Today, in 1943, Roswell, NM, Henry John Deutschendorg Jr. was hatched. Oh, yeah, you probably know him as John Denver.

Today is also the day that Jimmuh Cahtuh and his cabal of Liberals turned over control of the Panama Canal.

Often, I reminisce about a favorite song of mine by Mr. Denver: 'Poems, Prayers & Promises'....

'I've been lately thinking
About my life's time
All the things I've done
And how it's been
And I can't help believing
In my own mind
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end

I've seen a lot of sunshine
Slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I've known my lady's pleasures
Had myself some friends
And spent a time or two all on my own

And I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have a chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share

The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long
And time around me whispers when it's cold
The changes somehow frighten me
Still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
For though my life's been good to me
There's still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family
I'd like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon

I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have the chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
And all the memories we share.'

That was when I had first started playing guitar; I didn't know the intro was a lot easier to play if you used the same D tuning instead of standard.

I'll have you perform it next time I see you, Loki. Don't disappoint me.

Loki.. YOU are just a regular super guy AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, and I find myself always in agreement with what you comment here. I wish you just the best, the VERY BEST New Year!!!!

There are a lot of songs with the 1st and 6th strings dropped down to "D." It definitely has a great sound to it. The Wizard by Uriah Heep is a good example.

I've got a great idea~~ Why don't we have a concert and You and Loki could play for everyone???

We could have a huge meet n greet and anyone else that plays come, and do some jammen too...

Wanna??? Huh, huh??

Good Morning to everyone..
Almost New Year..Happy. Happy to all...

Oh, Lord...you just destroyed whatever modesty Loki had remaining within his being.

Maybe all could join you, Arch, WeeWillie & I at our April meeting in Clayton, New Mexico. Loki is somewhat familiar with northern N.M.

That is, of course, assuming he is not wanted for past crimes in the Land of Enchantment.

I remember watching John Denver on TV as a kid, and wondering why his lips were always so white.

That one is only the 6th string. The first stays in standard. "Find the Cost of Freedom" Crosby Stills & Nash has first and sixth dropped.

Loki is never alone. I have my attitude to keep me company. Clayton, NM is out on the plains and is a lot of nothing. There is a funny little formation called the "Rabbit Ears" near there. A landmark for the Cimmarron cutoff on the old Santa Fe Trail. I was on the Western slope of the Sangre de Cristos.

Loki is unable to do much traveling at this time. My wife is not able to take proper care of my dogs right now, as far as their daily walks. Especially the pit bull.

If you can make it, ole buddy, I will cover for your coffee

...so long as refills are free.

Is it true, Loki, that you are the living descendant of 'Black Jack' Ketchum, infamous outlaw from the Clayton area
