Way, way, waaaay back in the day, I was a member of a three person entertainment committee at college that hired a then 'hardly known' John Denver for a Spring concert.
When we picked Mr. Denver up at the airport he had a friend with him, who he'd invited to sit in with him: Kenny Rankin.
Their 'rehearsal / soundcheck' is probably the best 'show' I've ever seen or heard. Wish that there had been a way to record it.
The show that night was absolutely wonderful; within a year John Denver was at the top of the charts and his phenomenal career had begun to skyrocket.
Sail on, Kenny ... your sweet voice will live on forever.
