The flowers the children-----and John Denver.

                                                                                  

  love John Denver's songs, his lyrics, his music,
   his pure clear mellow voice.They are all
so lovely it is difficult to choose just one.

Rhymes and Reasons has a certain nostalgia for me
as years ago, when I organised a more varied Oasis programme,
I held monthly concerts in the local church hall.
These were not 'religious'- more a relaxing  mix
 of easy to listen to songs and those touching on
 the themes of Love and Peace.It's interesting how
often the 'sixties' tunes appeared in the repertoire.

Like myself, Pierre, our young singer, loved John Denver
and Rhymes and Reasons along with Country Roads
and Annie's Song were his favourites.
He sang the former with fervour and feeling
so the song has fond memories for me.

So much of my own belief is crystalised in the beautiful lyrics,
how we need this simplicity and wisdom to cut through all
the meaningless hypocrisy and posturing that we so often see
around us today.

 So relax and enjoy it.
