rbpicker Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Quick iPad recording of John Denver’s “Like A Sad Song”. Not my J45 this time, played on an OM28. Some of John’s songs were sappy, but he gave a genuine, heartfelt performance every time. I’m sorry he’s gone. Bonus flubs included at no charge. thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy it.

MissouriPicker Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Nice rendition of this song. You’re easy-to-listen-to. Denver was a super songwriter and tragically died as he was overcoming his life’s demons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSoxBiker Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 What MissouriPicker said. You're easy to listen to. I've not heard this one before. It's a nice one and I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpicker Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Could you guys call my kids and tell them what you said about me being easy to listen to?? Seriously, thank you for giving this a listen and taking time to jot a note. I appreciate it. Roger 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Very nice, Roger. I get quite nostalgic about JD from time to time; his music was big for me in my teens and into my college days. Lotsa clean, clear guitars where the likes of me could play along and learn some things. A couple of years ago, my college roommate and I reunited after 35 years. She sang and I played, back in the day, so when she came for a visit, we went out to my then-regular open mic and whipped out one of our favorites, “Eclipse,” like no time had passed. John’s songs live on…thanks for reviving this one. Well done. Eclipse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpicker Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Thanks so much, Anne. I appreciate you giving this a listen. Yes, John’s music wasn’t for everybody, I guess, but much of it spoke to me. And that voice was hard to deny...wow. Thanks also for posting the link to you and your college friend performing. I had not heard that song by JD. It was great watching you two recapture your college memories that way. Bravo! Roger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbpicker Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Thanks Sal. Yes, the OM28. I’m enjoying it. It’s enough different from my J45 that it offers a whole different approach to certain songs. The J45 still reigns supreme, but the variety is fun. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
