Wow.. summertime memories.

I was stationed at Lowry AFB back in 1980. One day, I left base and went to Red Rocks to chill out. So I am sitting in the ampitheatre taking in the sun on this beautiful day and down at the stage there is this dude playing guitar.

I go down there, say hello and ask if he minds if I listen for a while. He smiles, says no problem and starts playing. The music, combined with the sunshine in this magnificent theatre washed all of my troubles away.

I looked around and said to myself it gets no better than this.

After about 20 minutes I got up to leave. The dude asked me if I was in the military. I said yeah, I am stationed at Lowry. I told him my name and shook his hand.

He said thank you for listening and said he appreciated all we do for our country. Then he introduced himself. His name was John Denver.
