OpinionI was introduced to John Denver at a young age

by my father. I really enjoy listening to all of Denver’s different songs. It is tough for me to pick my favorite song. I am torn between “Rocky Mountain High” and “Take me Home, Country Roads”. I really like how most of Denver’s music is about the environment and the outdoors. I really enjoy the outdoors so this might be the reason why enjoy John Denver’s music so much.
