Rhymes and Reasons....such a beautiful song, thanks for the reminder Jerome...
I love the way John Denver makes songs sound so simple both musicaly and lyrically. im glad I actually had the good fortune to see him perform live twice, once in the late 1970s when I was bordering on becoming a teen, saw him again in 1981/82ish.

Another favourite is Calypso. He did not need backing or affects or anything other than his voice and his guitar. One of the last true great songwriters. Sorry I never got to see him live. That would have been something to see.

Jacqueline Mary du Pré died on this day in 1987 â she was 42 and had multiple sclerosis. Terrible disease for anyone, not least one of the most talented cellists we have ever seen. She stopped performing at the age of 28 due to her illness, but that hasnât prevented her from being forever associated with this piece of music â nobody else plays it quite the same way. Her interpretation is considered legendary, and so it should be. Beautiful.
