"I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado"

     by John Denver

 

"I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
He'd rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone
In the dawn the subways comin in the dawn I hear him hummin'
Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon"

"Wild Montana Skies"   by John Denver

 

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, Montana, give this child a home
Give him a love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies"

Winslow, Arizona, included in the Eagles "Take It Easy" has taken their claim to fame "to the limit".

 

"standing on a corner..." has become a new revenue stream; good for them!

 

I've been there (before Glen) and it was a sweet place in the 70s/80s; seemed non-judgemental, laid back and friendly; wish I'd stayed.

 

peace
