John Denver(1943-1997)

Was cremated, and his ashes spread over the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

[on composing for Los osos y yo (1974)] Heck, I'm no Henry Mancini or Michel Legrand. I just play the guitar and write songs. I know I'm incapable of orchestrating an entire film. They just asked me to write something expressing the story about a guy who's back from Vietnam and sorta lost, who goes to an Indian village in the Northwest.
