Looking For Space

John Denver, poet, singer songwriter, activist and pilot. His real name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. Born December 31, 1943 and sadly died on October 12, 1997.

He left behind family and friends and a legion of fans, who loved his music. He also left behind a gift of songs and stories that live on to this day and still inspire many with their words of comfort and dreams.

It is interesting to see that in his early days John Denver had to promote himself because the record label he was with did not see a lot of hope for him. This was even after ‘Leaving on a Jet Plane’ had gone to number one in the charts. It is inspiring to think that with all the odds against success, he was unwilling to give in.

Sadly he leaves behind an empty space in our hearts and I am sure, so many stories left untold.
