@Bretrick Whilst I agree Mr Deutschendorf wrote and performed some good songs, twas a pity his flying skills of his kit plane were not quite as good; or did his penchant for alcohol over take him :man_shrugging:If I remember correctly, he had lost his flying permit (revoked) due to his problem, so he was flying illegally.

Our music teacher at school taught us that song, I still remember it, just the first part though.

This has always been my favourite John Denver Song. Ironically, John sings of a flight from LA to Aspen, “it’s a long time to hang in the sky”, as he was killed in a flying accident in his own private plane.

My boarding school was deffo progressive and the music master was into Buddy Holly, so our go-to song was Oh Boy and my twanging skills were honed to such offerings :guitar::notes::clap::+1:
