- Inge loaded up many many photo albums to the club's website. Photos of John Denver, our Weekends, journeys through the USA and so on. More are to follow… Maybe you want to have a look?
http://johndenverclub.org/englfoto.htm - How many eager TV watchers are among you? On October 12, LEUTE HEUTE showed a report about John. They told about his life, about his music, his commitment for the environment and animals, about the Wheeler Concerts and the Sanctuary in Aspen. Unfortunately, just this episode is not available in the Mediathek…
I may think it is a little unusual that television became aware of John on the THIRTEENTH anniversary of his death of all, but of course I am happy to see he is not forgotten, even here in Germany…
- Sony Music London is working on a CD/DVD with the "John Denver’s Live In London Shows". Tentative time for release is spring 2011. Keep your fingers crossed that it will work out!
- Chris Nole put together a wonderful video with his interpretation of "Poems, Prayers, and Promises" and photos of his time on tour with John and loaded it up to YouTube. Here his words:
POEMS PRAYERS AND PROMISES
In the spirit of celebrating John Denver and his iconic music, here is my solo piano arrangement of John’s masterpiece Poems, Prayers and Promises. Accompanying the track are personal photographic memoirs of us - the band and crew, traveling the world having a great time on the road with John Denver. I am very grateful to have been there – it was truly a wonderful experience. Enjoy, and please share & comment!

- We received a letter from Steve Weisberg, who, as you will know, played in John's band in the 70s...
He plans little sessions with not more than 8 people at a time to come together and share many memorable, comical, spiritual, unspoken experiences.

- Here (once again) the release of the JD concert in Cedar Rapids from Dec. 10, 1987 is announced - a solo concert without band or orchestra, this will certainly be a special treat.
The linked article mentiones April 20 as release date, but according to our research, they seem to be taking (pre?)orders here already: https://secure.ccmusic.com/item.cfm?itemid=CCL60022
However, overseas postage is id="mce_marker"1,50 - maybe we should wait a while? - John mother, Erma Louise Deutschendorf Davis, died on January 17th after an illness at the age of 87 in Denver
