It took exactly ten minutes on a cold Aspen ski lift for John Denver to change the world with his song. He simply had a heart so full of his wife, Annie, that the lyrics poured out faster than the wind. Now two men are performing John Denver’s ‘Annie’s Song. They are playing the song in memory of their freestyle ski days from 40 years ago.
The music stays true to that original spark without any unnecessary noise. It highlights the acoustic purity that made the 1970s the golden age of the singer songwriter. It reminds us that you do not need a light show when you have a melody that touches the soul. This is a quiet celebration of a time when songs were built on nothing but honesty and a guitar.
