otros muchos de la escena folk, así como con el tenor Plácido Domingo. "Annie's Song", escrita en 1974, para su esposa Annie. Es muy popular entre los aficionados al Sheffield United, que la convirtieron en su himno no oficial. La melodía recuerda al oficial. In 1978, flautist James Galway took an instrumental version to number three in the UK. He did this version to honor of his second wife, Anna (Annie) Renggli from Lucerne, Switzerland. Its tune is also used in the UK by "The Greasy Chip Butty Song", the chant of fans of Sheffield united f.c. .

  • Alex Mitchell Professors Corrigan and Feinman-Todd Washington Confidential 10.18.16
    Alex Mitchell Professors Corrigan and Feinman-Todd Washington Confidential 10.18.16 Beyond the Country Roads On a frigid January morning, I stood inside the lackluster interior of a Capriotti’s sandwich shop that had recently opened at 1201 34th Street. The storefront was primarily comprised of faux-steel finishes and glaring television screens. The Hoya had sent me to this decidedly bland chain restaurant to write a review for its “Guide” section. I found the restaurant, along with its artery-clogging fare, largely forgettable. However, what I didn’t know at the time was that the building I was standing in was actually steeped in American cultural history. The structure’s significance would not be revealed to me until a walking tour almost two years later. This compact building at 1201 34th Street had once been “considered one of the top… clubs in the country” (Harrington). It had housed two famous performance venues during the mid-twentieth century. First as “The Shadows” in the early sixties, the venue had seen the early stand-up acts of comedians like Woody Allen and Bill Cosby (“Clinking Glasses and Swinging…”). Later, in 1963, when this “undistinguished gray building” transformed into “The Cellar Door,” it cemented its place in American music history (Harrington). It was at this club in December 1970 that the American Folk hit, “Take Me Home, Country Roads” was performed for the very first time. What’s more, the song was written by a Georgetown graduate only a few blocks away from the storied nightclub. In this essay I plan to explore the unlikely story of a young Georgetown student who found himself written into the annals of American music history and the long-forgotten musical venue that made it all possible.

  • Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto's Transnational Re
    King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 by John Jason Collins Wilson A dissertation Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © John Jason Collins Wilson, May 2013 ABSTRACT King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 John Jason Collins Wilson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Doctor Catharine Wilson Reggae music facilitated a cultural dialogue between Jamaican migrant and Canadian host in Toronto during the 1970s and 1980s. Exchanges flowed across the city’s ethnic frontier, bridging black and white youth together in an ‘oppositional’ and musical movement. While migrants enacted their Jamaican ethnicity in places where reggae was played, many non-Jamaicans satisfied a curiosity in the music of their migrant friends. This study examines the process of migration of people and music as seen from both the migrant and the host’s perspective. It is as much about black Jamaicans as it is about white Torontonians. Twenty Jamaicans and twenty non-Jamaicans were interviewed for this project. Though reggae became an expected part of Toronto’s musical vernacular, the Canadian version meant different things to different people. Indeed, sometimes the only thread that tied the varied experiences together was that Toronto was the place where reggae happened. Still, as a hybrid, reggae had rather evolved outside of place. It was a transnational musical form, constantly updated by influences traversing the ‘Black Atlantic’ in an on-going and triangular musical conversation.

If you want to use the chords above and play along with John Denver’s official version, you’ll need a capo on the 2nd fret. Without a capo, you’d need to use chords in the key of A to play along with John Denver (which makes a bit tougher, since a barre chord is needed for F#m). Otherwise, you can use no capo (using the chords I show) and you’ll sound just fine on your own. Understanding the timing of each chord. We’ll have 4 counts per measure. Chords are either played for 1 or 2 measures, depending on the part of the song. Here’s a look at the chord progressions used for each section. Everytime you see a chord name, play that chord for 4 counts (1 measure). If you see a slash (“/”), repeat the prior chord for an additional measure. How to play the chords. Here’s how to play the chords you’ll need. For the F chord, you can get away with the “easy” approach of only playing the middle four strings - this prevents you from needing to play a full barre chord, which is more difficult.

  • [Morgantown] Dominion-Post's “Far Out: “Country Roads” Turns 50
    Far out: “Country Roads” turns 50 by Jim Bissett, The Dominion Post April 11, 2021 Any ex-pat West Virginian who has ever punched up “Take Me Home, Country Roads” on the jukebox can tell you. The late John Denver’s far-out ode to moonshine, mountain mamas and winding, Whitman-like lanes can’t help but make a person on the other end of that exchange feel like he should have been home yesterday. Even if the summoner of the three minutes and eight seconds of sudden, unexpected longing couldn’t get out fast enough after graduation. Fifty years ago on this day – April 12, 1971 – West Virginia became a destination, on AM radio. That’s when the aforementioned song was released as a single from Denver’s “Poems, Prayers and Promises” album. Critics haven’t been entirely unkind to the Me Generation LP, heavy on singer- songwriter sensitivity. Thank the Mountain State standard most of West Virginia’s born-and-bred now simply refer to as, “Country Roads,” for that. “I knew I had something,” Bill Danoff told The Dominion Post previously. Wherever home is, take me there Danoff was a Washington, D.C., folk singer and wannabe rock ‘n’ roller by way of Springfield, Mass. He came to Georgetown University in the 1960s to study Chinese language and culture while dabbling in the capital city’s thriving local music scene. That’s how he and his then-wife, Taffy Nivert, also a songwriter, got to know Denver, who was doing frequent club dates there while trying to forge his name in music.

The restaurant, along with its artery- clogging fare, was largely forgettable. Its brick walls, faux-steel finishes, and clanking metal chairs could have been in any fast-casual eatery from San Francisco to San Juan. But, what made this restaurant stand out wasn’t its 860-calorie “Steakenator” sandwich, but its esteemed place in American musical history.

  • Almost Heaven the Rev
    Sermon 6 Easter C May 26, 2019 Almost Heaven The Rev. Deborah Woolsey Church of the Good Shepherd, Athens, Ohio It was on a drive along a winding road through a scenic countryside, nowhere near West Virginia, that singer and songwriter Taffy Nivert began writing a song that has transcended time, genres and continues to bridge differences. Her partner Bill Danoff who is also a singer songwriter liked it so much he started working on the song too. But it was missing something. The couple thought perhaps they’d sell the song to country music legend Johnny Cash, but while headlining with another singer songwriter at a club in Washington DC between Christmas and New Year in 1970, they changed their mind and shared the song with John Denver instead. John fell in love with it, and together, all three singer songwriters collaborated to write a song people all over the world would come to know. Every time they performed the finished song at the club where they were headlining, the audience gave them a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes. Later, in interviews both Dan and Taffy say that’s when they knew they had a hit song. John Denver never doubted the song was a hit, but he also felt the song had more than just the potential to sell. That’s why when the record company that published the song almost gave up on it after it failed to reach number one in the music charts after a few weeks, John told them to keep plugging the song.
